Traus SSG10 Surgical System is an electrical appliance intended to cut, shave, bone & tissue resection, grinding, and drilling in the cranium and spine. Shaver handpiece is not intended for use in neurosurgical procedures.
Traus SSG10 Surgical System is composed of a control box, micro motor and a foot controller as an electric bone surgery machine. A signal for operating a foot controller, a handpiece, etc.., is transmitted when a power source is inputted to a control box (main body) to control functions such as rotational speed, torque and water injection amount.
It is a mechanism for puncturing, and cutting bones and human tissues through rotation and reciprocating motion by connecting handpieces and attachments to a micro motor. Three modes (Drill, Saw, Shaver) can be set, and the handpiece and attachment for each mode can be used in many surgical areas.
The provided text is a Premarket Notification (510(k)) from the FDA for the Traus SSG10 Surgical System. This type of document is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not typically a detailed study proving acceptance criteria for new or innovative device features.
Therefore, the document does not contain the detailed information requested for acceptance criteria or a study proving those criteria, particularly in the context of an AI/ML medical device. The device in question is an "Electric Cranial Drill Motor," which is a traditional hardware device, not an AI/ML powered one.

The eG1 High Speed System is indicated for cutting and shaping bone including spine and cranium.
The eG1 Wireless Hand Control System is intended to be used as an optional accessory to the eG1 High Speed System (K133604) to provide an alternative method for controlling the eG1 Handpiece motor speed instead of using the existing wired foot control pedal.
The eG1 Wireless Hand Control System consists of two articles:
-
The Wireless Hand Control, EG1A (article # WIRELESS-HC) is a sterile, single-use device that snaps on the eG1 Handpiece.
-
The Receiver for Wireless Hand Control, EG1A (article # RECEIVER-HC) is a non-sterile reusable device that plugs into the eG1 Control Console.
The WIRELESS-HC sends information about the amount of pressure applied by the user on its button to the RECEIVER-HC wirelessly. The RECEIVER-HC uses this information to modulate the speed of the eG1 Handpiece motor.
This looks like an FDA 510(k) summary for a medical device called the "eG1 Wireless Hand Control System." The document aims to demonstrate that this new device is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared predicate device ("Foot control pedals used with eG1 High Speed System K133604").
However, the provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets those criteria in the way you've outlined for diagnostic aids or AI products (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, clinical endpoints).
Instead, this document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence based on:
- Identical intended use and indications for use.
- Similar technological characteristics where applicable, and where there are differences (e.g., wireless technology, power source, sterilization), verifying that these differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness through specific engineering and regulatory testing.
The "studies" and "acceptance criteria" discussed here are primarily engineering verification and validation tests and compliance with recognized standards.
Let's break down what is available in the provided text in relation to your request, and explicitly state what is not present:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- What's available: The document lists several tests performed to assess the device's safety, effectiveness, and compliance with standards. It generally states that "All acceptance criteria are met." However, it does not provide a specific table with quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., a specific speed range, latency, signal reliability percentage) paired with reported performance metrics from a clinical study or a performance study with human subjects operating the device for diagnostic or therapeutic outcomes.
- Example of what is present as "performance" in this context:
- Test Category: Design verification analysis
- Purpose: Verify physical characteristics meet design inputs related to interfaces.
- Reported Performance/Conclusion: Met acceptance criteria; differences do not raise new questions of safety/effectiveness.
- Test Category: Design verification testing
- Purpose: Verify functional aspects of the proposed device.
- Reported Performance/Conclusion: Met acceptance criteria; differences do not raise new questions of safety/effectiveness.
- Test Category: Software Validation
- Purpose: Developed applying IEC 62304:2015.
- Reported Performance/Conclusion: Met acceptance criteria; differences do not raise new questions of safety/effectiveness.
- Test Category: Electrical Safety (IEC 60601-1:2012 / ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2012)
- Purpose: Basic Safety and Essential Performance.
- Reported Performance/Conclusion: Certified compliant.
- Test Category: Electromagnetic Compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2:2014)
- Purpose: Electromagnetic disturbances.
- Reported Performance/Conclusion: Certified compliant.
