The Evolve DS (delivery system) delivers INOMAX® (nitric oxide for inhalation) therapy gas into the inspiratory limb of the patient breathing circuit in a way that provides a constant concentration of nitric oxide (NO), as set by the user, to the patient throughout the inspired breath. It uses a specially designed Injector Module, which enables tracking of the gas delivery system waveforms and the delivery of a synchronized and proportional dose of NO. It may be used with ventilators and respiratory care devices for which the Evolve DS has been validated. The Evolve DS provides continuous integrated monitoring of inspired NO2 and NO with a comprehensive alarm system. The Evolve DS also provides monitoring and alarms for the drug delivery system.
The Evolve DS incorporates a battery that provides up to 4 hours of uninterrupted NO delivery in the absence of external power. The Evolve DS also incorporates an integrated electronic blender that functions as a backup delivery device to provide an adjustable INOmax dose with user supplied oxygen to a manual resuscitator or gas delivery system. The electronic blender incorporates a separate control and delivery pathway that serves as a redundant mechanism for nitric oxide delivery in the event of a main system fault.
The Evolve DS must only be used in accordance with the indications, warnings and precautions described in the nitric oxide drug packaging inserts and labeling and is indicated for use in term and near-term (>34weeks gestation) neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension. The Evolve DS is indicated for a maximum of 14 days use. The primary targeted clinical setting is the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and secondary targeted clinical setting is the transport of neonates.
The EVOLVE Nitric Oxide (NO) Delivery System (DS) is used for administration and monitoring of INOMAX (nitric oxide for inhalation). It is comprised of a main delivery device (EVOLVE), an electronic blender (eINOblender) for backup use, and a Cart which holds the EVOLVE as well as INOMAX drug cylinders, an oxygen cylinder and miscellaneous parts.
The EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System utilizes Technology component technology to deliver Nitric Oxide gas to the patient. The components consist of a main delivery device (EVOLVE), an electronic blender (eINOblender) for backup use, and a Cart which holds the EVOLVE as well as INOMAX drug cylinders, an oxygen cylinder and miscellaneous parts. In this revision of the EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System, the changes to the device includes the labeling for compatibility with respiratory care devices.
The provided FDA document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System. This submission is for an updated version of a previously cleared device (K240410 and K222930), primarily focusing on expanded labeling for compatibility with additional ventilator and breathing devices.
Therefore, the document does not contain information about acceptance criteria and a study that proves the device meets those criteria in the context of device performance, as it pertains to a labeling update for compatibility. Clinical studies were explicitly stated as "not applicable to this submission."
Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted based on your request, and what cannot:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
This information is not provided in the document. The filing is for a change in labeling for compatibility with more ventilator devices, not for demonstrating new performance criteria for the core device. It implicitly relies on the original clearance for the device's performance specifications.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Sample size for test set: Not explicitly stated as a numerical value for patients or cases. The "test set" in this context refers to the additional ventilator and breathing devices with which compatibility was tested.
- Data Provenance: The testing was "conducted across all platforms to demonstrate that the EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System performs within published specifications." This suggests laboratory or bench testing rather than clinical data from a specific geographic region or a prospective/retrospective study on human subjects.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):
This information is not provided. The testing described is focused on the device's functional performance and compatibility with other medical equipment, not on clinical interpretations that would require expert consensus for ground truth.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
This information is not provided, as the nature of the "test set" does not involve clinical judgment requiring adjudication.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
This information is not applicable/provided. The device described is a nitric oxide delivery system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic device that would involve human readers or image interpretation.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
This information is not applicable/provided for the same reasons as above. The device doesn't involve an algorithm in the sense of AI for diagnostic or interpretive tasks.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
The "ground truth" for the compatibility testing appears to be the published specifications of the EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System and the functional operation of the connected ventilator devices. The testing aimed to demonstrate that the EVOLVE system "performs within published specifications" when used with the additional ventilators.
