The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Intraosseous Infusion Needles does not contain the detailed information necessary to answer most of the questions you've posed regarding acceptance criteria and study particulars.
This document focuses on justifying "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, primarily by demonstrating that changes to the sterilization process do not negatively impact safety or effectiveness. It explicitly states that "No additional performance testing was conducted because the design of the subject device is identical to the predicate, K160887."
Therefore, I can only provide limited information based on the text.
Here's what can be inferred and what cannot:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state acceptance criteria or performance metrics for the device's primary function (intraosseous infusion). The "performance testing" described is related only to the sterilization process.
Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criteria (from document) | Reported Device Performance (from document) |
---|---|---|
Sterilization Efficacy | Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of $10^{-6}$ | Not explicitly stated as "met" an acceptance criterion, but the Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Performance Qualification was conducted to validate changes to the sterilization cycle parameters. This implies the SAL of $10^{-6}$ was achieved with the new process. |
Residuals | Compliance with ISO 10993-7 for Ethylene Oxide (EO) and Ethylene Chlorohydrin (ECH) residuals | Evaluation of EO and ECH residuals was conducted, implying compliance. |
Biocompatibility | Identical to predicate in formulation, processing, sterilization method, geometry, and no other chemicals added. | Device is identical to the predicate in these aspects, addressing biocompatibility by proxy with the predicate. |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Test Set Sample Size: Not specified for any performance testing related to the device's functional use or even for the sterilization validation beyond general statements of "performance testing was conducted."
- Data Provenance: Not specified.
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. The document does not describe studies requiring expert ground truth for device performance related to patient outcomes or imaging. The testing focuses on sterilization process validation.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. The document does not describe studies requiring 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. This device is a physical medical needle, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a physical medical needle, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For the sterilization validation, the "ground truth" would be objective laboratory measurements and adherence to international standards (e.g., ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135 and ISO 10993-7) for sterility and residuals. It's not related to clinical "ground truth" like pathology or outcomes.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI model requiring a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable.

This submission is new design primarily involve changes to addition of new needle lengths and specifications.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Promisemed Safety Huber Needles details a medical device that is a physical product (a needle), not a software-based AI/ML medical device. Therefore, the information requested about acceptance criteria and studies related to AI/ML device performance (e.g., sample size for test sets, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) does not apply to this specific device.
The 510(k) submission for the Promisemed Safety Huber Needles focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K243332) primarily through non-clinical performance testing for physical and mechanical properties, and a comparison of technological characteristics.
Here's a breakdown of the relevant information provided in the document:
Device Description and Purpose:
The Promisemed Safety Huber Needle is a non-coring intravascular infusion set with a right-angle needle and a manually activated needle-stick prevention safety mechanism. It is used to access surgically implanted vascular ports and, for the high-pressure resistant model, can be used for high-pressure injection of contrast media for CT imaging. It is for adult use only.
Nature of This Submission:
This 510(k) submission is for a device modification that primarily involves:
- Addition of new needle lengths (16mm, 17mm, 20mm) for Type D and Type E needles.
- Addition of a new specification: "without lubrication" for the needle tip.
The manufacturer asserts that these changes "do not introduce new risks as the fundamental technology and operation remain the same" and that the device remains "substantially equivalent" to its predicate device.
Acceptance Criteria and Study for This Device:
Since this is a physical medical device and not an AI/ML system, the "acceptance criteria" are based on meeting established performance specifications and international standards for hypodermic needles and infusion sets. The "study" that proves the device meets these criteria is the suite of non-clinical (bench) tests performed.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document lists the types of tests performed and the standards they adhere to, implying that the acceptance criteria are successful completion according to these standards. It does not provide specific quantitative acceptance thresholds (e.g., "puncture force must be X-Y Newtons") nor the raw performance data, but rather states that "All verification and validation tests passed without deviations."
No. | Test Item | Standard | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|---|
1. | Appearance and cleanliness | ISO 7864:2016 | Passed without deviations. Conforms to specified appearance and cleanliness requirements. |
2. | Dimension of needle tube | ISO 9626:2016 | Passed without deviations. Conforms to specified dimensional tolerances. |
3. | Needle point | ISO 7864:2016 | Passed without deviations. Conforms to specified needle point characteristics. |
4. | Fragment | ASTM F3212-16 | Passed without deviations. No fragments detected. |
5. | Needle sheath and cap | / (Internal) | Passed without deviations. Conforms to specified design and functionality. |
6. | Puncture force of needle | ISO 7864:2016 | Passed without deviations. Conforms to specified puncture force requirements. |
Overall | Verification & Validation | Various / Internal | All verification and validation tests passed without deviations, confirming that the subjective device meet the necessary design specifications and regulatory requirements. The tests demonstrated that the product modifications did not introduce any new risks related to safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate device. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated in the 510(k) summary. For physical device performance testing, sample sizes are typically determined by statistical methods based on specified confidence levels or are prescribed by the testing standards themselves (e.g., a certain number of units per lot).
- Data Provenance: The tests were conducted by Promisemed Hangzhou Meditech Co., Ltd. in China ("Promisemed Hangzhou Meditech Co., Ltd. completed the following non-clinical tests"). This is a retrospective collection of data for the purpose of the 510(k) submission.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- N/A. This concept applies to AI/ML device ground truth establishment, often involving clinical image interpretation. For a physical device like a needle, "ground truth" is established by adherence to engineering specifications and international standards, tested by qualified engineers and technicians using calibrated equipment.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- N/A. This concept relates to human expert consensus in clinical data annotation for AI/ML validation. Physical device testing relies on objective measurements against defined criteria.
