    Intended Use

    Surgify Halo is a sterile surgical burr indicated for shaping and removal of hard tissue and bone in Neurosurgical, Spinal, ENT, and General Surgical procedures.

    Device Description

    The Surgify Halo is a sterile-packaged, single-use rotary cutting device (a burr) made from high-grade metallic materials, designed to cut bone and other hard tissues selectively while minimizing chattering. The device is similar to conventional surgical cutting burrs but includes a ring mechanism in the burr head to reduce chattering. Like traditional burrs, the device is designed to be compatible with commonly marketed, high-speed, surgical drill systems. The Surgify Halo comprises: Shank, Locking Features, Burr Head, and Safety Mechanism (a self-centering ring and spring mechanism installed in the burr head). The moving ring, larger than the burr head, can adopt two positions: First Position (Hard Tissue Mode) where the ring protrudes, preventing cutting edges from engaging, and Second Position (Soft Tissue Mode) where the ring extends beyond the cutting edge, shielding it to minimize accidental soft tissues and an exposed position for cutting hard surfaces like bone.

    AI/ML Overview

    The Surgify Halo is a sterile surgical burr used for shaping and removing hard tissue and bone in neurosurgical, spinal, ENT, and general surgical procedures. The company performed performance testing and design validation/summative evaluation to demonstrate substantial equivalence to its predicate device (K250380).

    Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Note: The provided text states that "All tests fulfilled Design input requirements" and "All tests fulfilled Design input and user requirements." It does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria for each parameter (e.g., "chatter rate < X dB"). The performance is reported as meeting these general design input requirements.

    2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for the Test Set

    • Sample Size:
      • For Functional Testing: Not explicitly stated as a number of devices or trials. The "Results" column simply indicates that "All tests fulfilled Design input requirements."
      • For Design Validation/Summative Usability Testing: Not explicitly stated as a number of participants or cases, only that "production equivalent Surgify Halo (4 mm)" was used.
    • Data Provenance (Country of Origin and Retrospective/Prospective Data): Not specified in the provided document.

    3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth Establishment (Test Set)

    • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated.
    • Qualifications of Experts: For the Summative Usability Testing, it is mentioned that "Surgeons Summative Testing" was performed. Specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience, specialty beyond "Surgeons") are not provided.

    4. Adjudication Method (Test Set)

    • Adjudication Method: Not specified in the document. The usability testing was conducted as "Surgeons Summative Testing," implying direct user evaluation against scenarios, rather than an independent adjudication of results.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

    • MRMC Study Done? No, the document does not mention an MRMC study or any comparison of human readers with vs. without AI assistance. The device is a surgical burr, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop) Performance

    • Standalone Performance Done? N/A. The device is a physical surgical tool, not an algorithm. Its performance is intrinsically linked to its use by a human operator in a surgical setting.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used (Test Set)

    • Ground Truth Type:
      • For Functional Testing: The "ground truth" was likely defined by engineering specifications and design input requirements for physical properties and operational performance (e.g., durability, cutting effectiveness, chatter, noise, thermal output).
      • For Summative Usability Testing: The "ground truth" was established by user requirements and validated through hazard-related use scenarios, assessing whether "user requirements were met" and "user errors" were minimized. This is a form of expert consensus/observation of appropriate use based on human factors principles.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Sample Size: N/A. As a physical medical device (surgical burr) that is not an AI/ML algorithm requiring training data, the concept of a "training set" in the context of machine learning does not apply. The development would involve engineering design, material science, and iterative physical prototyping/testing.

    9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    • How Ground Truth Was Established: N/A, for the same reasons as #8.

    Intended Use

    Surgify Halo is a sterile surgical burr indicated for shaping and bone in neurosurgical, spinal, ENT, and general surgical procedures.

    Device Description

    The Surgify Halo is a rotary cutting device made of high-grade metallic materials. It cuts bone and other hard tissues selectively while reducing chattering. The device is similar to conventional surgical cutting burrs with the addition of a ring mechanism installed in the burr head to reduce chattering. Similar to conventional burrs, the device is designed for use with compatible high-speed surgical drill systems. The Surgify Halo comprises: A shank, which transfers rotary movement of the drill motor to the head. Locking features at the distal end of the shank which allow the burr shank to be locked to a high-speed surgical drill. A head that is shaped to have two cutting edges to cut bone and hard tissue. A safety mechanism consisting of a ring and spring installed in the burr head. The mechanism is self-centering and comprises a spring and a moving ring that is bigger than the burr head. The moving ring can have two different positions: In the first position, the ring protrudes to a level higher than cutting edges and prevents the cutting edges from cutting into the work material. In the second position, the ring retracts into the groove to a level lower than the cutting edges to allow the burr to cut the work material

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the Surgify Halo, a sterile surgical burr, and its performance evaluation to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Adeor HiCut Highspeed Instrument).

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study details:

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

    The document does not explicitly present a table of formal acceptance criteria with specific numerical thresholds. Instead, it states that "All tests fulfilled Design input requirements" and that the "performance of the Surgify Halo burr was comparable to that of the conventional diamond and fluted burrs." This implies that the acceptance criteria were defined by the product's design input requirements and the performance of established devices.

