The provided text is a 510(k) Clearance Letter and 510(k) Summary for a medical device called "Cranial 4Pi Immobilization." This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, as required for FDA 510(k) clearance.
However, the provided text does not contain the detailed information typically found in a clinical study report or a pre-market approval (PMA) submission regarding acceptance criteria, study methodologies, or specific performance metrics with numerical results (like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC) that would be used to "prove the device meets acceptance criteria" for an AI/ML-driven device. The document primarily describes the device's components, indications for use, and a comparison to a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence.
The "Performance Data" section primarily addresses biocompatibility, mechanical verification, dosimetry, compatibility with another system, and mask stability. It does not describe a study to prove AI model performance against clinical acceptance criteria. The "Usability Evaluation" section describes a formative usability study, which is different from a performance study demonstrating clinical effectiveness or accuracy.
Therefore, many of the requested elements (especially those related to AI/ML model performance, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance) cannot be extracted from the provided text. The Cranial 4Pi Immobilization device appears to be a physical immobilization system, not an AI/ML diagnostic or prognostic tool.
Given the nature of the document (510(k) for an immobilization device), the concept of "acceptance criteria for an AI model" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the traditional sense of an AI/ML clinical study does not apply here.
I will answer the questions based on the closest relevant information available in the provided text, and explicitly state where the information is not available or not applicable to the type of device described.
Preamble: Nature of the Device and Submission
The Cranial 4Pi Immobilization device is a physical medical device designed for patient immobilization during radiotherapy and radiosurgery. The 510(k) premarket notification for this device seeks to demonstrate substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device (K202050 - Cranial 4Pi Immobilization). This type of submission typically focuses on comparable intended use, technological characteristics, and safety/performance aspects relevant to the physical device's function (e.g., biocompatibility, mechanical stability, dosimetry interaction).
The provided documentation does not describe an AI/ML-driven component that would require acceptance criteria related to AI model performance (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, AUC) or a study to prove such performance. Therefore, many of the questions asking about AI-specific validation (like ground truth, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, training/test sets for AI) are not applicable to this type of device and submission.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Based on the provided document, specific numerical "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" in the context of an AI/ML model are not available and not applicable. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of a physical immobilization device.
However, the "Performance Data" section lists several tests and their outcomes, which serve as evidence that the device performs as intended for its physical function. These are not acceptance criteria for an AI model.

MapRT is indicated for assisting with planning of radiation therapy by:
- Assessing which combinations of gantry/couch angle and isocentre may result in a collision and which are available to potentially enhance the dose distribution; and
- Predicting when a treatment plan might result in a collision between the treatment machine and the patient or support structures
MapRT is used by radiotherapy professionals during the CT simulation and treatment planning stages of radiotherapy for collision avoidance and facilitating dose optimisation.
MapRT uses two lateral wide-field cameras in simulation to deliver a full 3D model of patients and accessories. This model is then used to calculate a clearance map for every couch (x-axis) and gantry (y-axis) angles. Radiotherapy treatment plans can then be imported automatically to check beams, arcs, and the transition clearance.
The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter for a software device called MapRT, which assists in radiation therapy planning by predicting collisions. However, the document explicitly states: "As with the predicate device, no clinical investigations were performed for MapRT. Verification tests were performed to ensure that the module works as intended and pass/fail criteria were used to verify requirements. Validation testing was performed using summative evaluation techniques per 62366-1:2015/A1:2020. Verification and validation testing passed in all test cases."
This means the submission did not include a study design or performance data in the typical sense of a clinical trial or a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) study to prove the device meets acceptance criteria related to clinical performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or reader improvement. Instead, the clearance relies on:
- Substantial Equivalence: The primary argument for clearance is that MapRT v1.2 is substantially equivalent to its predicate device (MapRT v1.0, K231185). The document highlights that the indications for use, functionality, technological characteristics, and intended users are the same as the predicate.
