The provided text is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for two medical device accessories: the Suction Valve (MAJ-1443) and the Air/Water Valve (MAJ-1444). These devices are classified as endoscopic accessories.
Based on the information provided, the study conducted to prove the device meets acceptance criteria focused on bench testing to demonstrate the functionality of reusable accessories, rather than a clinical study involving human patients, AI integration, or multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) studies.
Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to your request:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document states: "The following performance bench tests were conducted. All test samples passed pre-defined acceptance criteria." However, it does not provide the specific numerical acceptance criteria or the quantitative reported performance for each test. It only lists the types of tests performed.
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Suction Valve MAJ-1443 | All test samples passed pre-defined acceptance criteria. |
- Endoscope compatibility | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
- Suction rate | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
- Balloon suction rate | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
- Leakage | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
- Depression Force | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
- Composite Durability | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
Air/Water Valve MAJ-1444 | All test samples passed pre-defined acceptance criteria. |
- Endoscope compatibility | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
- Air flow rate | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
- Water flow rate | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
- Balloon water rate | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
- Leakage | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
- Depression Force | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
- Composite Durability | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
- Microbiological Evaluation of Backflow Prevention | (Specific criteria and performance not detailed) |
Therefore, while the document confirms that acceptance criteria were predefined and met, the specific details of these criteria and the quantitative performance results are not included in this FDA clearance letter. This information would typically be found in the full 510(k) submission.
Regarding the other points of your request, much of the requested information (especially concerning AI, human readers, ground truth establishment for AI models, and large-scale clinical studies) is not applicable to this particular device and its clearance.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size for Test Set: The document simply states "Test samples were final, finished devices." It does not specify the number of samples tested for each performance bench test.
- Data Provenance: The tests were "bench testing" performed by Olympus. The data provenance is laboratory/bench data generated internally for regulatory submission. It is not patient data, and therefore, concepts like "country of origin of the data" or "retrospective/prospective" study design in a clinical sense do not apply.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not Applicable. For a device like an endoscope valve, the "ground truth" for its performance is typically established through engineering specifications, material science, and functional testing as defined by recognized standards and internal quality control. This does not involve expert readers establishing ground truth on medical images or clinical outcomes.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not Applicable. Adjudication methods are relevant for studies where human interpretation of data (e.g., medical images) is involved and consensus is needed. For bench testing of mechanical or functional properties, the "adjudication" is based on objective measurements against engineering specifications.
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:
- No. This was not an AI-enabled device. The document describes a traditional medical device accessory (valves for endoscopes). MRMC studies are specific to evaluating diagnostic performance, often of AI algorithms assisting human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No. This device is not an algorithm. It's a physical accessory; therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not applicable.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For these devices, the "ground truth" is defined by engineering specifications and functional requirements (e.g., specific flow rates, suction pressures, resistance to leakage, durability under repeated use, compatibility with specified endoscopes). Successful performance means meeting these pre-defined technical criteria. There is no biological "ground truth" like pathology for these mechanical accessories.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device; hence, there is no "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not Applicable. Since there is no training set, no ground truth was established for it.
In summary: The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter pertains to reusable endoscope valves. The clearance was based on bench testing demonstrating the functional performance and durability of the devices. It is a traditional medical device clearance and does not involve AI, clinical efficacy studies with human participants, or complex ground truth establishment methods typical for AI or diagnostic imaging devices. The specific quantitative acceptance criteria and detailed performance results from these bench tests are not present in this summary document but would be part of the full 510(k) submission.

Packaging | ||
Pouch Seal – Tensile Testing | Force to open sealed pouch shall be 0.57 lbs or greater | Pass |
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 states that "Identical testing was conducted on both the predicate (cleared) 1 year version of the device and proposed 3 year shelf life version of the device." It then clarifies, "The three year shelf life summary is below." However, the specific sample size (N) for each test is not provided. The testing is physical/mechanical in nature, not data-driven in the sense of patient data. Therefore, "country of origin of the data" or "retrospective/prospective" are not applicable.
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)
This is not applicable as the document describes non-clinical performance testing of a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm requiring expert ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This is not applicable for the same reason as point 3.
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 is not applicable as the document is not about an AI-assisted device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This is not applicable as the document is not about an AI algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
This is not applicable in the context of AI/ML. For this mechanical device, the "ground truth" for each test is a direct measurement against a predefined physical, mechanical, or functional standard (e.g., does it leak? does the spring compress within range?).
8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable as the document does not describe an AI/ML device with a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable as the document does not describe an AI/ML device with a training set or ground truth in that context.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for each non-clinical performance test. It only mentions that "non-clinical performance testing was performed."
The data provenance is from non-clinical performance testing. There is no indication of human data, so country of origin and retrospective/prospective classification are not applicable in this context. These are laboratory/engineering tests performed by the manufacturer.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This information is not applicable. The performance tests are engineering and materials science tests, not clinical evaluations requiring expert interpretation for ground truth. The "ground truth" for these tests would be objective measurements against established technical specifications or predicate device performance.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not applicable as the studies were non-clinical performance tests, not clinical evaluations requiring adjudication of subjective assessments. The results would be objective measurements.
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
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a single-use valve/connector for endoscopes, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This information is not applicable. The device is a mechanical accessory, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" for these non-clinical performance tests would be objective measurements against established technical specifications or the performance of the legally marketed predicate devices. For example, a flow rate test would have a specified minimum/maximum flow, or a leak test would have a maximum allowable leak rate. Biocompatibility utilized ISO 10993 standards.
8. The sample size for the training set

ENDORAIL is an accessory to an endoscope and is intended to ensure positioning of a standard endoscope (i.e. an endoscope with an instrument channel that is at least 3.7mm diameter and is used for standard endoscopic visualization) during endoscopy of the large intestine.
ENDORAIL is a colonoscopy add-on device developed to be used without any modification to colonoscopes and peripheral devices currently utilized. It is an accessory for colonoscopy aimed at facilitating progression of the endoscope in the large intestine. The device works as a magnetic anchor that allows the operator to guide the colonoscope and to straighten colon curves and loops. ENDORAIL includes a Balloon Guide that can be introduced, when needed, through the endoscope instrument channel during the colonoscopy, if this procedure becomes challenging. The system does not require to be premounted and does not interfere with the normal colon examination process. The Balloon Guide is advanced beyond the colonoscope tip where the balloon is filled with a ferromagnetic fluid and magnetically anchored to a magnetic Handpiece placed on the patient's abdomen. Once anchored, the colonoscope can be easily straightened and guided along the device, allowing a fast and safe inspection of the entire colon. Once the challenging segment of the colon is resolved, or the colonoscopy procedure is completed, the Balloon Guide can be retrieved.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria (Primary Endpoints) | Reported Device Performance (ENDORAIL) |
---|---|
Efficacy: Colonoscopy incompletion rate ≤ 10% in long-lasting colonoscopies. | 0% colonoscopy incompletion rate. All 100% of patients successfully completed the colonoscopy. |
Safety: No increase in colonoscopy serious adverse events (SAEs) (i.e., absence of any device-related SAEs). | No AE/SAE, no abnormal findings, and no overall change in the health status of any patient undergoing colonoscopy with ENDORAIL were observed in the study. |