8. The sample size for the training set:
This is not applicable/provided. The submission is not for a machine learning or AI-based device that would typically have a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
This is not applicable/provided.
Summary of what is available from the document:
- Device Name: EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System
- Purpose of Submission: Updated labeling for compatibility with additional ventilator and breathing devices.

The Evolve DS must only be used in accordance with the indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions described in the nitric oxide drug packaging inserts and labeling and is indicated for use in term and near-term (>34weeks gestation) neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension. The Evolve DS is indicated for a maximum of 14 days use. The primary targeted clinical setting is the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and secondary targeted clinical setting is the transport of neonates.
The EVOLVE Nitric Oxide (NO) Delivery System (DS) is used for administration and monitoring of INOMAX (nitric oxide for inhalation). It is comprised of a main delivery device (EVOLVE), an electronic blender (eINOblender) for backup use, and a Cart which holds the EVOLVE as well as INOMAX drug cylinders, an oxygen cylinder and miscellaneous parts.
This submission is for an updated labeling for compatibility with additional ventilator and breathing devices for the EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System, not a new device or a software-driven diagnostic. Therefore, the detailed information about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment typically required for AI/ML device studies is not available in this document.
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared device (K222930) by evaluating the impact of new ventilator compatibility labeling.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing the requested points where information is available or applicable:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not provide a specific table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance in the context of an algorithmic diagnostic. Instead, it refers to the performance of the overall EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System, which is a hardware-based medical device.
The "Summary of Non-Clinical Tests" section mentions:
"The Mallinckrodt Ventilator / Gas Delivery System Validation Test Protocol was used to validate the hazards identified from risk input were mitigated. Testing was conducted across all platforms to demonstrate that the EVOLVE DS performs within published specifications. Ultimately, the requirements necessary for the operation of the EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System passed."
This indicates that the acceptance criteria were likely related to the device working within its published specifications when interfaced with the new ventilators, and the reported device performance was that it "passed" these requirements. However, specific quantitative metrics are not provided.
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Device performs within published specifications when used with additional ventilator devices. | "Ultimately, the requirements necessary for the operation of the EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System passed." |
| Hazards identified from risk input are mitigated. | Validation testing confirmed mitigation. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
This information is not applicable and therefore not provided in the document. The study was a non-clinical validation test of device compatibility, not a clinical study on patient data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This information is not applicable. The "ground truth" here would be the functional performance of the device and its compatibility with ventilators, established through engineering and technical validation rather than expert clinical consensus on diagnostic outcomes.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used in clinical studies with human readers to resolve discrepancies in diagnoses or interpretations. This was a non-clinical validation.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission is not for an AI device or a diagnostic requiring human reader interpretation.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This device is a hardware delivery system, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" used for this non-clinical validation was the functional performance of the device and its compatibility with the listed ventilators according to its published specifications and safety requirements. This would be established through engineering tests and measurements, rather than clinical ground truth types like pathology or expert consensus.
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not applicable. There is no training set as it's not an AI/ML device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not applicable, as there is no training set.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document states that Non-Clinical (Bench) Performance Data was conducted to demonstrate the device performs as expected and meets design requirements. This included various bench tests (e.g., accuracy of RF output, electrode temperature sensors, thermal build-up, ex-vivo tissue thermal profile, safety and thermal profile testing, EMS/TENS output specifications).
However, the document explicitly states "Clinical Performance Data: Non-Applicable." This implies that there was no clinical test set using human subjects or patient data. The evaluation for substantial equivalence relies on non-clinical bench testing and comparison to predicate devices, rather than a clinical study with a test set of patient data. Therefore, questions regarding sample size, data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for a clinical test set are not applicable here.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
Since no clinical test set was conducted, the concept of "ground truth" derived from expert consensus on patient data (e.g., from radiologists, pathologists) is not applicable to this submission. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical bench tests would be the established engineering and safety standards and design specifications against which the device's performance was measured.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable, as no clinical test set was conducted.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission explicitly states "Clinical Performance Data: Non-Applicable," making any evaluation of human reader improvement with or without AI assistance irrelevant in this context. The device is a physical therapeutic system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study:
Not applicable. This device is a physical therapeutic system, not an algorithm or AI. Its performance is tied directly to its hardware functionality and energy delivery.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The Evolve Breast Pump requires Hygeia's Personal Accessory System for users to express and collect milk from their breasts.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Evolve Breast Pump (K190465), comparing it to a predicate device, the Hygeia EnDeare Breast Pump (K081932).