- Verification and Validation (V&V) Testing: The document mentions that "Verification and validation testing passed in all test cases," indicating that the software meets its design specifications and functions as intended, primarily in terms of software functionality and accuracy of collision prediction within its defined operational parameters.
Given this information, it's not possible to fill out all aspects of your requested response, particularly those related to clinical studies, ground truth establishment, expert consensus, and MRMC studies, as they were explicitly not performed.
Here's an attempt to answer based on the provided document, noting where information is not available:
Device Acceptance Criteria and Study Performance for MapRT
The FDA 510(k) clearance for MapRT v1.2 is primarily based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (MapRT v1.0, K231185) and successful completion of software verification and validation activities. The submission explicitly states that "no clinical investigations were performed for MapRT." Therefore, the acceptance criteria and performance proof are framed in the context of software verification and validation, and functional accuracy rather than clinical efficacy studies.
1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The core functional acceptance criterion is the accuracy of collision prediction.
| Acceptance Criterion (Functional/Technical, as per document) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Accuracy of Gantry Clearance Calculation | Calculates gantry clearance with an accuracy of ± 2cm. |
| Verification & Validation (V&V) Testing | "Verification and validation testing passed in all test cases." This implies meeting all internal design specifications and functional requirements as per 62366-1:2015/A1:2020 for summative evaluation techniques. The device "continues to meet the design specifications and performs as intended." |
| Substantial Equivalence | Demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate device (MapRT v1.0, K231185) in Indications for Use, Intended Users, Contraindications, Functionality, Technology, Input/Output, and Design (with minor non-safety impacting GUI differences). |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of patient data or clinical cases. The performance data mentioned refer to software verification and validation tests, which would involve a set of test cases designed to cover various scenarios and functional requirements. The specific number or nature of these test cases is not detailed.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable for a clinical test set, as no clinical investigations were performed. The V&V testing would likely involve simulated data, synthetic models, or potentially anonymized patient models used for testing collision detection scenarios. The provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) of such test data is not provided.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for Test Set and Their Qualifications
Not applicable. Since no clinical investigations were performed, there was no clinical "ground truth" established by experts in the context of patient outcomes or image interpretation. The ground truth for functional testing of collision prediction would be derived from precise engineering specifications and physical measurements, likely validated internally by the manufacturer's engineering team.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable, as no clinical test set requiring expert adjudication was used.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. The document explicitly states: "As with the predicate device, no clinical investigations were performed for MapRT." Therefore, no MRMC study was conducted to compare human reader performance with or without AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study Was Done
Yes, in essence. The stated "accuracy of ± 2cm" for gantry clearance calculation and the passing of "all test cases" in verification and validation testing refer to the isolated performance of the MapRT algorithm in predicting collisions and calculating clearance. This implies an evaluation of the algorithm's functional accuracy independent of human interaction beyond inputting treatment plans. However, the details of how this accuracy was measured (e.g., against a gold standard derived from physical models or high-precision simulations) are not provided in this summary.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For the accuracy of gantry clearance calculation (± 2cm), the ground truth would typically be established through:
- Precise engineering specifications and measurements of physical models of the treatment machine, patient, and support structures.
- High-fidelity simulation data where collision events and clearances can be precisely calculated geometrically.
It is not based on expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data, as these are typically associated with clinical diagnostic or prognostic devices.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. MapRT is a software device that simulates radiation treatment plans and predicts collisions based on geometric models and calculations. There is no indication that it is an AI/Machine Learning model that requires a "training set" of data in the conventional sense (e.g., for image classification or pattern recognition). Its "knowledge" of collision mechanics and geometries comes from programmed rules and pre-loaded models (e.g., LiDAR scans or 3D CAD models of equipment), not from learning from a dataset.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for an AI/ML model for MapRT based on the provided information.

