The Sight Sciences Viscoelastic Injector is a manually operated device for delivery of small amounts of viscoelastic fluid, for example Healon™ or HealonGV™ from Abbott Medical Optics (AMO), Amvisc™ from Bausch & Lomb, or PROVISC™ from Alcon, during ophthalmic surgery.

The Sight Sciences Viscoelastic Injector is a sterile, single use, manually operated instrument used by ophthalmologists to deliver small amounts of viscoelastic into the eye during ophthalmic surgery. The Viscoelastic Injector is designed to function with commonly used viscoelastic fluids made commercially available by companies such as Abbott Medical Optics (AMO), Bausch & Lomb, and Alcon. The Sight Sciences Viscoelastic Injector dispenses fluid on the principle of exchanging volumes much like a syringe. The handheld instrument includes a cannula, injection tube, internal reservoir, plunger tube and finger wheels. The finger wheels on the handle of the device are used to advance the plunger tube into the viscoelastic fluid reservoir thereby dispensing viscoelastic fluid. The finger wheels are placed on both sides of the handle facilitating viscoelastic delivery in either the left or right eye (OD or OS) using either hand.

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Sight Sciences Viscoelastic Injector, a medical device for delivering viscoelastic fluid during ophthalmic surgery. While the document mentions performance testing, it does not contain the specific details required to fully answer the request regarding acceptance criteria and the comprehensive study that proves the device meets those criteria.

Here's an analysis based on the available information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Missing Information: The document states that acceptance criteria were "based on viscoinjector dispensing performances, intrinsic strength of the materials, and the load to which the Sight Science Viscoelastic Injector would be subjected during intended use." However, it does not explicitly state the quantitative or qualitative targets for these criteria (e.g., "dispensing accuracy within X%", "material strength > Y MPa"). The reported performance is a general statement that "testing demonstrated that the proposed device performs as intended and is functionally equivalent to the predicate device," without specific data points to correlate to the acceptance criteria.

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

• Sample size for test set: Not specified.
• Data provenance: Not specified (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective).

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

• Number of experts: Not specified.
• Qualifications of experts: Not specified.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

• Adjudication method: Not specified.

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

• MRMC study: Not applicable. This device is a manually operated instrument for delivering fluid, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device used by human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance is irrelevant to this device.

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

• Standalone performance: Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an algorithm. Its performance is inherent in its physical and mechanical functions, not in an independent algorithm. The "simulated use testing" would be the closest analogue, but it still involves human interaction, albeit in a controlled test environment.

7. The type of ground truth used

• Type of ground truth: Not explicitly stated, but based on the nature of the device (a fluid injector), the "ground truth" would likely be derived from:
  • Metrological measurements: Precise measurement of dispensed volumes, flow rates, and consistency.
  • Physical properties analysis: Testing material strength, durability, and sterility.
  • Functional performance: Observational and quantitative data from simulated use, verifying the device's ability to inject viscoelastic fluid smoothly, accurately, and without issues.

8. The sample size for the training set

• Sample size for training set: Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI model that requires a training set.

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

• Ground truth for training set: Not applicable (as above).
