The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Virtue RF device, an electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device. This type of FDA submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than undergoing a clinical trial to prove de novo effectiveness or meeting specific performance acceptance criteria for a novel device. As such, the document does not contain information typically found in a study demonstrating a device meets acceptance criteria involving human or animal subjects, ground truth, or statistical measures of performance like AUC, sensitivity, or specificity.
Instead, the submission demonstrates substantial equivalence primarily through:
- Bench testing: Adherence to recognized electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-2) and biological compatibility (ISO 10993-1).
- Thermal effect tests: Performed on four types of tissues (liver, kidney, muscle, and skin) as guided by FDA for electrosurgical devices.
- Direct comparison of technological characteristics: Side-by-side tables comparing the proposed device's various handpieces (Smart RF, Exact RF, Deep RF) with its own predicate device (Virtue RF K202415) and other reference devices (Primaeva Medical Miratone System K082391, Agnes K192728, and Agnes K160469, though K160469 is not explicitly listed as a reference device, it appears in a comparison table for Exact RF).
Therefore, I cannot provide the detailed acceptance criteria and study information requested in the prompt, as these elements are not part of this specific type of regulatory submission. The document concludes that "Substantial equivalence is supported by the performance testing and there are no new questions of safety or effectiveness."
To explicitly address your points:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
- Acceptance Criteria for Bench Testing: Adherence to the listed IEC standards (e.g., meeting specific safety thresholds for electrical current, electromagnetic emissions, and biological compatibility). The "reported device performance" is that it passed these tests.
- Acceptance Criteria for Thermal Effect Tests: The criteria would be to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device in terms of thermal effects on tissues. The "reported device performance" is that the "Test shows that the VirtueRF is substantially equivalent to the predicate device."
- Acceptance Criteria for Technological Characteristics: The criteria are for the proposed device's features (Source of energy/Modality, Radiofrequency, Output energy type, Electrode type, Max Power, RF Duration, Number of Needles, Grounding Mechanism, Cooling Modality) to be "Same" or "Similar" to the predicate/reference devices, with justifications where there are differences (e.g., "Similar; same as reference device" or "Same as reference; similar to predicate device"). The "reported device performance" is detailed in the comparison tables provided in the document (pages 6-8).
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Not applicable for this type of submission. The "tests" here are bench tests on the device's hardware and thermal effects on tissues, not clinical trials on human subjects. The tissue tests would likely use an ex vivo or in vivo animal model, but details on sample size or provenance are not provided.
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. Ground truth from human experts is not used for this type of technical and bench testing-focused submission.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. No expert adjudication is involved.
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 device is not an AI-assisted diagnostic 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 a software algorithm; it's an electrosurgical device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For the thermal effect tests, the "ground truth" would be objective measurements of tissue coagulation or heating, compared to measurements from the predicate device. For technical standards, the "ground truth" is adherence to the specified parameters in the IEC and ISO standards.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not a machine learning device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable.

Summary of what the document focuses on:
The K111833 submission for Diagnosoft, Inc. Virtue is a "traditional 510(k)" for a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) software. The evidence provided and accepted by the FDA for this type of device typically revolves around demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to existing legally marketed predicate devices in terms of:
- Intended Use: The Virtue's intended use is broad, covering viewing, image manipulation, communication, printing, and quantification of images from CT or MRI.
- Technological Characteristics: Its operational and fundamental characteristics are compared to predicate devices like the Philips Easy Vision Workstation and Harp 2.06.
- Safety and Effectiveness: The conclusion is that "any differences do not affect the product's safety or effectiveness." This often relies on software verification and validation activities (V&V) to ensure functions work as designed, adhere to software engineering best practices, and don't introduce new risks, rather than a clinical performance study with diagnostic endpoints.
Therefore, for this specific device and submission type, the absence of detailed clinical study performance data, acceptance criteria, and ground truth information is expected as it falls under a different regulatory pathway than novel diagnostic AI algorithms.

This document describes the 510(k) summary for the Coloplast Virtue™ Ventral Urethral Elevation Sling System. The submission claims substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices (K082640 and K091152).
Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing your specific questions:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The provided text does not contain explicit acceptance criteria or detailed reported device performance in a quantitative manner. The submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence through "bench testing compared to the predicate device and existing specifications." This implies that the 'acceptance criteria' were met if the bench test results for the modified device were comparable to the predicate and fell within established specifications, but these specifics are not provided in the summary.
Since no specific performance metrics are provided in the document, a table cannot be constructed with performance data.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document only mentions "bench testing." It does not specify a sample size for the test set, nor does it provide any information on data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) for any clinical or non-clinical studies. Bench testing typically refers to laboratory-based evaluations, not human or observational data.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Since only "bench testing" is mentioned and there are no clinical studies or human-involved test sets described, there is no information provided regarding experts establishing ground truth or their qualifications.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
As there are no clinical studies or human-involved test sets described, there is no adjudication method mentioned.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. The document explicitly states "nonclinical tests" and "bench testing." It does not mention any multi-reader multi-case comparative effectiveness study or any studies involving human readers.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
This device is a surgical sling system, not an algorithm or AI. Therefore, the concept of "standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance)" is not applicable. The "device performance" would refer to the mechanical and biological performance of the sling itself.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For the "bench testing," the ground truth would be established by engineering and material specifications – i.e., whether the physical properties and performance characteristics (e.g., tensile strength, pore size, biocompatibility) of the modified device meet predefined engineering standards and are comparable to the predicate device. The document does not provide details on these specific ground truths.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This device is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm. Therefore, the concept of a "training set" with a sample size for machine learning is not applicable.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As explained above, the concept of a "training set" for this type of device is not applicable.