Mobius3D software is used for quality assurance, treatment plan verification, and patient alignment and anatomy analysis in radiation therapy. It calculates radiation dose three dimensionally in a representation of a patient or a phantom. The calculation is based on read-in treatment plans that are initially calculated by a treatment planning system, and may additionally be based on external measurements of radiation fields from other sources such as linac delivery log data. Patient alignment and anatomy analysis is based on read-in treatment planning images (such as computed tomography) and read-in daily treatment images (such as registered cone beam computed tomography).
Mobius3D is not a treatment planning system. It is to be used only by trained radiation oncology personnel as a quality assurance tool.
Mobius3D is a software product used within a radiation therapy clinic for quality assurance and treatment plan verification. It is important to note that while Mobius3D operates in the field of radiation therapy, it is neither a radiation delivery device (e.g. a linear accelerator), nor is it a Treatment Planning System (TPS). Mobius3D cannot design or transmit instructions to a delivery device, nor does it control any other medical device. Mobius3D is an analysis tool meant solely for quality assurance (QA) purposes when used by trained medical professionals. Being a software only QA tool, Mobius3D never comes into contact with patients.
It appears there's a misunderstanding based on the provided document. The request asks for acceptance criteria and a study that proves the device meets those criteria, including specifics like sample sizes, expert qualifications, and ground truth establishment.
However, the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for Mobius3D (4.1) does not contain the detailed performance study results that would prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria.
The 510(k) summary (pages 5-7) primarily discusses:
- Device Description and Intended Use: What Mobius3D is and what it's used for (QA, treatment plan verification, patient alignment).
- Comparison to Predicate Device: How Mobius3D 4.1 differs from 4.0.
- Summary of Performance Testing (Non-Clinical):
- Mentions software verification and validation, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.
- Highlights MLC Modelling Accuracy testing comparing different Mobius3D versions, measurements, and a Treatment Planning System (Eclipse TPS 16.1).
- States that "studies and reviews have been performed to assess the accuracy of newly introduced features and modifications" for Rapid Arc Dynamic Support and MLC Tongue and Groove Modelling.
- Notes conformance to cybersecurity and interoperability requirements.
- Crucially, it explicitly states: "No animal studies or clinical tests have been included in this pre-market submission." This means there isn't a human-in-the-loop study or a study directly demonstrating clinical performance against ground truth in a clinical setting.
- Use of Consensus Standards: A list of standards the device's design and evaluation conform to.
- Determination of Substantial Equivalence: Varian's conclusion that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
Therefore, many of the specific details requested (Table of acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test sets, number/qualifications of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC study, standalone performance, type of ground truth, training set sample size/ground truth establishment) are NOT present in this 510(k) clearance letter.
The letter focuses on the regulatory submission process and the FDA's determination of substantial equivalence based on the provided non-clinical testing and comparison to a predicate device. It doesn't typically include the full, detailed study reports with precise performance metrics and ground truth methodologies. Such details would typically be found in the more extensive technical documentation submitted by the manufacturer to the FDA, but they are summarized at a high level in the public 510(k) summary.
In summary, based only on the provided text, I cannot provide the detailed information requested regarding the specific acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria in the format you've requested. The document indicates non-clinical software testing and accuracy assessments were performed but does not provide the specific metrics or study design details for clinical performance proof.

The Masks which do not support the positioning of the shoulders are termed 'head only' masks. Shoulder Profile and Shim accessories are available.
The provided document does not detail specific acceptance criteria or an associated study with quantitative results for the device's performance against said criteria. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through comparisons of design, materials, technological characteristics, and indications for use.
The document states:
- "Non-clinical performance testing was completed to ensure that the devices fulfilled the defined requirements."
- "Clinical testing was performed to ensure that the use of the devices supports the achievement of submillimeter positional accuracy."
- "In addition, attenuation measurements were taken, and water equivalence measurements were calculated, for the devices."
- "The testing confirmed that the new devices are as safe and effective as the predicate devices."
