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, "No clinical tests were performed." Therefore, there is no specific patient-based test set or data provenance to report in this context. The evaluation was based on non-clinical tests (safety, software validation, performance characteristic comparisons).
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 no clinical tests were performed and thus no "ground truth" was established from patient data. The ground truth for engineering and system performance would be defined by the relevant standards and specifications.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable, as no clinical tests were performed.
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. This submission is for an ultrasound system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, and no MRMC study was mentioned or performed.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-only device. The submission focuses on the ultrasound system and its integrated features.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for this submission is based on adherence to recognized medical device safety standards (e.g., IEC, NEMA, ETSI standards) and the established performance and safety profiles of the predicate devices. For features like "Auto NT" and "Auto EF," the ground truth is their functional equivalence to previously cleared implementations on other Esaote models.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable, as this is not a machine learning device that requires a training set in the typical sense. The software validation was performed as a part of a system function test.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as no training set for a machine learning model was used. Software validation involved testing functions and confirming their operation with traceability of anomalies, likely against predefined functional specifications and requirements.

Summary of what is provided from the text:
The submission for the Esaote 6400 Ultrasound System (MyLabX6, MyLabX7) is a 510(k) Premarket Notification, which aims to demonstrate that a new device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device. This type of submission generally relies on demonstrating similar technological characteristics and indications for use, and adherence to recognized performance and safety standards, rather than conducting new, elaborate clinical performance studies with specific acceptance criteria and ground truth validation for novel claims.
The document explicitly states: "No clinical tests were performed." This clarifies that the submission did not include studies with acceptance criteria related to clinical performance, a test set, expert ground truth, or MRMC studies.
The justification for substantial equivalence relies on:
- Predicate Devices: Primary predicate K161359 (6400 – MyLabSeven), and reference predicates K183191 (6420 - MyLabX5) and K173291 (6440 – MyLab9).
- Technological Characteristics: The updated devices (MyLabX6 and MyLabX7) employ the "same fundamental technological characteristics" as the predicate device (Esaote 6400 model cleared via K142008 and K161359). New capabilities (Auto NT, MicroV, QPack, 4D STIC, management of new probes, full screen option, Windows 10 OS) are stated to be "identical" to those already cleared in other Esaote models (6440 and 6420 via K173291 and K183191).
- Non-Clinical Tests: Evaluation for acoustic output, biocompatibility, cleaning and disinfection effectiveness, thermal, electrical, electromagnetic, and mechanical safety, conforming to standards such as IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-37, NEMA UD-2, and NEMA UD-3, among others.
- Indications for Use: The indications for use are consistent with those of previously cleared devices.
Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context are interpreted as the regulatory requirement to demonstrate substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, primarily through engineering and safety testing, and showing that any new features are identical to those already cleared.

The provided text details a 510(k) premarket notification for the Esaote 7400 Ultrasound System, not an AI/ML medical device. Therefore, the traditional acceptance criteria and study designs typically associated with proving the performance of AI/ML devices (e.g., specific metrics like sensitivity/specificity, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies) are not applicable here.
The 510(k) submission for the Esaote 7400 Ultrasound System (K190447) focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, primarily through technological characteristics and adherence to established medical device safety and performance standards.
Here's how the provided information relates to the request, reinterpreting "acceptance criteria" and "study" in the context of a traditional medical device 510(k):
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
In the context of a 510(k) for a conventional ultrasound system, the "acceptance criteria" are compliance with relevant safety and performance standards, and demonstrating that the new device's technological characteristics are substantially equivalent to the predicate. Device performance is typically proven through a suite of non-clinical tests.
Acceptance Criteria (in 510(k) Context) | Reported Device Performance (as per submission) |
---|---|
Safety and Performance Standards Compliance: | The upgraded 7400 (MyLabOmega) system has been evaluated for: |
- Acoustic output
- Biocompatibility
- Cleaning and disinfection effectiveness
- Thermal, electrical, electromagnetic, and mechanical safety
And found to conform to: - IEC 60601-1
- IEC 60601-1-2
- IEC 60601-2-37
- NEMA UD-3 (Standard for Real Time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment)
- NEMA UD-2 (Acoustic Output Measurement Standard for Diagnostic Ultrasound) |
| Technological Equivalence to Predicate Devices: | The 7400 upgrade employs the same fundamental technological characteristics as its predicate devices. - The upgraded system is substantially equivalent to Esaote 7400 (cleared via K111302 and K161359).
- Clinical uses from Esaote 7400 (K142008) and Esaote 6440 (K173291) are unchanged.
- Specific new features (Auto NT, Auto EF, Qpack, probes L 4-15 and P 1-5 management, Full screen mode, Windows 10 OS) are identical to those already cleared on the Esaote 6440 (K173291). |
| Manufacturing Quality System: | The 7400 new version is manufactured under an ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified quality system. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
For this type of device (ultrasound system), the "test set" is not a dataset of images for an algorithm, but rather the device itself undergoing a series of engineering and performance verification tests. The document does not specify a "sample size" in the conventional sense of patient data.