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance
    Design VerificationAll tests fulfilled Design input requirements (Device performance parameters, Durability Cutter Efficiency, Chatter, Thermal Noise, Metallic Contact, Geometrical features).
    Noise TestingAll tests fulfilled Design input requirements.
    Design ValidationAll tests fulfilled Design input requirements (Summative Usability Testing for Nurses and Surgeons based on hazard-related use scenarios and user interfaces).
    Performance TestingThe performance of the Surgify Halo burr was comparable to that of conventional diamond and fluted burrs.
    BiocompatibilityAcceptable per ISO10993-01 (2018).
    Sterilization & Shelf LifeGamma irradiation method ensures effective conditions (Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) < 10-6) to sterilize the product by application of a sterilization dose of 25 kGy.
    Transportation ValidationAll tests fulfilled Design input requirements.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    The document does not specify the sample sizes used for any of the individual tests. Similarly, there is no information provided regarding the provenance of the data (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective nature). The testing appears to be primarily laboratory-based "Design Verification Test" and "Design Validation Testing." The "Performance Testing Animal" section suggests an animal model was used, but details are not provided.

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

    The document mentions "Nurses Summative Testing" and "Surgeons Summative Testing" for Design Validation/Usability. These tests involved a "series of tests based on hazard-related use scenario, user interface." However, the number of nurses and surgeons involved, their specific qualifications, or how their input established a "ground truth" (beyond fulfilling design input requirements for usability) is not detailed.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    No information is provided regarding an adjudication method. The testing seems to be based on meeting predefined design input requirements and comparative performance, rather than a system requiring expert adjudication of ambiguous cases.

    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 section is not applicable. The Surgify Halo is a physical surgical burr, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device. Therefore, an MRMC study related to human readers and AI assistance would not be relevant.

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

    This section is not applicable. The Surgify Halo is a physical surgical burr. Its performance is inherent to the device itself (e.g., cutting efficiency, durability), not a standalone algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    The "ground truth" for the performance evaluation appears to be based on:

    • Design Input Requirements: The device was tested against its own design specifications (e.g., durability, cutting efficiency, noise levels, geometrical features).
    • Predicate Device Comparability: The performance of the Surgify Halo was compared to that of "conventional diamond and fluted burrs," implying these established devices served as a benchmark for acceptable performance.
    • Biocompatibility Standards: Compliance with ISO 10993-1:2018.
    • Sterilization Standards: Compliance with EN/ISO 11137-1/2 (2015).
    • Usability Feedback: Input from nurses and surgeons during summative testing to ensure the device meets intended use and user needs.
    • Animal Performance: Comparison to conventional burrs in an animal model.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This section is not applicable. The Surgify Halo is a physical surgical burr, not a machine learning or AI model that requires a training set.

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

    This section is not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

    Intended Use

    The Hubly Electric Drill is a single-use, sterile, disposable device intended for use on adult patients during neurosurgical procedures for drilling of cranial bone.

    Device Description

    The Hubly Electric Drill is a battery powered cranial drill. It is single-use disposable and provided ethylene oxide sterilized. The drill is designed to create optimal burr holes, in the emergency room, at the bedside, or in the operating room. The system is designed to streamline bedside intracranial access and facilitate the treatment of emergent conditions in adult patients.

    The device is a battery-powered hand drill which can be used one-handed using either hand. The drill is trigger-activated after removal of the battery pull tab. The drill has a single speed and turns off when the trigger is released. The drill bit has depth indicators at 5 and 10mm depth, which the physician may use to visually gauge depth of penetration while drilling.

    The drill also has an auto-stop feature which detects when the bit breaks through the inner table of the skull and immediately stops the drill. The device has an LED indicator which indicates to the user (green) when they are applying enough force and (red) when the drill stops.

    The drill features mechanical plunge prevention with a tapered stainless steel drill may be reactivated any number of times using the trigger if the physician desires.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes performance testing for the Hubly Electric Drill. However, it does not contain specific numerical acceptance criteria or numerical reported device performance in a table format, nor does it detail a study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the way requested.

    Instead, the document outlines various tests conducted to demonstrate the device's substantial equivalence to a predicate device and its safety and effectiveness.

    Here's an attempt to extract and synthesize the information based on the request, noting where information is not explicitly provided in the text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not provide a table with explicit numerical acceptance criteria and corresponding reported device performance values. It generally states that the device "meets all design specifications and requirements" for bench tests and "all in vivo requirements were met" for the animal study.

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

    • Test Set Sample Size: The document does not specify a numerical sample size for any of the performance tests (bench testing, animal study).
    • Data Provenance:
      • Bench Testing: Conducted by Hubly Inc. (implied, as they are the applicant).
      • Animal Study: Conducted in a GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) compliant setting using a sheep model. The location/country is not specified.
      • Retrospective/Prospective: The tests described (bench, animal) are prospective studies conducted to support the 510(k) submission.