However, it lacks the specific numerical acceptance criteria for these tests (e.g., "positional accuracy must be within X mm") and the reported performance values from these tests. It also does not provide details on the study design for the "non-clinical performance testing" or "clinical testing," such as sample size, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, or adjudication methods.
Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table or answer the specific questions about sample size, data provenance, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details. This information is not present in the provided text.

With radiotherapy equipment (Medical Linac, CT-Sim), it is used for patient positioning before treatment and continuous monitoring of patients during treatment, and can also be used to track patients' breathing mode (including DIBH, EEBH, 4DCT three breathing modes), in order to implement image acquisition synchronized with breathing and radiation therapy.
Klarity SGRT system offers a dedicated non-irradiating and non-invasive surface guided radiation therapy solution. SGRT system includes three main application modules: patient positioning, treatment (motion) monitoring and respiratory gating.
With the patient positioning module, the SGRT system continuously senses the 3D patient body surface and compares it with the prerecorded reference surface by 3D image registration: The calculated 6 degree-of-freedom positioning deviations are visualized and sent to the positioning couch, to ensure a consistent and efficient inter-session patient setup/positioning, both manually and automated.
With the treatment (motion) monitoring module, the SGRT system monitors the patient's surface in real-time throughout the treatment session. Once the body part surface exceeds the predefined tolerance, the system will automatically alert the therapist and turnoff the beam immediately.
With the respiratory gating module, the system keeps tracking the patient's respiratory movements in real-time. During the treatment delivery, this functionality is used to maximize the protection of organs-at-risk; And in CT room, this functionality is used to make the 4DCT imaging best adapt to the patient's breathing in order to minimize the 4DCT imaging artifacts caused by the respiratory motion.
Klarity SGRT system mainly consists of advanced software. PC workstation, one or three 3D cameras and calibration tools. SGRT system provides two models, ARSG-E1A and ARSG-E3A.

The document does not describe any specific adjudication method for a test set, as no clinical study involving human judgment is detailed.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The document explicitly states: "The clinical test is not applicable, there's no clinical data."
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Yes, numerous standalone performance tests were conducted. The document states: "Non-clinical tests were conducted to verify that the Klarity SGRT System (ARSG-E1A, ARSG-E3A) meets all design specifications...". This includes specific performance metrics like measurement accuracy, reproducibility, and respiratory gating accuracy. These tests inherently evaluate the algorithm's performance in a standalone manner, separate from human intervention in a clinical setting.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For the non-clinical performance tests, the "ground truth" would be established by precise physical measurements and reference systems used during these engineering and performance verification tests. This is not derived from expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data, but rather from direct physical measurement.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not provide information about the sample size for a training set. As the device is referred to as "advanced software" and performs tasks like 3D image registration and real-time motion monitoring, it likely involves algorithms that would require training data, but details are not disclosed.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
The document does not provide information on how the ground truth for any potential training set was established.

IDENTIFY is indicated for adult patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment simulation and/or delivery. IDENTIFY is indicated for positioning of patients, and for monitoring patient motion including respiratory patterns. It allows for data output to radiotherapy devices to synchronize image acquisition or treatment delivery with the acquired motion information.
IDENTIFY is a system for motion monitoring during radiotherapy treatment simulation and delivery. It incorporates patient safety, quality, and workflow efficiency. Its high precision SGRT cameras support proper patient positioning and enable to monitor the patient's respiratory motion and to detect intra-fraction patient position changes during the treatment.
The provided text does not contain detailed information about specific acceptance criteria or a dedicated study proving the device meets these criteria with reported performance metrics. The document is primarily a 510(k) summary for the IDENTIFY (4.0) device, outlining its intended use, description, and non-clinical testing for substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill all parts of your request. I can, however, extract information about what non-clinical testing was conducted, which suggests certain underlying acceptance criteria related to safety, effectiveness, and performance against standards.
