The KSEA Clearvision® is a lens irrigation system for cleaning the lens and maintaining clear visualization without removing the scope from the surgical site during sinus surgery.

Device Description

The KSEA Clearvision® is a microprocessor-controlled pump device. The device provides irrigation to clean the objective lens of scope, and removes residual solution on the lens. It is used in conjunction with an irrigation sheath.

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) summary does not contain the information required to answer your request.

Here's why:

  • Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance: The document does not describe specific performance-based acceptance criteria (e.g., a certain flow rate, cleaning effectiveness percentage) or present data from a study demonstrating the device meets such criteria. Instead, it focuses on substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on features and intended use.
  • Study Details (Sample Size, Provenance, Ground Truth, Training Set): There is no mention of a study involving a test set, training set, or the establishment of ground truth. The submission is a regulatory comparison against a predicate device, not a performance study.
  • Expert Review/Adjudication: Since no performance study (like a clinical trial or algorithm evaluation) is presented, there's no information about experts used for ground truth, their qualifications, or adjudication methods.
  • MRMC or Standalone Studies: The document does not discuss multi-reader multi-case comparative effectiveness studies or standalone performance studies. The KSEA Clearvision is a physical pump device, not an AI or imaging-based diagnostic tool that would typically undergo such studies.

In summary, this 510(k) pertains to a medical device's regulatory clearance based on substantial equivalence, rather than a detailed performance study with acceptance criteria.

Device Identification:Common Name:Suction/Irrigation Pump
Trade Name: (optional)KSEA Clearvision®

Indication: The KSEA Clearvision® is a lens irrigation system for cleaning the lens and maintaining clear visualization without removing the scope from the surgical site during sinus surgery.

Device Description: The KSEA Clearvision® is a microprocessor-controlled pump device. The device provides irrigation to clean the objective lens of scope, and removes residual solution on the lens. It is used in conjunction with an irrigation sheath.

The KSEA Clearvision® is substantially equivalent to the Substantial Equivalence: predicate device since the basic features and intended uses are the same. The minor differences between the KSEA Clearvision® and the predicate device raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness, as these differences have no effect on the performance, function, or intended use of the devices.

Dear Mr. Lee:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
