The GYN-Pump PH304 is a combined suction and irrigation pump for use in hysteroscopic and laparoscopic interventions. During diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy, the GYN-Pump PH304 is intended to provide liquid distension of the uterus and to monitor the volume differential between the irrigation fluid flowing into and out of the uterus. During diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopic procedures, the GYN-Pump PH304 is intended to irrigate fluid into and remove fluid from the abdominal cavity.

The GYN-Pump PH304 is a microprocessor controlled single roller pump that functions according to the peristaltic principle. It transports sterile irrigation fluid to distend the uterus and provides fluid deficit monitoring during operative hysteroscopy. It is also used to irrigate the abdominal cavity during laparoscopy and provides fluid aspiration. The pump consists of the following main components: a power supply, a power switch, a touch display, a connection for the suction function, a roller wheel, a pump head and a casing. The proposed pump is designed to be used with the Fluid Monitoring Unit PS304 in order to assist with fluid deficit monitoring. The Fluid Monitoring Unit PS304 is a component of the GYN-Pump PH304 and together they are a medical electrical system. The pump must be used with the following tube sets: Standard Irrigation Tube Set (also referred to as "ST261"), Suction Tube Set (one connection, "I"-shape; also referred to as "ST287"), Suction Tube Set (two connections, "Y"-shape; also referred to as "ST282"), Vacuum Tube Set (also referred to as "ST291").

The medical device in question is the GYN-Pump PH304, a combined suction and irrigation pump for hysteroscopic and laparoscopic interventions.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document focuses on comparing the GYN-Pump PH304 to its predicate devices, rather than explicitly stating acceptance criteria in a standalone table within the performance section. However, the comparative table on page 7 and the subsequent discussion implicitly define the performance targets for the GYN-Pump PH304 by referencing the predicate devices' specifications and emphasizing improvements or equivalency.

2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

The document describes bench tests for performance.

• Comparative Bench Test – Fluid Deficit Measurement: This test compared the GYN-Pump PH304 to the Aquilex Fluid Control System H112. The sample size for fluid deficit measurement is not explicitly stated in terms of number of procedures or specific data points. It mentions "fluid was dispensed through the system," implying a controlled experimental setup.
• Pressure Regulation Bench Test: This test involved connecting the GYN-Pump PH304 to a model system and cycling it through a range of flow rates and pressures. The sample size is not explicitly stated.
• Data Provenance: The studies were bench tests, conducted in a controlled laboratory environment by the manufacturer (W.O.M. World of Medicine GmbH). The country of origin for the studies would be Germany, where the manufacturer is located. The studies are prospective in nature, as they were conducted to evaluate the performance of the newly developed GYN-Pump PH304.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:

The document does not mention the involvement of experts (e.g., clinicians, radiologists) to establish ground truth for the bench tests. Ground truth for these performance tests was established through manual measurement (for fluid deficit) and continuous monitoring and recording (for pressure regulation) within the experimental setup, likely using calibrated instruments. The expertise would lie in the engineers and technicians conducting the validation tests according to established protocols and standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

No adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1) is mentioned as these were bench tests of a physical device's performance against predefined quantifiable metrics, not assessments of qualitative outputs or interpretations that would require expert consensus.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The studies described are bench tests comparing device performance to predicate devices and predefined specifications, not human reader performance with or without AI assistance. Therefore, no effect size of human readers improving with AI vs without AI assistance is reported.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

The device (GYN-Pump PH304) is a physical pump with embedded software, not an AI algorithm for diagnostic interpretation. The performance data presented is for the standalone device operating according to its design specifications in a test environment. Thus, a "standalone" performance study in the context of an AI algorithm is not applicable here, but the described bench tests effectively serve as standalone performance evaluations of the device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

• Bench Tests (Fluid Deficit Measurement): Ground truth was established through manual measurement of the fluid deficit. This involved a direct and objective physical measurement to compare against the device's computed deficit.
• Bench Tests (Pressure Regulation): Ground truth was established through continuously monitored and recorded pressure data from the model system, likely using highly accurate pressure transducers or sensors.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

The GYN-Pump PH304 is a hardware device with embedded software logic, not an AI/machine learning system that requires a "training set" of data in the conventional sense. The software development, testing, and verification followed standards like IEC 62304, which involves rigorous development and testing phases, but not a "training set" of patient data as understood in AI/ML.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

As there is no "training set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm for this device, this question is not applicable. The software's "ground truth" or correct functioning is established through comprehensive software verification and validation activities (unit testing, integration testing, system testing) against its design specifications and requirements, as per IEC 62304.