However, the document does not contain information about specific acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of diagnostic performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) which would typically be relevant for AI/ML devices. This is a breast pump, not a diagnostic device.
Instead, the "acceptance criteria" for a breast pump would relate to its functional performance, electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and software/firmware robustness. The "study" proving it meets these criteria refers to the non-clinical performance data provided to the FDA.
Based on the provided text, here's an attempt to answer your questions, interpreting "acceptance criteria" and "study" in the context of a breast pump's regulatory submission:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Note: The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a tabulated format with corresponding performance for each criterion. Instead, it describes general performance specifications that were met. Below is a reconstruction based on the information provided, focusing on the functionality of the breast pump.
| Acceptance Criteria (Interpreted from specifications) | Reported Device Performance (Evolve Breast Pump) |
|---|---|
| Electrical Safety | Complies with IEC 60601-1:2005 (3rd Edition) with US deviations per AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012 standard. |

The document states, "Specifications were met and within required, acceptable range for pump operation, cycle rate, and vacuum pressure."
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of patient data or clinical imaging for AI/ML. For this medical device (a breast pump), the "testing" involves hardware and software performance.
- Sample Size: Not applicable in the traditional sense of patient data. Testing was performed on the device itself.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable. The testing was non-clinical, likely conducted by the manufacturer in a lab environment.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
Not applicable. The ground truth for a breast pump's performance is objective measurement against engineering specifications (e.g., vacuum pressure, cycle rate, electrical safety standards). It does not involve expert interpretation of medical data.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. This is not a diagnostic device requiring adjudication of expert interpretations.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
Not applicable. This is a breast pump, not an AI-assisted diagnostic device. No human readers or AI assistance are involved in its primary function.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. While the device contains firmware/software, the "standalone" performance concept typically applies to AI algorithms whose output is a diagnosis or risk assessment. Here, the "standalone" performance would be the pump's mechanical and electronic function, which was tested.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the performance data in this submission is based on:
- Engineering Specifications and Measurements: Direct physical measurements of vacuum (mmHg) and cycle rates (CPM) against predefined ranges.
- Regulatory Standards: Compliance with international and national standards for electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), and risk management (ISO 14971).
- Software Verification & Validation Best Practices: Adherence to FDA guidance for software in medical devices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set" of data in the typical sense. The firmware/software development process would involve iterative testing and refinement, but not "training" on a dataset to learn patterns.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of AI/ML. The firmware's functionality is designed and verified against established engineering principles and requirements, not learned from a dataset with pre-established ground truth labels.

Signature Orthopaedics' Evolve UniPolar Head is intended for hemi-hip arthroplasty only, where the natural acetabulum does not require replacement. The Evolve UniPolar Head is indicated for bone fractures or pathologies involving only the femoral head/neck and/or proximal femur, such as:
- Acute femoral head or neck fracture
- . Fracture dislocation of the hip
- Avascular necrosis of the femoral head ●
- Non-union of femoral neck fractures
- Certain high subcapital and femoral neck fractures in the elderly ●
- . Degenerative arthritis involving only the femoral head
The Evolve™ UniPolar Head is a metallic (per ISO 5832-12) ball with a tapered bore. The head connects to a femoral stem from Signature Orthopaedics' range via taper sleeve. The taper sleeve is manufactured from cobalt-chromium alloy per ISO 5832-12, and includes a 12/14 taper. The head's outer surface is highly polished to articulate against the patient's natural acetabulum as part of a hip hemi-arthroplasty.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Evolve™ UniPolar Head, a hip prosthesis. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than presenting a novel device requiring extensive clinical studies with acceptance criteria and ground truth evaluations typically seen for AI/ML devices or new technologies.