Here's what can be inferred and stated based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Study Information (Based on Inferred Information from Non-Clinical Testing Section):
The document does not present a table of explicit acceptance criteria with reported device performance in the format requested. Instead, it describes general compliance with standards and internal testing to ensure safety, effectiveness, and performance.
Inferred Acceptance Criteria from Non-Clinical Testing:
While not explicitly listed as a table of "acceptance criteria," the non-clinical testing section implies the device needed to meet the following:
- Conformance to Applicable Requirements Specifications: The device must meet its defined functional and performance specifications.
- Hazard Safeguards Functioning Properly: Safety mechanisms must work as intended.
- Software Compliance: Adherence to FDA's "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions" guidance, specifically for a "major" level of concern.
- Electrical Safety: Compliance with IEC 60601-1 standards.
- Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Compliance with IEC 60601-1-2 standard.
- Quality Management System: Adherence to ISO 13485.
- Risk Management: Adherence to ISO 14971.
- No Unresolved Anomalies: No Discrepancy Reports (DRs) with "Safety Intolerable" or "Customer Intolerable" priority remaining.
- Performance at least as well as Predicate Device: The device performs comparably in terms of safety and effectiveness to the IDENTIFY (K230576).
Reported Device Performance:
The document states: "Test results showed conformance to applicable requirements specifications and assured hazard safeguards functioned properly." And "The outcome was that the product conformed to the defined user needs and intended uses and that there were no DRs (discrepancy reports/Unresolved Anomalies) remaining which had a priority of Safety Intolerable or Customer Intolerable (applicable to the US)."
Missing Information:
The document does not provide the following details that would be typically found in a clinical study report or a more detailed performance evaluation:
- A specific table of quantitative acceptance criteria and corresponding numerical performance results.
- Details on a specific "study" with a test set, sample sizes for test or training sets, data provenance, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment methods for a clinical or performance evaluation.
- Information on MRMC studies or a human-in-the-loop effect size.
- Information on standalone algorithm performance.
Summary of Available Information from the Text:
-
A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
- Acceptance Criteria (Inferred): Conformance to requirements, proper functioning of hazard safeguards, compliance with specific software guidances (FDA Software Functions guidance, "major" level of concern), electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2), Quality Management (ISO 13485), Risk Management (ISO 14971), and absence of critical unresolved anomalies (Safety Intolerable or Customer Intolerable DRs). Performance at least as well as the predicate device.
- Reported Device Performance: "Test results showed conformance to applicable requirements specifications and assured hazard safeguards functioned properly." "The outcome was that the product conformed to the defined user needs and intended uses and that there were no DRs (discrepancy reports/Unresolved Anomalies) remaining which had a priority of Safety Intolerable or Customer Intolerable (applicable to the US)."
-
Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Not provided. The document refers to "hardware and software verification and validation testing" but does not specify sample sizes for a test set of patient data or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). This often implies bench testing and software verification without a dedicated clinical performance study.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not provided. This information would be relevant for a clinical performance study using expert labels, which isn't detailed here.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not provided.
-
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 provided. The document focuses on the device's own performance and substantial equivalence, not an MRMC study with human readers.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- The "Non-clinical Testing" section refers to "hardware and software verification and validation testing," implying performance of the device's functions, which would be "standalone" in nature. However, specific metrics or a dedicated "standalone study" in terms of clinical performance are not detailed. It's more about technical compliance.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Not specified as a formal ground truth for a clinical dataset. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical testing likely refers to engineering specifications, established safety standards, and validated software requirements.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not provided. Training set information is relevant for AI/ML devices, but IDENTIFY is described as a "system for motion monitoring," not explicitly an AI/ML diagnostic or predictive device in the traditional sense that would require a large training dataset with labeled ground truth of patient outcomes.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable/Not provided. As above, a specific training set with associated ground truth is not detailed, as this appears to be a traditional medical device verification and validation rather than an AI/ML model for clinical decision support.