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

    • This information is not provided in the document. The studies described are performance tests and an animal study, not studies relying on expert review for ground truth establishment.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • This information is not applicable/provided. The described tests are instrumental/procedural performance tests and an animal study, not studies involving human reader interpretation requiring adjudication.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

    • No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not performed on human subjects." The studies focused on bench performance and an animal model.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

    • The Hubly Electric Drill is a physical medical device (a drill), not an AI algorithm. Therefore, a standalone algorithm performance study is not applicable. The "software verification testing" was conducted on firmware responsible for the automatic stopping feature, but this is an embedded system, not a standalone AI application. The software implements "additional safety features" and has a "Moderate" level of concern.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Bench Testing: Ground truth was implicitly based on engineering design specifications and requirements (e.g., battery life, depth of penetration, trigger performance).
    • Animal Study: Ground truth was based on observational outcomes in the sheep model, specifically demonstrating that "Users (Test Device Evaluators) could safely use the Hubly Electric Drill for intracranial access without damaging the dura or brain tissue."

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    • This information is not applicable/provided. The device is a physical drill with embedded firmware, not a machine learning model that requires a training set in the conventional sense. The "software" mentioned is firmware, which is typically developed through traditional software engineering processes, not trained on data.

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

    • This information is not applicable/provided for the reasons stated in point 8.

    The provided text describes the submission of a medical device (2.1 x 255mm Drill, 22mm Stop) for FDA clearance. It details the performance testing conducted, but it does not represent a study involving AI, human readers, or ground truth establishment in the context of medical image analysis or similar diagnostic applications. Instead, it refers to the physical characteristics and usability of a surgical drill.

    Therefore, many of the requested categories (e.g., sample size for test set/training set, number of experts, adjudication method, MRMC study, standalone performance, type of ground truth) are not applicable to this type of device and the information provided.

    However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the device's acceptance criteria and the study performed for its clearance.


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Tolerance Analysis: Demonstrated compatibility with neurosurgical stereotactic placement devices through dimensional analysis.The tolerance analyses showed that the subject device dimensions are compatible with the dimensions of the neurosurgical stereotactic placement devices; thus, the subject drill bit mates effectively.
    Summative Usability Validation: Acceptance criteria for usability were met, proving the device can be used safely and effectively with neurosurgical stereotactic instruments.The acceptance criteria were met and the results demonstrated the subject device can be used safely and effectively with neurosurgical stereotactic instrument.

    Study Details (as applicable to a physical surgical instrument)

    1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. For the tolerance analysis, dimensional measurements of the drill were compared against the specified dimensions of neurosurgical stereotactic placement devices. For usability, a group of users (not specified in number) would have participated in the summative usability evaluation.

      • Provenance: Not specified, but likely conducted by the manufacturer or a contracted lab.
      • Retrospective/Prospective: The usability evaluation would have been prospective, while the tolerance analysis is a form of design verification.
    2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable in the context of establishing "ground truth" as it relates to diagnostic accuracy. For usability testing, healthcare professionals (e.g., neurosurgeons, surgical technicians) would have been involved, but their number and specific qualifications are not detailed.

    3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable for this type of device. Usability testing typically involves observing user interactions and collecting feedback against predetermined criteria.

    4. 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 study concerns the physical characteristics and usability of a surgical drill, not AI software or diagnostic image interpretation.

    5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This device is a manual surgical tool and does not involve an algorithm.

    6. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable. "Ground truth" in a diagnostic sense is not relevant here. The ground for the tolerance analysis was the dimensional specifications for compatibility, and for usability, it was the safe and effective operation of the device by users according to predefined usability criteria.

    7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. No training set as this is not a machine learning model.

    8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. No training set.

    Intended Use

    The Lorenz Twist Drills are intended to be used for drilling holes in bone during neurosurgical procedures.

    Device Description

    Biomet Microfixation Twist drills are drill bits which can either be attached to a manual instrument handle or attached to a powered handpiece/drill motor and used to drill holes in bone.

    The subject submission seeks to add the 2.1 x 255mm Drill, 22mm Stop to the Lorenz Twist Drills family to be used in neurosurgical procedures.

    2.1 x 255mm Drill, 22mm Stop manufactured from medical grade stainless steel per ASTM F899. The subject drill bit is intended for single use only and is provided non-sterile, to be sterilized by the end-user prior to use.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (a drill for neurosurgical procedures), not a study report for an AI/ML powered medical device. Therefore, it does not contain the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study details, expert involvement, or ground truth establishment for an AI/ML system.

    The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of a new physical drill (2.1 x 255mm Drill, 22mm Stop) to an existing predicate device (Walter Lorenz Surgical, Inc; Lorenz Twist Drills - K062842). This is done through:

    • Comparison of Indications for Use, Technological Characteristics, and Material: The document explicitly states that the subject and predicate devices are similar in these aspects.
    • Performance Testing: Mechanical tests (Static Cantilever Bend Testing, Static Torsion Testing, and Lifecycle testing) were performed on the subject drill. The conclusion states that "the results have shown them to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device."

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device, details of a study involving human readers, or ground truth establishment based on this document.

    The document describes a traditional medical device submission, not an AI/ML one.
