This document is a 510(k) Summary for the Siemens Medical Solutions ACUSON S1000, S2000, S3000 Diagnostic Ultrasound System. It asserts substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices (K152369) and does not describe acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the typical sense of a novel algorithm with performance metrics.

Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating that the modified systems have the same intended use and technological characteristics as their previously cleared counterparts, and that they conform to established medical device safety standards. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" here refer to conformance with those safety standards and the equivalence of intended use and technological features.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document:

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

The document does not present quantitative acceptance criteria or performance metrics for a novel algorithm. Instead, it asserts equivalence to previously cleared devices and compliance with general safety and performance standards.

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. This submission is for an updated version of a previously cleared device, not a novel AI algorithm requiring a new clinical performance study with a test set of patient data. The non-clinical tests mentioned (e.g., electrical safety, biocompatibility) do not typically involve patient data test sets with provenance.

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. As noted above, this submission relies on demonstrating equivalence to an existing device rather than a clinical performance study with expert-established ground truth.

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

Not applicable. No new clinical performance study was conducted that would require adjudication.

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. No MRMC study was done, as this is a 510(k) for an updated ultrasound system, not an AI-powered diagnostic aide requiring a comparative effectiveness study. The document explicitly states: "Since the S1000, S2000, S3000 systems in this submission use the same technology and principles as existing devices, clinical studies were not required to support substantial equivalence."

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm with standalone performance being evaluated. It's a diagnostic ultrasound system.

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

Not applicable. New clinical ground truth was not established for this 510(k) submission. The safety and performance are based on compliance with standards and equivalence to the predicate device.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. There is no mention of an AI algorithm or a training set in this submission.

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

Not applicable. There is no mention of an AI algorithm or a training set in this submission.

The V5Ms Transesophageal Transducer consists of a gastroscope control housing where nosepiece articulation and transducer rotation are controlled. A flexible transesophageal guide tube with a nosepiece containing the acoustic array extends from one end of the control housing and the system cable/connector extends from the other end. The acoustic array has 64 elements and rotates 180 degrees to provide imaging planes from transverse view to inverse transverse view. Rotation is powered by a motor in the control housing and is controlled by the operator using a switch button on the control housing for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. Nosepiece articulation is achieved by manipulating a vertebrae section adjacent to the nosepiece through a series of control wires attached to knobs on the control housing. The nosepiece can be articulated in both the anterior/posterior and left/right directions.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information, based on the provided document:

Acceptance Criteria and Study Details for V5Ms Transesophageal Transducer

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided 510(k) submission document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or specific device performance metrics in the way one might expect for a new or significantly modified device. Instead, the submission relies heavily on substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (Siemens V5Ms Transesophageal Transducer, K052021). The key "performance data" presented is that "Performance data is not required for this modification as there is no change to software or hardware." This implies that the device is expected to perform identically to its predicate because the changes are limited to patient contact materials.

Therefore, the acceptance criteria are implicitly met by demonstrating that the modifications do not negatively impact the established performance of the predicate device.

Implicit Acceptance Criteria and Reported Performance (Based on Substantial Equivalence):

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

• Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable (N/A). The document explicitly states, "Performance data is not required for this modification as there is no change to software or hardware." Therefore, there was no clinical performance test set used. The evaluation centered on non-clinical tests for biocompatibility and asserting substantial equivalence.
• Data Provenance: N/A for clinical performance data. For biocompatibility testing, the data would typically originate from a laboratory (likely in the USA or a facility that adheres to international standards like ISO). The origin is not specified beyond "Nonclinical tests contained in this submission include biocompatibility testing per ISO10993-1 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation)."

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

• N/A. As no clinical performance test set was conducted, there was no need for experts to establish ground truth. The primary "experts" involved in the submission would be Siemens' own regulatory and engineering teams, and subsequently, FDA reviewers.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• N/A. Since no clinical performance test set was conducted, no adjudication method was used.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

• No. No MRMC study was conducted. The submission is a 510(k) for substantial equivalence based on minor modifications (patient contact materials) to an existing device, not a new clinical effectiveness study.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

• N/A. The device is a diagnostic ultrasound transducer, not an AI algorithm. Therefore, the concept of "standalone performance" in the context of an algorithm does not apply.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

• N/A for clinical effectiveness. For biocompatibility, the "ground truth" is defined by the ISO10993-1 standard for cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation. This involves standardized biological tests.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• N/A. This device is a hardware component (transducer) and does not involve machine learning or AI, and therefore does not have a "training set."

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

• N/A. As there is no training set for this device, this question is not applicable.

This 510(k) submission (K093812) for the Siemens Acuson S2000 Ultrasound System describes the device's technical specifications and intended uses, and asserts substantial equivalence to a predicate device. However, it does not contain information regarding a specific clinical study with acceptance criteria and device performance metrics, as would be expected for a novel AI-powered diagnostic device.

The document primarily focuses on:

• Device Description: Listing safety standards the system meets (e.g., UL 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-37).
• Intended Use: Broad applications for ultrasound imaging across various anatomical regions and patient populations.
• Transducer Information: Detailed tables indicating the modes of operation (A, B, M, PWD, CWD, Color Doppler, Amplitude Doppler, Color Velocity Imaging) and additional features (e.g., tissue harmonic imaging, spatial compounding) cleared for each specific transducer.
• Predicate Device: Stating the Acuson S2000 is substantially equivalent to the Acuson Antares Ultrasound System.

The "Arterial Health Package (AHP) software," which provides "capability to measure Intima Media Thickness and the option to reference normative tables," mentions that these tables "have been validated and published in peer-reviewed studies." However, it does not provide details of an internal study conducted by Siemens to prove that their device's AHP functionality meets specific acceptance criteria based on these peer-reviewed studies.

Therefore, I cannot populate the requested tables and information as a study proving device performance against acceptance criteria is not present in the provided text. The document is a regulatory submission for device clearance based on substantial equivalence, rather than a detailed report of a performance study.