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:
- N/A. An MRMC study is for evaluating the impact of AI assistance on human diagnostic performance. This device is a physical medical instrument, not an AI software.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- N/A. This pertains to AI algorithm performance. The device here is a standalone physical needle.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- Engineering Specifications and International Standards: For a physical device, "ground truth" is adherence to predefined engineering specifications (e.g., dimensions, material properties, force resistance) and compliance with internationally recognized standards (like ISO 7864, ISO 9626, ASTM F3212). The testing confirms that the device's physical properties and functionality meet these established objective benchmarks.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- N/A. This concept is relevant for AI/ML model development. This device does not involve a "training set" in the computational sense.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- N/A. As above, this applies to AI/ML.
Summary of Key Takeaways from the Document:
The 510(k) submission successfully demonstrated substantial equivalence by confirming through non-clinical testing that the modified Promisemed Safety Huber Needles:
- Maintain the same intended use, technological characteristics, and principle of operation as the predicate device.
- The added needle lengths and the "without lubrication" option do not introduce new safety or effectiveness risks.
- All required performance tests (appearance, dimensions, needle point, fragment, sheath/cap, puncture force) passed without deviations, confirming adherence to relevant ISO and ASTM standards.
- No clinical testing was deemed necessary for this type of modification, reinforcing that the changes were not considered to impact fundamental safety or effectiveness parameters requiring human clinical data.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: Not specified for any of the tests.
- Data Provenance: The document mentions "An outside of the United States (OUS) study." This indicates a prospective clinical study conducted outside the US. No further details on the country of origin are provided. Bench and biocompatibility testing locations are not specified.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- Not Applicable. This device is a medical instrument (collector/syringe) for fluid collection, not an AI/diagnostic device that typically requires expert-established ground truth for its performance evaluation (e.g., image interpretation).

6. If a Standalone Performance Study Was Done
- Yes, implicitly. The bench functional performance tests (ISO 7886-1, ISO 9626, ISO 7864), biocompatibility tests, sterility tests, and the OUS study (which demonstrated effectiveness to collect 50 µL) all represent standalone performance evaluations of the device itself, without human interpretation as a variable.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Metrological and Biological Standards: The ground truth for this device's performance is established by reference to international standards (e.g., ISO for syringes and needles), specific quantitative measurements (e.g., needle force, volume, heavy metal limits, SAL for sterility), and established biocompatibility principles (ISO 10993 series). In the case of the OUS study, the "ground truth" for liquid collection would be the actual measured volume collected by the device.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not Applicable. This is a hardware medical device, not an AI/software device that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not Applicable. As it's not an AI/software device, a training set and its associated ground truth are not relevant.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes for each test mentioned (ISO 9626, ISO 11608-2, Biocompatibility). However, it indicates that "Bench tests for the device's performance were conducted" and "Biocompatibility of the SureFine Pen Needle was evaluated". The testing was conducted by Shina Med Corporation, a company based in the Republic of Korea. The nature of these tests (bench testing, lab-based biocompatibility) suggests they are prospective tests performed on manufactured samples of the device. The data provenance is primarily from internal testing and validation by the manufacturer, following international standards.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for the "test set" in the context of device performance. The testing performed is against established international standards (ISO 9626, ISO 11608-2, ISO 10993 series), which themselves represent a form of "ground truth" for device safety and performance criteria. The evaluation results are reported as "Pass" or "Met," implying adherence to these predefined standards rather than an expert panel establishing a de novo ground truth for each specific test.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
No information is provided regarding an adjudication method (such as 2+1, 3+1, none). The evaluation is based on objective measurements and established criteria set forth by the ISO standards. For instance, a flow rate test would have a pass/fail threshold, not require expert adjudication in the traditional sense.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. The document describes bench tests and biocompatibility evaluations for a medical device (pen needle), not a diagnostic or AI-assisted system that would typically undergo an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers. Therefore, there is no mention of an effect size of human readers improving with or without AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
No. This device is a physical medical instrument (a pen needle), not a software algorithm or AI system. Therefore, the concept of "standalone performance" in the context of algorithms is not applicable here.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for demonstrating the device's performance is adherence to established international standards and regulatory requirements:
- ISO 9626: Specifies requirements for stainless steel needle tubing for the manufacture of hypodermic needles.
- ISO 11608-2: Specifies requirements and test methods for single-use needles used with pen-injectors.
- ISO 10993 series: Biological evaluation of medical devices, covering various aspects of biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, hemocompatibility, pyrogenicity).
- ISO 11135: Specifies requirements for the development, validation, and routine control of an ethylene oxide sterilization process for medical devices.
- ISO 10993-7: EtO residual limits.
- LAL testing: To ensure absence of bacterial endotoxins.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This submission is new design primarily involve changes to the type C name, the addition of new needle lengths and new type E.
The FDA 510(k) submission document for the Promisemed Safety Huber Needles details the device's characteristics and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K230715). The document does not describe a study involving an AI/software device that requires extensive acceptance criteria, an MRMC study, or the establishment of ground truth by multiple experts.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a Class II medical device, specifically a hypodermic single lumen needle. This type of device approval primarily relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device through non-clinical testing, rather than a clinical study with complex AI performance metrics.
Therefore, many of the requested details, such as the number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, and ground truth establishment for training sets, are not applicable to the content of this document.
However, based on the non-clinical testing described, we can extract information relevant to the device's acceptance criteria and how its performance was verified.
Here's an interpretation based on the provided document:
