AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the submission for a 510(k) premarket notification for electrosurgical devices (ESG-300 with accessories: APU-300, Pressure Reducer, MAPC Probes).

The document is a Summary of a 510(k) submission, not a detailed study report. Therefore, it primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through various tests and compliance with recognized standards, rather than proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria for a novel AI/ML medical device.

Based on the provided text, the device is an electrosurgical generator, not an AI/ML device. The "acceptance criteria" discussed in the document are primarily related to safety, performance (including tissue effects and electrical waveforms), and compliance with FDA recognized standards, rather than AI-specific metrics like AUC, sensitivity, or specificity.

Therefore, many of the requested points regarding AI/ML device validation (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance) are not applicable or not explicitly stated in the context of an electrical medical device submission like this one.

However, I can extract information relevant to the device's validation and "acceptance criteria" as described in this submission:


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (as inferred from the document):

The submission's core "acceptance criteria" revolve around demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices in terms of:

  • Safety: Compliance with electrical safety, EMC, thermal safety, and biocompatibility standards.
  • Performance: Comparable tissue effects and electrical waveforms to the predicate devices across various modes and tissue types.
  • Functionality: The device performs its intended cutting and coagulation functions.
  • Usability: Acceptable residual risk and user interface design.

Since this is a submission to demonstrate substantial equivalence of a non-AI electrosurgical device, the acceptance criteria are largely qualitative and based on comparative bench testing and compliance with recognized standards, rather than quantitative metrics typically seen for AI/ML performance.

Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Inferred from the document):

Study Information (Based on the document):

  1. Sample Size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number of "cases" or "patients" as would be seen for clinical or AI studies. The "test set" consisted of:
      • Tissue types: "three clinically relevant tissue types: porcine muscle for endoscopic procedures, porcine liver for open procedures and porcine kidney for laparoscopic procedures." The number of individual tissue samples or repetitions per setting is not specified.
      • Modes/Settings: Minimum, default, and maximum intensity settings for all applicable modes were tested.
      • Instruments: A "representative selection of HF instruments" was used.
    • Data Provenance: The preclinical (simulated use) evaluation was performed using porcine tissue. The location where these studies were conducted (e.g., country) is not specified. It is a preclinical bench study, not a clinical one, so it is neither retrospective nor prospective in the human patient sense.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable/Not stated. For this type of electrosurgical device, "ground truth" typically refers to objective measurements of tissue effects (e.g., coagulation zone size) and electrical waveforms, not expert consensus on image interpretation or diagnosis. The measurements were quantitative and qualitative assessments of physical effects. Thus, human "experts" establishing a diagnostic ground truth are not relevant for this type of submission.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable. As above, this is not a diagnostic study involving human interpretation that would require an adjudication process. Measurements of tissue effects and electrical waveforms are objective bench tests.
  4. 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:

    • No. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, and no MRMC study was performed. Clinical studies were explicitly stated as "not conducted for this submission."
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm. The device itself performs the function. The bench testing performed could be considered "standalone" in the sense that the device's physical output and effect were measured objectively, independent of a human operator's diagnostic interpretation.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

    • For functional performance (tissue effects and electrical waveforms): The "ground truth" was established by objective measurements of characteristics such as:
      • Size (length, width, depth) of the thermal coagulation zone in porcine tissue.
      • Electrical waveforms (compared directly to predicate devices).
    • For safety: Compliance with a multitude of recognized international standards and specific FDA guidances.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, so there is no "training set."
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable. No training set was used.

2.7 Substantial Equivalence

Substantial equivalence is demonstrated by acknowledged verification/validation methodologies. The subject devices have equivalent technology, performance, dimensions and materials. The differences to the primary predicate device ESG-400 are:

  • only one monopolar socket, no universal socket, vertical alignment of the ● output sockets
  • to be used only in conjunction with a double pedal footswitch
  • . no PK instruments incorporation
  • Monopolar argon plasma coagulation in conjunction with dedicated Olympus accessories
  • does not enable the user to select the effect of the output modes
  • . GUI modifications (additional strings, languages, sounds, screens, windows)

Regarding the additionally implemented monopolar argon plasma coagulation modes, a secondary predicate device and its required accessories have been chosen, because of their specific output modes. For both the substantial equivalence is demonstrated by acknowledged verification/validation methodologies. The subject device has equivalent technology and performance in respect to the compared modes.

2.8 Performance Data

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. All standards applied are FDA recognized international standards.

The data was prepared in accordance with the FDA guidance, Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Electrosurgical Devices for General Surgery Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, issued on August 15, 2016. The guidance was followed for all relevant sections.

