Intended Use

The Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bag System consists of a family of impervious bags that are sterile, single use, disposable devices having applications as a receptacle for the safe encapture and removal of tissue specimens, organs and calculi during laparoscopic surgical procedures that can be used alone or with a dedicated introducer system.

Device Description

The Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags are comprised of an introducer tube with a blunt tip, flexible fiber reinforced plastic bag with a large, easily accessible opening. With the blunt tip the instruments can be introduced percutaneously to the intended surgical site directly through an opening in the abdomen or through a conduit cannula/trocar for sizes under 16 mm, after which the working portion of the instrument can be deployed. The deployment systems consists of either a push/pull rod with thumb ring (similar to a syringe), finger ring handle, or a back handle and a push button with an internal push rod, all instruments have a blunt tip nose used for direct insertion into the abdomen. In the fully deployed condition, the bag opening is maintained in an open position by metallic rings. A suture with a slipknot and perforations of the bag under where the bag is attached to the rings facilitates closure of the specimen bag after the specimen has been collected into the bag, the suture or purse string is connected to an external part (string ring).. The specimen bag has a series of perforations around the perimeter so when the purse string suture is pulled and the bag starts to cinch and separates from the metallic rings, this is accomplished by pulling the external string ring.

The larger sized Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags, 16mm and 20mm come with a side access tube which allows for additional access into the bag without compromising the integrity of the bag opening to visualize the specimen inside the bag. This is accomplished by using a 5 mm or less sized instruments and scopes to be introduced directly into the bag for additional visualization and manipulation where required.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bag System. This is a medical device clearance document, not a clinical study report for an AI model. Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and study proving an AI device meets those criteria.

Specifically, the document discusses:

  • Acceptance Criteria for a Physical Device: The document states "The Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bag utilizes technologies that are currently found in legally marketed predicate devices. Based upon testing and comparison with the predicate devices, the Beacon Surgical Specimen retrieval bag system presents no additional adverse indications or results. We have found that the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bag system does not present any new risks to the patient and that it is safe and performs within its design specifications." This indicates the acceptance criteria are related to safety, performance within design specifications, and equivalence to predicate devices, which are typical for traditional medical devices.
  • Study Proving Device Meets Criteria: The document mentions "The devices components being utilized from the predicate device K111845 have been subjected to and passed a variety of bench tests along with sterilization and aging. Additionally, the critical functions of the device have been tested for verification under protocol's BS-0101 and BS-0102 and have met the stated requirements." This refers to bench testing for a physical medical device, not a study involving AI model evaluation.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information in the form of the table and the detailed study parameters because the source material does not describe a study related to an AI device's performance against acceptance criteria. The document is for a physical specimen retrieval bag, not an AI or software as a medical device.

Device Description:

Summary of the function of the device and its major components:

The Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags are comprised of an introducer tube with a blunt tip, flexible fiber reinforced plastic bag with a large, easily accessible opening. With the blunt tip the instruments can be introduced percutaneously to the intended surgical site directly through an opening in the abdomen or through a conduit cannula/trocar for sizes under 16 mm, after which the working portion of the instrument can be deployed. The deployment systems consists of either a push/pull rod with thumb ring (similar to a syringe), finger ring handle, or a back handle and a push button with an internal push rod, all instruments have a blunt tip nose used for direct insertion into the abdomen. In the fully deployed condition, the bag opening is maintained in an open position by metallic rings. A suture with a slipknot and perforations of the bag under where the bag is attached to the rings facilitates closure of the specimen bag after the specimen has been collected into the bag, the suture or purse string is connected to an external part (string ring).. The specimen bag has a series of perforations around the perimeter so when the purse string suture is pulled and the bag starts to cinch and separates from the metallic rings, this is accomplished by pulling the external string ring.

The larger sized Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags, 16mm and 20mm come with a side access tube which allows for additional access into the bag without compromising the integrity of the bag opening to visualize the specimen inside the bag. This is accomplished by using a 5 mm or less sized instruments and scopes to be introduced directly into the bag for additional visualization and manipulation where required.

Patient Contact Materials:

The device is composed of biocompatible materials including the patient contact components that have been used in medical devices for many years.

Cleaning, Disinfection, Sterilization and Pyrogenicity:

The Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags are a family of sterile disposable single patient use devices packaged in a sterile barrier pouch which will be Ethylene oxide (ETO) sterilized. The disposable Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bag will be sterilized using Ethylene oxide (ETO) sterilized, validated in production to a SAL of 10° per ISO 11135:2007.

510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness:

The Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bag utilizes technologies that are currently found in legally marketed predicate devices. Based upon testing and comparison with the predicate devices, the Beacon Surgical Specimen retrieval bag system presents no additional adverse indications or results. We have found that the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bag system does not present any new risks to the patient and that it is safe and performs within its design specifications. Therefore we believe that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and other technologies cleared by the FDA.

{5}------------------------------------------------

Technological Characteristics:

Beacon Surgical. Inc. believes that the subject device is substantially equivalent to other devices that have previously received FDA 510(k) clearance including the predicate devices.

Predicate Device:

The following devices have been identified as predicate devices:

  • Espiner Tissue Retrieval System ( K111845). ●
  • . Anchor Espiner Tissue Retrieval System (K982073).

Predicate Device Comparison:

The Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bag's are, in principal and function, identical to existing technologies. A variety of specimen retrieval bags are already widely manufactured and used in surgical procedures which share many similarities to the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bag. The predicate device's bags are of the same materials and processes and produced by the same manufacturer which has approval under 510(k) (K111845) for Espiner and (K982073) for Anchor. Espiner is the original manufacturer of the bag family which will be the bag for the Beacon bag specimen retrieval system.

Discussion on Comparison:

The main difference between the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags is that the Espiner Medical, K111845 and the Anchor Products K982073 are designed for introduction and use through appropriately sized trocars/cannulas. Whereas the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval system can be used without the need for an insertion conduit or cannula, as the product comes with a blunt tip for entering into the body cavity through an entrance wound. The larger sized units have an additional access tube similar to the Espiner larger bag which allows for additional instruments or laparoscope to be used. All three units share the identical bag material and manufacturing processes. The other differences are the deployment system where the Espiner bag has to be loaded into a unit to be deployed, the Beacon Specimen Bag system houses the bag assembly internally and will deploy similar to present systems currently on the market and release from the rings when the bag is cinched through the perforations around the ring channel. The main difference between the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags is that the Espiner Medical, K111845, and the Anchor Products K982073 are designed for introduction and use through appropriately sized trocars/cannulas. Whereas the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval system can be used without the need for an insertion conduit or cannula, as the product comes with a blunt tip for entering into the body cavity through an entrance wound. The larger sized units have an additional access tube similar to the Espiner larger bag for additional access by another instrument or laparoscope into the bag. All three units utilize the exact same material in the bags, and the method of construction of the Beacon bags, Esacs and the E-sleeves are identical. The differences between the Beacon Bags and the Espiner bags Standard, Super, Master and Eco are only in the methods of deployment, and release from the instrument. The other differences are the deployment system where the Espiner bag has to be loaded into a unit to be deployed, the Beacon Specimen Bag system houses the bag assembly internally and will deploy similar to present systems currently on the market. The beacon bags are all attached to a ring and are inside a tube that when