Therefore, many of the requested items related to acceptance criteria, ground truth, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, and standalone performance for AI/ML are not applicable to this type of submission.
Here's a breakdown of the information that can be extracted, and where the requested information is not applicable:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Test/Evaluation | Acceptance Criteria (Not explicitly stated as numerical criteria, but implied by successful completion) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Performance | Range of motion analysis | Adequacy for anticipated in-vivo use (implied) | Adequate |
| Component connection strength testing | Adequate for anticipated in-vivo use (implied) | Adequate | |
| Fretting corrosion testing | Adequate for anticipated in-vivo use (implied) | Adequate | |
| Femoral stem fatigue testing | Adequate for anticipated in-vivo use (implied) | Adequate | |
| Material Composition | Metallic material (head) | Conformance to ISO 5832-12 | Conforms to ISO 5832-12 |
| Taper sleeve material | Conformance to ISO 5832-12 | Conforms to ISO 5832-12 | |
| Design Similarity | Articular surface and taper connection geometry | Similar to Signature Orthopaedics CoCr Femoral Head (K121297) | Similar to K121297 |
| Intended Use | Hemi-hip arthroplasty | Similar to Signature Orthopaedics BiPolar Head (K133370) and Smith & Nephew Tandem UniPolar Head (K896580) | Similar to K133370 & K896580 |
Study Proving Acceptance Criteria:
The "study" proving the device meets the acceptance criteria is a series of non-clinical tests and engineering evaluations. These are outlined in the "Performance Testing" section:
- Range of motion analysis
- Component connection strength and fretting corrosion testing
- Femoral stem fatigue testing
The report states that these tests were conducted "to verify that the performance of the Evolve™ UniPolar Head is adequate for anticipated in-vivo use." The conclusion is that "Non-clinical testing results support the substantial equivalence claim. The Evolve UniPolar Head is expected to perform adequately during clinical use."
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not applicable / Not provided. This document details a 510(k) submission for a traditional medical device (hip prosthesis) based on mechanical and material engineering testing, not a data-driven device like AI/ML. There is no "test set" in the sense of a dataset for an algorithm. The "data" provenance would refer to the origin of the materials and manufacturing, and the engineering tests are conducted in a lab setting.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not applicable / Not provided. Ground truth, in the context of expert consensus, is not relevant for the mechanical and material testing performed for this device. The "ground truth" for these tests is the physical measurement and observation of the device's behavior under simulated conditions.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable / Not provided. Adjudication methods are used to resolve discrepancies in human expert labeling or diagnosis for ground truth establishment, which is not part of this device's testing.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML diagnostic aid. MRMC studies are not relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This is a physical medical device. There is no algorithm to evaluate in standalone mode.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Engineering/Physical Ground Truth: The "ground truth" for the performance testing is based on established engineering principles, material science standards (e.g., ISO 5832-12), and physical measurements obtained from laboratory testing (e.g., range of motion, connection strength, fretting corrosion, fatigue). Outcomes data might be considered relevant in post-market surveillance for long-term device performance but is not part of this premarket submission.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable / Not provided. This device does not involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning. The design and manufacturing processes are refined through engineering development, which could be seen as an iterative "training" process in product design, but not through statistical learning from a data set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable / Not provided. As there is no "training set" in the ML sense, there is no ground truth needing establishment for it. The "ground truth" for design decisions and manufacturing quality would be established through engineering specifications, material standards, and quality control processes.

The Biolitec Medical Device, Inc. Evolve HPD 980/ 1470nm Multiwavelength Diode Laser contains the same identical components as the cleared Biolitec, Inc. Evolve HPD 980/ 1470nm Multiwavelength Diode Laser (K112013).
