Intended Use

The ASC R-Port Laparoscopic Access Device is intended for use as an endoscopic instrument or camera port during minimally invasive abdominal laparoscopic surgery.

Device Description

The ASC R-Port Laparoscopic Access Device (ASC R-Port) is a laparoscopic instrument access port that is used to perform the same function as a standard trocar. The ASC R-Port is offered with four different Introducer components which can be used to deploy the ASC R-Port. The surgeon will select the appropriate Introducer based on whether the first ASC R-Port, second or subsequent ASC R-Port is being introduced and the size of the instruments to be passed through the ASC R-Port.

The ASC R-Port is a sterile, latex-free, disposable laparoscopic instrument port which performs two functions as follows:

  • It retracts a small abdominal incision to allow laparoscopic instruments pass through to the abdomen
  • It ensures that pneumoperitoneum is maintained in the abdomen during the surgical procedure whether or not a laparoscopic instrument is passing through the port.

The ASC R-Port is comprised of the following:

  • a retracting portion which retracts an abdominal incision to allow the passage of laparoscopic instruments
  • a valve portion which maintains the pneumoperitoneum established for the surgical procedure.

Deployment of the first ASC R-Port is accomplished using a Hasson cut-down incision. This is also common practice for the deployment of a first trocar. Deployment of the second and subsequent ASC R-Ports is very similar to the deployment of standard trocars in that the incision is created by a bladeless dissecting-tipped introducer which is removed following creation of the abdominal incision.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the Advanced Surgical Concepts R-Port Laparoscopic Access Device does not contain detailed information about specific acceptance criteria, performance metrics, or the study design that typically proves a device meets such criteria.

Instead, this document is a regulatory submission focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices. It describes the device's function and intended use, and briefly mentions that "Biocompatibility and verification testing have been performed which demonstrated that the ASC R-Port functions as intended and is safe and effective for its intended use." However, it does not provide the specifics of these tests.

Therefore, I cannot populate most of the requested fields based on the provided text.

Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be answered:

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

  • Cannot be provided. The document states "Biocompatibility and verification testing have been performed," but does not list any specific acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum seal integrity, maximum insertion force, leakage rates) or their corresponding results.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Cannot be provided. The document does not mention sample sizes for any testing, nor the provenance of any data.

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 for this type of device. This question is typically relevant for AI/imaging devices where expert interpretation establishes a "ground truth" for diagnostic or classification tasks. The R-Port is a surgical access device, and its performance is evaluated through engineering and biocompatibility testing, not expert consensus on interpretations.

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

  • Not applicable for this type of device. Similar to point 3, adjudication methods are used to resolve disagreements among human experts in diagnostic or classification tasks, which is not relevant to the R-Port.

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 for this type of device. MRMC studies are specific to AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging devices. The R-Port does not involve human "readers" or AI assistance in this context.

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

  • Not applicable for this type of device. This question is for AI/algorithm performance. The R-Port is a physical medical device.

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

  • Not explicitly stated, but implicitly related to engineering specifications and biocompatibility standards. For a device like the R-Port, "ground truth" for performance would be compliance with validated engineering specifications (e.g., ability to maintain pneumoperitoneum, material strength, sealing properties) and established biocompatibility standards. The document only generically mentions "Biocompatibility and verification testing."

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This question pertains to AI/machine learning models which require training sets. The R-Port is a physical medical device.

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

  • Not applicable. See point 8.

In summary, the provided 510(k) document is a high-level regulatory summary for a physical surgical device and does not delve into the detailed performance study specifics that your questions are designed to uncover for AI/diagnostic devices.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION 4.

The ASC R-Port Laparoscopic Access Device (ASC R-Port) is a laparoscopic instrument access port that is used to perform the same function as a standard trocar. The ASC R-Port is offered with four different Introducer components which can be used to deploy the ASC R-Port. The surgeon will select the appropriate Introducer based on whether the first ASC R-Port, second or subsequent ASC R-Port is being introduced and the size of the instruments to be passed through the ASC R-Port.