- Test Category: Radio Emissions (IEC 62311:2007)
- Purpose: Human exposure restrictions for electromagnetic fields.
- Reported Performance/Conclusion: Tested according to standard. (Implies compliance, though "compliant" isn't explicitly stated here).
- Test Category: Sterilization Validation (ISO 11135:2014)
- Purpose: Ethylene Oxide sterilization for WIRELESS-HC.
- Reported Performance/Conclusion: Validated according to standard.
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 in this document. This device is a surgical tool control, not a diagnostic device relying on patient data. The "test set" here refers to the physical devices and software being tested. There's no mention of patient data, retrospective/prospective studies, or country of origin for such 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)
- Not applicable/Not provided. This type of information is relevant for studies involving expert interpretation of medical images or other clinical data to establish a "ground truth." This document describes engineering and regulatory compliance testing for a physical device. Ground truth, in this context, would be defined by engineering standards and specifications.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable/Not provided. Similar to point 3, this refers to methods for resolving discrepancies among expert interpretations, which is not relevant for the type of testing described 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/Not provided. This is explicitly for AI-enabled diagnostic aids. The eG1 Wireless Hand Control System is a physical surgical control device, not an AI system or diagnostic aid.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- Not applicable/Not provided. Again, this is for AI algorithms. The device performs its function as designed; there's no "algorithm only" performance separate from the device's operation.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- N/A in the context of your question. For this device, "ground truth" equates to adherence to engineering specifications, performance standards (e.g., motor speed control accuracy, signal latency, electromagnetic compatibility limits), and recognized regulatory standards (IEC, ISO, FCC). It's not a clinical "ground truth" derived from patient outcomes or pathology.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable/Not provided. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable/Not provided. As above, no training set for this device.
In summary, the provided FDA 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of a new surgical control device to an existing one by confirming adherence to engineering specifications, recognized safety and performance standards (like IEC and ISO), and regulatory compliance (FCC). It does not present clinical study data with acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance or AI model evaluation as implied by your detailed questions.

The hekaDrill System consists of electric and pneumatic drill handpieces, a power console, footswitches, attachments, connection cables, irrigation tube kits, cutting tools, and system accessories. The handpieces, attachments, and system accessories are provided non-sterile and are reusable. The console and footswitches are reusable and are not intended to be sterilised. The cutting tools and irrigation tube kits are provided sterile and are single use.
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the hekaDrill System. It includes details about performance testing, but it does not provide acceptance criteria in a quantitative format or a detailed study section with specific sample sizes, ground truth procedures, or expert involvement as requested.
However, based on the limited information available in the "Discussion of the Performance Testing" table, I can extract and infer some aspects related to acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
Here's an attempt to structure the answer based on the given information, with caveats about missing details:
Acceptance Criteria and Supporting Study for hekaDrill System
The K193630 submission for the hekaDrill System included performance testing to demonstrate the functionality and safety of the device compared to predicate devices. The following table summarizes the reported performance relative to general criteria.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criteria (Inferred from "Conclusion" column in source) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
General Performance | Cutting performance (vibration, noise, control) equivalent or superior to predicate. | Cutting performance was equivalent or better to that of predicate device. |
Electrical Performance | Adherence to IEC 60601-1:2005 for electrical safety. | Instruments conform to IEC 60601-1:2005 for electrical safety. |
Electromagnetic Compatibility | Adherence to IEC 60601-1-2:2014 for electromagnetic compatibility. | Instruments conform to IEC 60601-1-2:2014 for electromagnetic compatibility. |
Biocompatibility | Non-cytotoxic. | Non-cytotoxic (No biological reactivity - Grade 0). |
Non-sensitizer (0% sensitization). | Non-sensitizer (elicited no reaction at challenge). | |
Non-irritant. | Non-irritant (Test article sites did not show significantly greater biological reaction than control). | |
Non-toxic (systemic). | Non-toxic (Test article did not induce a significantly greater biological reaction than control extracts). | |
Non-pyrogenic. | Non-pyrogenic (Test article did not induce a Pyrogenic response). | |
Non-hemolytic. | Non-hemolytic (Test article led to a hemolysis index above the negative control of 0.14%). |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: The document does not specify the sample sizes used for any of the performance tests. For instance, for "Cutting performance," it does not state how many devices were tested or how many cutting tasks were performed. For biocompatibility tests, the number of samples or specimens analyzed is not provided.