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Evolve® HPD 980/ 1470nm Multiwavelength Diode Laser. It explicitly states that the device is determined to be substantially equivalent to a predicate device (K112013).
In the context of 510(k) submissions, the acceptance criteria for a new device are typically met by demonstrating that it is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device. This is primarily done by showing identical or highly similar technological characteristics, intended use, indications for use, and principles of operation, and by demonstrating compliance with relevant voluntary consensus standards.
Therefore, the "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this case is the substantial equivalence determination by the FDA, based on a comparison to the predicate device and compliance with established standards. There is no clinical study, comparative effectiveness study, or standalone algorithm performance study described in these documents that would provide information on sensitivity, specificity, or other performance metrics typically associated with AI/software devices.
Here's the breakdown of why certain requested information cannot be provided from this document:
-
A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Substantial Equivalence): The device must be "as safe and effective" as the predicate device (Evolve HPD 980/ 1470nm Multiwavelength Diode Laser, K112013). This implicitly means it must perform within the same safety and effectiveness parameters as the predicate.
- Reported Device Performance: The document states, "The Evolve HPD 980/ 1470mm Multiwavelength Diode Laser is as safe and effective for these Indication for Use as the cleared predicate device." and "The Evolve HPD 980/ 1470nm Multiwavelength Diode Laser has the identical same intended uses, indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device." No specific quantitative performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or other clinical outcomes) are provided for either device.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not applicable / Not provided: No test set or clinical study data is described in this 510(k) summary. The submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through technological and intended use comparisons, and compliance with recognized standards.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not applicable / Not provided: No test set or ground truth establishment is described.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable / Not provided: No test set or adjudication process is described.
-
If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- No: No MRMC study was done, nor is this device an AI-assisted device. The device is a multiwavelength diode laser for general surgical applications.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- No: This is a physical medical device (laser), not an algorithm or software. Therefore, a standalone performance assessment in the sense of an algorithm is not applicable.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Not applicable / Not provided: No ground truth used for a performance study is described as no performance study was conducted for this 510(k). The "ground truth" for this submission is the established safety and effectiveness of the existing predicate device.
-
The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable / Not provided: This is not a machine learning or AI device. No training set is involved.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable / Not provided: No training set is involved.
In summary, this 510(k) submission for the Evolve® HPD 980/ 1470nm Multiwavelength Diode Laser is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device and compliance with relevant voluntary consensus standards. It does not involve performance studies in the context of diagnostic or AI devices, and therefore, most of the requested information regarding independent performance testing, sample sizes, and ground truth is not present in the provided text.

Study Details:
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- The document mentions "studies using 200W 980nm lasers on human cadaver prostates" and "50W 1470nm lasers on prostates of patients with bladder outlet obstruction." However, specific sample sizes for these studies are not provided.
- Provenance: "human cadaver prostates" and "prostates of patients." The country of origin is not specified but given it's a US FDA submission, US data is implied or preferred, but not explicitly stated.
- Retrospective or prospective: Not specified.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- This information is not provided in the document. The document refers to "published clinical data" and "studies," but doesn't detail the methodology for establishing ground truth within those studies.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- This information is not provided.
-
If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- This device is a surgical laser, not an AI diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not applicable and was not performed.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- This device is a surgical laser, and its performance is inherently tied to its use by a human in a surgical setting. Therefore, a "standalone algorithm only" performance study is not applicable. The "performance data" refers to the physical effects of the laser (ablation rates).
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For the ablation studies on prostates, the "ground truth" would likely involve objective measurements of tissue ablation, such as volume of tissue removed, depth of penetration, or other physical/histological evaluations of the treated tissue. The document does not explicitly state the specific type of measurement.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- The document primarily relies on "published clinical data" and studies on cadaver/patient prostates. There is no mention of a "training set" in the context of an algorithm or AI model, as this is a hardware device.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- As there is no "training set" in the context of an AI model for this hardware device, this question is not applicable. The "ground truth" related to the laser's physical performance (e.g., ablation rates) would be established through direct measurement and observation in experiments.
