Device Description

the Mitaka UniARM-device is for use in holding medical devices in surgery such as neuro endoscopes, general endoscopes, and hand held instruments. It is a balanced device using pneumatic brakes that can be released from a single switch near the endoscope or hand held instrument. Often referred to as a third arm it provides a stable platform to hold an endoscope or hand held instrument allowing the surgeon the use of his two arms. The system can be released by the push of one button and fixes with the release of that button. A second button is depressed by the palm as a safety device.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the Mitaka UniARM, an endoscope holder. The study details are limited to a performance comparison with predicate devices and a non-clinical test of brake holding power. Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state acceptance criteria in terms of specific numerical thresholds for performance. Instead, it compares the UniARM's functionalities to predicate devices and describes a non-clinical test.

Feature/TestAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
BalanceEffectively balances both endoscope and holding arm"Arm balances both endoscope and holding arm perfectly" (compared to "Adjustable Spring" for Kroner and "Arm is balanced but surgeon holds weight of endoscope system" for Mitaka Point Setter)
Power SourceUses a power source suitable for its function"All Pneumatic" (same as Mitaka Point Setter; Kroner is "Electric & Pneumatic")
Attachment MethodSecurely positions the device within the OR"Sits on rollable Base" (compared to "OR table rail" for both Kroner and Mitaka Point Setter)
HoldsCapable of holding endoscopes and hand instruments"Endoscopes and hand instruments" (same as both predicate devices)
Brake Holding Power (Non-clinical)Brake holding power is sufficient and comparable to predicateTested using a force gauge; "The same force measurement system is used on the Point Setter." (Implies comparable or superior performance, though no specific values are given.)
Clinical Performance (In-patient use)Safe and effective in actual surgical settings"The system has been tested in operating rooms with patients for over one year in Japan where it is manufactured." (No specific metrics provided beyond this statement.)
Overall EquivalenceSubstantially equivalent to predicate devices with improvements"Clinical, performance, and non-clinical validation compared to Kroner-Wingman and Mitaka Point Setter show that the devices are substantially equivalent to the UniARM. The UniARM merely offers improvements in reach, holding power, and convenience."

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

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify a numerical sample size for either the non-clinical or clinical tests.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Non-clinical: Performed by Mitaka Kohki Co., Ltd. (manufacturer) – implied to be in Japan.
    • Clinical: Japan, retrospective (implied, as it states "has been tested for over one year").

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

This information is not provided in the document. The clinical testing mentioned ("tested in operating rooms with patients") suggests evaluation by surgeons, but their number and specific qualifications are not detailed.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided in the document.


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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned or described in the provided text. The evaluation focuses on the device's functional equivalence and improvements over predicate devices, not on the improvement of human reader performance with or without AI assistance.


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

This relates to AI/software performance. The Mitaka UniARM is a mechanical device, not an AI algorithm. Therefore, a standalone algorithm performance study is not applicable and was not done.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For the non-clinical brake holding power test: The "ground truth" was established by force gauge measurements against the device's own internal design specifications and comparison to the predicate device's measured performance.
  • For clinical performance: The "ground truth" was implicitly based on surgeon experience and patient outcomes during the one year of use in Japan, though no specific metrics or 'truth' establishment method is detailed beyond general positive clinical use.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. The UniARM is a mechanical device, not an AI model that requires a training set.


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

This information is not applicable for the same reason as above (mechanical device, no training set).

2. Description of the Mitaka UniARM:

Summary: the Mitaka UniARM-device is for use in holding medical devices in surgery such as neuro endoscopes, general endoscopes, and hand held instruments. It is a balanced device using pneumatic brakes that can be released from a single switch near the endoscope or hand held instrument. Often referred to as a third arm it provides a stable platform to hold an endoscope or hand held instrument allowing the surgeon the use of his two arms. The system can be released by the push of one button and fixes with the release of that button. A second button is depressed by the palm as a safety device.

A. Design configuration:

  • Brakes Uses fail safe clutches which when activated by Nitrogen pressure from operating a. room source allow the clutches to turn freely. When the nitrogen pressure is released by surgeon controlled button the pressure escapes and the clutches hold tight.
  • ت Mechanics - The UniARM uses a system of counterweights that allow the surgeon to balance the weight of an endoscope or instrument. This gounter balancing allows greater ease and precision in repositioning the endoscope or instrument.

  • Base The system is mounted to a base with four wheels so it can be positioned at the side of ﻦ patient. Base brakes hold the base securely. The base has mounted an elevating unit to allow arm to be raised and lowered for optimal positioning.