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. Given that these are bench and lab-based performance tests for a new device submission, they would typically be prospective studies conducted in a controlled lab environment by Zethon Ltd (a UK company) or its contracted testing facilities.
3. 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 performance tests described (cutting performance comparison, electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility) are primarily objective, quantitative measurements against established standards or predicate device performance, rather than requiring expert interpretation for ground truth.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
- This information is not applicable/provided. The tests are objective measurements against standards or predicate performance, not subjective readings requiring adjudication for ground truth.
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. The device, hekaDrill System, is an electric cranial drill motor, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study or assessment of AI assistance would not be relevant to this device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- This information is not applicable. As stated above, the hekaDrill System is a surgical instrument, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- For the General Performance (Cutting performance), the ground truth was based on a comparison to a predicate drill system (Midas Rex Drill Systems), implying the predicate's performance served as a benchmark for "equivalent or better."
- For Electrical Performance and Electromagnetic Compatibility, the ground truth was adherence to international consensus standards (IEC 60601-1:2005 and IEC 60601-1-2:2014, respectively).
- For Biocompatibility, the ground truth was established by recognized biocompatibility testing methods (e.g., L929 MEM Elution for cytotoxicity, Kligman Maximization for sensitization, etc.) where specific biological responses or lack thereof (e.g., "Non-cytotoxic," "Non-sensitizer") define compliance.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- This information is not applicable/provided. The device is a surgical instrument, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- This information is not applicable. As there is no training set for a machine learning algorithm, there is no ground truth to establish for it.

This document describes the Medtronic MR8 Drill System and Midas Rex MR8 ClearView Tools. The provided text is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than independent performance claims against specific acceptance criteria. Therefore, the information provided primarily compares the device to existing predicate devices.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria & Reported Device Performance:
The document does not explicitly present a table of "acceptance criteria" for the overall device in the typical sense of a clinical trial or performance study with defined thresholds. Instead, it details performance testing conducted for the Midas Rex MR8 ClearView Tools to ensure functionality with the MR8 Drill system and comparability to predicate devices. The "acceptance criteria" for this testing appear to be qualitative (e.g., "similar and/or better," "same or more," "below the burn threshold").
Test | Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
Tool Chatter and Hand Vibration | Similar and/or better than equivalent predicates | Scored similar and/or better than the equivalent Predicates |
Irrigation Rate vs IPC Setting | Same or more than the rate displayed on the IPC | Delivered the same or more than the one displayed on the IPC |
Thermal Performance | Completed respective duty cycles intact; Max temperature below burn threshold | Completed duty cycles intact; Maximum temperature below burn threshold |
No additional testing was performed on the MR8 Drill System itself as there were no design changes to it for this submission. The Midas Rex MR8 ClearView Tools are the new elements being evaluated for their compatibility and performance within the existing MR8 Drill System.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not specify the sample size for the individual performance tests (Tool Chatter and Hand Vibration, Irrigation Rate vs IPC Setting, Thermal Performance)conducted on the Midas Rex MR8 ClearView Tools.
The provenance of the data is not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). However, given that this is a 510(k) submission for a medical device by Medtronic, a US-based company, it is highly likely that the testing was conducted under standard quality systems and engineering practices, likely within a controlled laboratory environment. The tests appear to be engineering/bench testing rather than clinical studies with human subjects.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications:
This information is not applicable to the type of testing described. The tests are engineering performance tests, not clinical evaluations requiring expert interpretation of ground truth (e.g., diagnosis from medical images).
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This information is not applicable. The tests are objective, quantitative measurements or qualitative observations during engineering performance testing, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance:
This information is not applicable. The device described is a surgical drill system and associated tools, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretative system.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done:
This information is not applicable. This is not an AI-driven device or algorithm. The performance evaluation focuses on the mechanical and operational characteristics of the surgical tools.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The "ground truth" for the performance tests effectively refers to the physical and functional parameters of the device as designed and expected, as well as established safety thresholds (e.g., burn threshold for thermal performance). It's based on engineering specifications and safety standards relevant to surgical instruments.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
This information is not applicable. No "training set" is mentioned as this is not a machine learning or AI-driven device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
This information is not applicable. As there is no training set mentioned, there is no ground truth established for one.

