Device Description

Insulation Tester

AI/ML Overview

The information details the acceptance criteria and performance testing for a medical device called an "Insulation Tester".

Detection of insufficient insulation100% success rateNot explicitly stated, but implied as predicate standardAchieved for both pinhole and abraded surface conditions. Not rejected known good insulated shafts.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: A minimum of 30 tests were performed for each condition (pin hole, abraded surface) over 2 different time periods. In total, 180 tests were completed.
  • Data Provenance: The study simulated "real-world conditions" by modifying laparoscopic shafts. This suggests a laboratory-based, prospective testing scenario by the manufacturer, Spectrum Surgical Instruments. The country of origin of the data is not explicitly stated but can be inferred as the United States, given the company's address and submission to the FDA.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This type of information is not provided in the document. The device testing relies on the physical modification of laparoscopic shafts by introducing "a small pin hole" or "abrading the surface in an area" to simulate insufficient insulation. The success or failure of detection is based on the device's output (Red LED, Sound) rather than expert interpretation of the condition.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. The "ground truth" (presence or absence of insufficient insulation) was established by physically altering the laparoscopic shafts. The device's detection capabilities (activating LED and sound) were then directly observed.

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 done and not applicable. This document describes the performance of a standalone device (Insulation Tester), not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool or system involving human readers.

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

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The entire performance testing section evaluates the "Insulation Tester's" ability to autonomously detect insufficient insulation without human interpretation or intervention beyond operating the device. The device had a "100% success rate in being able to detect insufficient insulation while not rejected known good insulated laparoscopic shafts."

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

The ground truth was simulated physical defects / known conditions. Laparoscopic shafts were intentionally modified to create "a small pin hole" or "abraded the surface in an area" to represent insufficient insulation. This provides a definitive, objective ground truth for the presence of a fault.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device is a physical instrument for detecting electrical faults, not an AI/machine learning algorithm that requires a training set.

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

Not applicable. As stated above, this device does not utilize a training set in the context of machine learning.

NameDennis A. Kovit Director of Operations
ClassificationElectrosurgical, cutting and coagulation and accessories.
Predicate:Jac-Cell Medic K020334
Description:Insulation Tester
Intended UseVerify insulation integrity on laparoscopic instruments
Contraindication:
WarningShould not be used by or in the presence of someone with an electrical implanted device, such as a pace maker.
Technological CharacteristicsThis device generates an electrical current and detects the current when there is insufficient insulation covering a laparoscopic instrument.
Performance TestingIn actual test performance, real world conditions were simulated by modifying a laparoscopic shaft to include a small pin hole and also to abrade the surface in an area. These are the two scenarios that would typically be found, however any area not properly insulated would be detected by the insulation tester. A minimum of 30 tests in each condition over 2 different time periods were chosen to be performed in order to assure randomness. 180 tests were completed in all, which was well above the minimum number of verification testing requirements. The insulation tester had a 100% success rate in being able to detect insufficient insulation while not rejected known good insulated laparoscopic shafts.

ConclusionThe Spectrum insulation tester is equivalent to the Jac-Cell Medic insulation andcontinuity tester with respect to insulation testing. Since the Spectrum tester doesnot test for continuity, no statement can be made in this regard