The ASC R-Port is a sterile, latex-free, disposable laparoscopic instrument port which performs two functions as follows:

  • It retracts a small abdominal incision to allow laparoscopic instruments pass . through to the abdomen
  • It ensures that pneumoperitoneum is maintained in the abdomen during the . surgical procedure whether or not a laparoscopic instrument is passing through the port.

The ASC R-Port is comprised of the following:

  • a retracting portion which retracts an abdominal incision to allow the passage . of laparoscopic instruments
  • a valve portion which maintains the pneumoperitoneum established for the ● surgical procedure.

Deployment of the first ASC R-Port is accomplished using a Hasson cut-down incision. This is also common practice for the deployment of a first trocar. Deployment of the second and subsequent ASC R-Ports is very similar to the deployment of standard trocars in that the incision is created by a bladeless dissecting-tipped introducer which is removed following creation of the abdominal incision.

INTENDED USE ડ.

The ASC R-Port Laparoscopic Access Device is intended for use as an endoscopic instrument or camera port during minimally invasive abdominal laparoscopic surgery.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.

The ASC R-Port provides an access path for laparoscopic instruments through a small incision in the abdominal wall very similar to the function of the predicate trocars. A standard trocar consists of a bladeless dissecting-tipped component for creating a small incision in an abdominal wall, and a rigid cannula which keeps the small incision open, thereby providing an access path for laparoscopic instruments through the small incision in the abdominal wall. To deploy a trocar, a skin incision is created at the desired location in the patient's abdomen. The trocar creates its own incision through to the abdomen using its bladeless dissecting-tipped member which is rotated back and forth as it is advanced through the tissue layers. Once it has penetrated through to the abdomen, the bladeless dissecting-tipped member is

{2}------------------------------------------------

removed, leaving the rigid cannula through which the laparoscopic instruments can be introduced. There is a valve system on the trocar to maintain pneumoperitoneum. whether an instrument is present in the trocar or not.

The ASC R-Port is a laparoscopic instrument access port that is used to perform the same function as a trocar. The ASC R-Port functions to both retract a small abdominal incision to allow laparoscopic instruments to pass through to the abdomen and to maintain the pneumoperitoneum in the abdomen during the surgical procedure whether or not a laparoscopic instrument is passing through the port.

The first ASC R-Port is deployed via a Hasson cut-down incision which is created at the desired location in the patient's abdomen. The ASC R-Port is delivered through this incision with a blunt "Hasson Hook Introducer". The second and subsequent ASC R-Ports are deployed via a skin incision created at the desired location in the patient's abdomen. The ASC R-Port is mounted to the relevant bladeless dissecting tipped introducer (Injector Introducer or 5mm Hook Introducer or 12mm hook Introducer). The bladeless dissecting-tipped introducer creates its own incision through to the abdomen by rotating it back and forth as it is advanced through the tissue layers. Once it has penetrated through to the abdomen, the distal ring of the ASC R-Port is separated from the bladeless dissecting-tipped member. The bladeless dissecting-tipped member is now removed from the incision.

When the ASC R-Port is deployed, the Distal Ring and the Outer Proximal Ring are drawn as close together as the abdominal wall will allow. This sets up tension in the Retracting Sleeve between these two rings, and it is this tension that opens the incision and creates an access path for laparoscopic instruments. There is a valve system on the ASC R-Port to maintain pneumoperitoneum, whether an instrument is present in the ASC R-Port or not.

Like the predicate devices, the ASC R-Port is a sterile, single-use device. The use of the ASC R-Port and the predicates are identical in that they allow the passage of laparoscopic instrumentation while maintaining pneumoperitoneum. Although insertion of the ASC R-Port and the predicate trocars differs, the ASC R-Port insertion does not affect safety and effectiveness of the device since incisions are made consistently and safely during laparoscopic surgery.

PERFORMANCE TESTING 7.

Biocompatibility and verification testing have been performed which demonstrated that the ASC R-Port functions as intended and is safe and effective for its intended use.
