The Mini Needle is intended for use with a luer-tip syringe (e.g. luer-lock or slip-tip luer syringe) for the administration of drugs into the body.

The Mini Needle is a device intended to provide a means of fluid delivery into the human body via body surface puncture. The device is a single lumen needle available in 30G, 32G and 33G sizes with a 5.5mm exposed length. The distal end of the needle has a spring-loaded needle cap, which shields the needle prior to use.

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called "Mini Needle." It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study with acceptance criteria and device performance in the context of an AI/ML or diagnostic device.

Therefore, the requested information regarding "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of AI/ML or diagnostic performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, F-measure, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert consensus, MRMC studies) is not applicable to this document.

This document describes a conventional medical device (hypodermic single lumen needle) and its premarket notification process. The "Performance Data" section details engineering and biocompatibility tests performed to ensure the device performs as intended and is safe, rather than a clinical performance study with AI/ML-specific metrics.

Here's a breakdown of the available information in the context of the device described:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

The document lists performance tests, but it does not provide quantitative acceptance criteria or numerical reported device performance in the format typically seen for AI/ML or diagnostic studies. Instead, it states that "The Mini Needle met all specified criteria and did not raise different safety or performance questions."

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

• Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated for each test. The document mentions "All testing was performed on test units representative of finished devices," implying a sample size appropriate for engineering validation but not specified numerically.
• Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of AI/ML data. The tests are laboratory-based engineering and material science tests.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

This concept is not applicable to the engineering and biocompatibility testing described. Ground truth established by medical experts is relevant for diagnostic or AI/ML performance, not for verifying physical and material properties of a needle.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

Not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are used for resolving disagreements among human readers/experts in diagnostic or AI/ML studies, which is not relevant here.

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 not an AI/ML device, and no MRMC study was conducted.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used:

• For Dimensional and Physical Properties, Bond and Material Strength, Sterilization Validation, and Packaging Validation, the "ground truth" would be established by the engineering specifications and relevant ISO/ASTM standards.
• For Biocompatibility Testing, the "ground truth" is based on the biological response observed in accordance with ISO 10993 standards, determining if the material is non-toxic or non-irritating.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This device does not involve a training set as it is not an AI/ML device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Not applicable. This device does not involve a training set.

The Mini Needle is intended for use with a luer-tip syringe (e.g. luer-lock or slip-tip luer syringe) for the administration of drugs into the body.

The Mini Needle is a device intended to provide a means of fluid delivery into the human body via body surface puncture. The device is a single lumen needle available in 30G, 32G and 33G sizes. The distal end of the needle cap, which protects the needle prior to use.

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the "Mini Needle" device and focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than a comprehensive study proving novel acceptance criteria for a new type of device. Therefore, some of the requested information (like effect size of MRMC studies, number of experts for ground truth, or training set details) is not applicable or not provided in the document.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for the Mini Needle are primarily based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (TSK Hypodermic Needle) and meeting relevant ISO standards for medical needles. The device performance is reported as meeting these specified criteria.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document states: "All testing was performed on test units representative of finished devices." However, it does not specify the exact sample size used for each of the listed tests (Dimensional, Bond/Material Strength, Biocompatibility, Sterilization, Packaging).

Data Provenance: The data appears to be from prospective testing conducted by the manufacturer, OcuJect, LLC, on their Mini Needle devices. There is no mention of country of origin for the data beyond the manufacturer's location in Newport Beach, CA, USA.

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

This information is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission. For mechanical devices like needles, "ground truth" is typically established through adherence to engineering specifications and ISO standards, not expert consensus on medical images or diagnoses. The testing involves physical and chemical evaluations by qualified personnel in laboratories, not medical experts establishing a "ground truth" for a diagnostic outcome.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This is not applicable. Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are typically used in clinical studies where expert opinions might differ on a diagnostic outcome (e.g., classifying an image). For mechanical and physical testing of a needle, the results are objective measurements against defined criteria.

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 is not applicable. The Mini Needle is a physical medical device (a hypodermic needle), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, an MRMC study related to human reader performance with or without AI assistance is irrelevant to this device.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) Was Done

This is not applicable. The Mini Needle is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on objective measurements against established engineering specifications and international standards (ISO standards) for hypodermic needles. These standards detail acceptable dimensional tolerances, material properties, strength, sterility, and biocompatibility.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This is not applicable. As a physical medical device, the Mini Needle does not involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI development.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This is not applicable for the same reasons as above.
