The Encision Disposable Handle Assemblies are used for minimally invasive surgical, laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures performed in general surgery, obstetrics/gynecology and gastroenterology/urology.
The DH0100 series and DH0500 series Disposable Handle Assemblies are fully disposable surgical instruments which are packaged for use without additional setup. The instruments fit standard 5.5mm cannulas. The Disposable Handle Assemblies are available in various operative lengths and styles. Tip styles include scissors, and double action and single action forceps and jaws for dissection or grasping. The handle and trigger open and close the working tip of the instrument. The rotation knob turns to allow 360°orientation of the tip as the surgeon prefers. This device does not transmit electrosurgical energy. There is no connection for monopolar or bipolar output from a generator. However, the shaft is insulated, in the event the instrument comes into contact with an active instrument, to prevent stray energy burns. The assembly is supplied sterile and is not intended for more than one use.
The Encision Disposable Handle Assemblies are surgical instruments designed for minimally invasive, laparoscopic, and endoscopic procedures. The device's safety and effectiveness were primarily demonstrated through a declaration of substantial equivalence to predicate devices, supported by non-clinical performance testing.
1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Articulating Functions (Bench Testing) | Performance verified |
| Shaft Insulation Dielectric Withstand | Performance verified |
| Biocompatibility ISO 10993 series | Materials selected and verified to meet requirements |
| Equivalence to Predicate Device - Cutting | Performs in an equivalent manner to predicate devices |
| Equivalence to Predicate Device - Tissue Manipulation | Performs in an equivalent manner to predicate devices |
| Equivalence to Predicate Device - Handle Articulation | Transmitted to the tips in the same way as predicate devices |
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: Not specified. The performance verification was conducted through "bench testing."
- Data Provenance: Not specified, but generally, bench testing for medical devices is performed in a laboratory setting, likely within the manufacturer's facilities or a contracted testing lab. The data is retrospective in the sense that it's gathered specifically for regulatory submission.
3. Number, Qualifications, and Adjudication Method of Experts for Ground Truth
This information is not applicable as the study described is a non-clinical, bench testing program for device functionality and material properties, not a study involving human subjects or expert assessment of clinical images/data. The "ground truth" was based on established engineering specifications, safety standards, and performance metrics for surgical instruments.
4. Adjudication Method
Not applicable, as no expert consensus or adjudication process was involved.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No MRMC study was performed. The device's performance was evaluated through bench testing and comparison to predicate devices, not through a study involving human readers or AI assistance. Therefore, there is no effect size of human readers improving with or without AI.
6. Standalone Performance Study
A standalone performance evaluation was conducted in the form of "non-clinical performance testing" and "bench testing." This evaluated the device's articulating functions, shaft insulation, and material biocompatibility against defined engineering and safety standards. This study did not involve human operators in a clinical setting to assess performance, but rather technical performance attributes.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used for Test Set
The ground truth for the test set (bench testing) was based on:
- Established engineering specifications for articulating functions.
- Industry standards for dielectric withstand (for insulation).
- ISO 10993 series of standards for biocompatibility.
- Performance characteristics of the predicate devices for cutting, tissue manipulation, and handle articulation.
Essentially, the "ground truth" was defined by a combination of engineering requirements and the performance of already-approved, substantially equivalent devices.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is a mechanical surgical instrument, not an AI or machine learning algorithm. Therefore, there is no "training set."
9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

Description of Devices:
The DH0100 series and DH0500 series Disposable Handle Assemblies are fully disposable surgical instruments which are packaged for use without additional setup. The instruments fit standard 5.5mm cannulas. The Disposable Handle Assemblies are available in various operative lengths and styles. Tip styles include scissors, and double action and single action forceps and jaws for dissection or grasping. The handle and trigger open and close the working tip of the instrument. The rotation knob turns to allow 360°orientation of the tip as the surgeon prefers.
This device does not transmit electrosurgical energy. There is no connection for monopolar or bipolar output from a generator. However, the shaft is insulated, in the event the instrument comes into contact with an active instrument, to prevent stray energy burns.
The assembly is supplied sterile and is not intended for more than one use.

Intended Use:
ﮐ
The Encision Disposable Handle Assemblies are for use during minimally invasive surgical, laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures performed in general surgery, obstetrics/gynecology and gastroenterology/urology.
Contraindications
- These instruments have not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization procedures, . and should not be used for these procedures.
- These instruments are not intended for use when minimally invasive techniques are . contraindicated.
Technological Characteristics:
The Encision Disposable Handle Assemblies incorporate the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices, with the exception that no option is provided for connection to a high frequency electrosurgical energy source. The cutting and tissue manipulation features, however, perform in an equivalent manner, and the handle articulation is transmitted to the tips in the same way. The shaft of the instrument is also insulated. The single use device is packaged assembled and shipped sterile.
Non-clinical Performance Testing:
Performance of the devices' articulating functions, and shaft insulation dielectric withstand, have been verified by bench testing.
Materials were selected and verified to meet the biocompatibility requirements of the applicable ISO 10993 series of standards.
Conclusions:
The Encision Disposable Handle Assemblies are safe and effective and are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