Biocompatibility testing 2.8.1

The ESG-300 and its accessories APU-300 and pressure reducer do not contain components that come directly or indirectly in patient contact. Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993 for these components is not required.

Biocompatibility testing of the MAPC probes accessories has been successfully conducted according to ISO 10993-1 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices-Part 1: Evaluation and Testing. Additionally, the FDA guidance "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing" was followed.

Testing included the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity -
  • -Irritation
  • Sensitization -

contacting device is considered external The patient communicating, tissue/bone/dentin, for a duration of less than 24 hours.

2.8.2 Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

The design of the ESG-300 with accessories complies with recognized standards as listed in section 2.10.

The FDA guidance "Information to Support a Claim of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) of Electrically-Powered Medical Devices", CDRH July 11, 2016 has been followed.

Thermal Safety 2.8.3

The design of the ESG-300 with accessories complies with recognized standards as listed in section 2.10.

2.8.4 Animal Studies

Not applicable.

Clinical Studies 2.8.5

Clinical studies were not conducted for this submission.

Software 2.8.6

The software validation activities were performed in accordance with the FDA Guidance, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" (May 11, 2005). The device software is considered a "Major Level of Concern".

Performance Testing Bench 2.8.7

To demonstrate substantial equivalence Olympus considered the following subject device aspects in regards to the predicate devices within the design validation:

    1. Performance and validation tests incorporated the same range of waveform outputs and power levels.
  • During the validation testing the waveforms and tissue effects were 2. compared directly between the subject and predicate device.

Bench testing supports the claim of substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. The validation plan specifies modes, instruments and test protocols/plans for tissue effects and electrical waveforms. Beside tissue effects, the waveforms of the generators were compared. For all modes the tests demonstrated comparable tissue effects and electrically comparable waveforms.

The following non-clinical and preclinical tests were conducted:

  1. non-clinical (electrical, dimensional, functional, biocompatibility, stability) 2) preclinical (simulated use) evaluation and testing of tissue effects and thermal safety

Non-clinical: Basic safety and performance testing was performed in accordance with IEC standards. In addition, verification and comparison bench studies were conducted to evaluate the functional performance.

Stability: Sterile samples were subjected to accelerated aging to confirm that the disposable devices maintain functionality and continue to meet specifications over time. The results of the accelerated age testing demonstrate that the device will be

{9}------------------------------------------------

stable for the stated shelf-life. In addition, real time age testing will confirm the results of the accelerated age testing. Samples were also subjected to environmental conditioning and ship testing.

Preclinical: Evidence obtained from preclinical simulated use studies demonstrate that the device performs substantially equivalent to the predicate device in relevant aspects associated with usability, tissue effects, and thermal effects. For simulated use testing, three clinically relevant tissue types were evaluated in all applicable modes: porcine muscle for endoscopic procedures, porcine liver for open procedures and porcine kidney for laparoscopic procedures. In accordance with FDA Guidance, Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Electrosurgical Devices for General Surgery, the thermal damage of the tissue due to the HF current was measured in terms of size (length, width and depth) of the thermal coagulation zone. The tissue effects testing included quantitative and qualitative assessment. Furthermore, each test included the minimum, default and maximum intensity settings. All modes were compared to the predicate. Where the minimum or maximum intensity settings of the test and predicate device differed in terms of output wattage by specification the closest applicable settings were chosen.

In order to exclude variations due to the instrument, the tissue effect was probed with the subject and predicate generators and the same instruments. A representative selection of HF instruments was made that cover the broad spectrum of applications.

These comprehensive validation bench tests support equivalence to the predicate device. Testing confirmed that comparable tissue effects could be achieved for applicable modes of operation with the three tissue types. Therefore, comparison testing does support that the subject device is substantially equivalent to and is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device.

Usability and user interface was also assessed according to the risk management plan. The assessment was based on Olympus predecessor product. Use-related hazardous situations were assessed and risk mitigation measures in terms of usability design for safety were defined. The residual risk was evaluated as acceptable.

Risk analysis was carried out in accordance with established internal acceptance criteria based on ISO 14971:2007.

2.9 Reprocessing, Sterilization and Shelf Life

Required cleaning, disinfecting and drying procedures are described in the instructions for use. Reprocessing of the single use MAPC probes is not applicable. Sterilization of the MAPC probes is performed according to ISO 11135 and packaging conforms to ISO 11607-1. The EtO sterilization cycle has been validated.

A sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6 was reached during validation and will be used for routine sterilization in compliance with regulations in force for sterile medical devices.

{10}------------------------------------------------