Thank you for providing the detailed documentation for the Medtronic Powered Surgical Solutions. However, after careful review, I must inform you that the provided information does not contain the specific details required to complete your request for acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets those criteria.
The document is a 510(k) premarket notification for an Electric Drill System. While it discusses the device's indications for use and compares it to predicate devices, it primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices.
Here's why the requested information is not available in the provided text:
- Acceptance Criteria for Device Performance: The document does not explicitly state quantitative or qualitative "acceptance criteria" for the device's performance that would typically be associated with a new or significantly modified device needing to demonstrate its capabilities against specific benchmarks. The focus is on demonstrating that the device performs similarly to previously cleared devices for its expanded indications.
- Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria: Consequently, there is no detailed study described that proves the device meets such acceptance criteria. The performance testing sections (9.12) describe a "Clinical Literature Review" and "Cadaveric Testing."
- The Clinical Literature Review supports the use of the system for expanded indications, but doesn't quantify device performance against specific targets.
- The Cadaveric Testing states that "The Medtronic Electric Drill System is acceptable for its intended use in various surgical procedures," which is a qualitative conclusion rather than a demonstration against defined acceptance metrics. There are no details about what was measured, how it was measured, or what values would be considered acceptable.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or detailed information regarding sample sizes, data provenance, ground truth establishment, or specific performance metrics from the provided document.
The document's purpose is to establish substantial equivalence based on comparable performance and indications for use, rather than to present a de novo study with explicit acceptance criteria for a new device's performance.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for the Test Set:
- Sample Size:
- For the "ELAN 4 Bench Testing Handpieces Summary Table" and "ELAN 4 Bench Testing Craniotome Handpiece Summary Table," the sample size for most tests was 120-123 cycles.
- For the "ELAN 4 Bench Testing Perforator Summary Table," "ELAN 4 Bench Testing Reciprocating Saw Handpiece Summary Table," and "Elan 4 Bench Testing Sagittal Saw Handpiece Summary Table," the sample size for most tests was 100 cycles.
- Data Provenance: The studies described are bench tests, meaning they were conducted in a controlled laboratory environment rather than on human or animal subjects. The document does not specify the country of origin of the data, but the context implies it was conducted by Aesculap, Inc., whose address is in Center Valley, PA, USA. These are prospective tests designed to demonstrate device performance against predefined criteria.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:
- This information is not provided in the document. The studies are bench tests, and the "ground truth" implicitly refers to engineering specifications and performance criteria that the device is expected to meet. It's not a clinical study requiring human experts to establish diagnostic ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- This information is not applicable as the studies are bench tests with clearly defined pass/fail criteria based on engineering specifications. There is no mention of human adjudication for these technical performance tests.
5. Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document describes bench testing comparing the ELAN 4 Electro Motor System to its predicate device based on technological characteristics and performance in a controlled environment. It does not involve human readers or AI assistance.
6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance):
- Yes, the studies described are analogous to standalone performance studies for mechanical devices. The ELAN 4 Electro Motor System was tested in a standalone capacity (i.e., the device itself, without human intervention in the evaluation of the test results beyond operating the equipment and recording data) against predefined performance criteria. There is no "algorithm" in the sense of AI; it's the mechanical/electrical device's performance that is being evaluated.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
- The ground truth used is primarily engineering specifications and predefined performance criteria. For example, a burr should not release during use, labels should remain readable after a certain number of cycles, and temperature should remain within an acceptable range. These are objective, measurable parameters.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
- This concept is not applicable to the described studies. The document describes verification and validation bench testing for a physical medical device, not a machine learning or AI model that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
- This information is not applicable as it is not a study involving a training set for an AI/machine learning model. The ground truth for the verification and validation (bench testing) was established through engineering specifications and safety requirements relevant to the device's function.