- Test Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of an AI/ML algorithm. The "sample" is the physical device being tested against engineering specifications and regulatory standards.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable for an AI/ML algorithm test set. The data presented are engineering test results and compliance assessments. The document mentions previous clearances (K111302, K132231, K132466, K142008, K161359, K173291), indicating an iterative development and clearance process, but not specifically data provenance for an algorithm. This is a submission for a hardware system update.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Number of Experts/Qualifications for Ground Truth: Not applicable. Ground truth, in the context of AI/ML, refers to expert-labeled data used to train and validate models. For a conventional ultrasound system, performance is assessed through objective engineering measurements and compliance testing, not through expert reading of images in a studies designed for AI model evaluation.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable. This concept belongs to the evaluation of AI/ML algorithms where multiple readers might disagree on a diagnosis, requiring an adjudication process to establish definitive ground truth. For an ultrasound system, performance is assessed against technical specifications and established standards, which don't typically involve reader 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:
- MRMC Study: No, an MRMC study was not done, and it's not relevant for this type of device submission. This study design is specifically for evaluating the impact of AI on human reader performance. This submission is for the ultrasound system itself, not an integrated AI-powered diagnostic tool requiring such a study for its regulatory clearance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Standalone Performance: Not applicable. The device is an ultrasound system, which is inherently a human-in-the-loop diagnostic tool. The document does not describe any "algorithm only" component being evaluated in a standalone manner. The "options" mentioned (Auto NT, MicroV, Qpack, 4D Stic) are features of the ultrasound system, not independent AI algorithms with their own performance metrics being evaluated in isolation.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Type of Ground Truth: Not applicable in the AI/ML sense. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is compliance with international and national safety and performance standards (e.g., IEC, NEMA) and demonstrating that its technological changes do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to predicate devices. This involves objective engineering measurements and verification, not diagnostic ground truth from medical cases.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Training Set Sample Size: Not applicable. This refers to the data used to train an AI/ML model, which is not the subject of this 510(k) submission.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Training Set Ground Truth Establishment: Not applicable, as there is no mention of an AI/ML training set in the provided document.
In summary: The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a diagnostic ultrasound system, not an AI/ML medical device. Therefore, the criteria and study types requested in the prompt, which are standard for AI/ML device evaluations (e.g., test sets, training sets, ground truth, MRMC studies), are not present or applicable here. The focus of this 510(k) is on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and adherence to established safety and performance standards for ultrasound equipment through non-clinical (engineering) testing.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document does not explicitly present acceptance criteria in terms of quantitative performance metrics, such as sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy, for the device's diagnostic capabilities. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied through establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices and conformance to recognized safety standards. The reported device performance is therefore based on its similarity to the cleared predicates and its adherence to non-clinical safety requirements.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Substantial Equivalence and Standards Conformance)
Category | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
Diagnostic Features | Clinical uses (indications for use) must be substantially equivalent to previously cleared predicate devices (Esaote 6420 via K161168 and Esaote 6440 via K173291), ensuring no change in intended diagnostic capabilities for various clinical applications (Fetal, Abdominal, Pediatric, Small organs, etc.). | The upgraded 6420 system combines cleared features of both the 6440 and 6420 systems. The clinical uses are stated to have not changed from the previously cleared K161168 and K173291 devices. Specific new capabilities added (Strain 2D, Auto NT, Auto EF, L 4-15 probe management, Full screen option, Windows 10 OS) are stated to be identical to those found in the Esaote 6440 (K173291). Many tables list "P" (Previously cleared by FDA) for various clinical applications and modes on the 6420 and associated probes, reinforcing that the device performance for these applications aligns with prior clearances. Examples include various imaging modes (B, M, PWD, Color Doppler, etc.) for applications like Abdominal, Pediatric, Small Organs, Peripheral Vascular, Musculo-skeletal. |
Technological Characteristics | Fundamental technological characteristics must be the same as predicate devices. New features must be identical to those cleared in predicate devices. | The upgraded 6420 employs the "same fundamental technological characteristics" as its predicate devices. The added features (Strain 2D, Auto NT option, Auto EF option, L 4-15 probe management, Full screen option, Windows 10 OS) are explicitly stated to be "identical to those of Esaote 6440 model, cleared via K173291." |
Safety and Performance Standards | Conformance to recognized medical device safety standards, including acoustic output, biocompatibility, cleaning/disinfection effectiveness, and thermal, electromagnetic, and mechanical safety. | The upgraded 6420 system was evaluated and found to conform to: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-37, NEMA UD-3, and NEMA UD-2. The device is manufactured under an ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified quality system. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document explicitly states: "No clinical tests were performed." Therefore, there is no sample size for a test set and no data provenance from clinical studies. The demonstration of performance relies on substantial equivalence to existing devices and non-clinical evaluations.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
Since "No clinical tests were performed," there were no experts used to establish ground truth for a clinical test set.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable, as "No clinical tests were performed."
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, as "No clinical tests were performed" and this device is an ultrasound system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool as described. The document does not mention any AI components or human-in-the-loop performance studies.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable, as this is an ultrasound imaging system, not a standalone algorithm. The performance evaluation is based on the characteristics of the hardware and software features being substantially equivalent to predicates.
7. The type of ground truth used:
Given the statement "No clinical tests were performed," there was no clinical ground truth established through expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data. The "ground truth" for this 510(k) submission is effectively the established performance and safety profiles of the predicate devices. The submission asserts that the upgraded device's features and overall performance are analogous to these already cleared devices, and non-clinical testing confirms adherence to relevant technical standards.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. As "No clinical tests were performed" and the device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set in the conventional sense, there is no mention of a training set or its size. The upgrades primarily involve hardware and software features already present in other cleared devices.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable for the same reasons as #8.
