Intended Use

The easyEndoTM Lite Linear Cutting Stapler and Loading Units for Single Use are intended for transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses. The instruments have application in multiple open or mimimally invasive general abdominal, gynecologic, thoracic, and pediatric surgical procedures.

Device Description

The proposed device places two, triple-staggered rows of titanium staples and simultaneously divides the tissue from central line. The device is available in 260mm, 350mm and 440mm three lengths. The device is available in four five sizes to accommodate various tissue thickness: 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.5mm, 3.8mm and 4.1mm. The device may be reloaded and fired up to 13 times in a single procedure.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not describe the acceptance criteria or a study proving that a device meets specific acceptance criteria related to an AI/ML medical device.

Instead, the document is an FDA 510(k) summary for a linear cutting stapler and loading unit, which is a physical surgical device, not an AI/ML product. The summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through non-clinical tests (e.g., biological evaluation, seal strength, ex-vivo tissue tests) and comparisons of technological characteristics (e.g., product code, intended use, staple height, materials).

Therefore, I cannot extract the information required for an AI/ML device study, such as sample size for test sets, data provenance, number of experts, MRMC studies, or ground truth establishment methods for an AI model.

The sections that are present in the document and relate to device performance are:

Acceptance Criteria/Performance Testing (Non-Clinical Tests):

  • Ex-vivo tissue test was conducted on porcine stomach and intestine tissue.
    • Test items evaluated: Pressure Resistance Test, Closed Staple Dimension Test, Staple Formation Test, and Force Required to Fire Stapler Test.
  • Jugular vein test was conducted on a porcine model for thin tissues (less than 2.5mm staple height).
    • Evaluated: Burst pressure and closed staple formation.
  • Biological evaluation: ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), ISO 10993-10 (irritation and delayed-type hypersensitivity), ISO 10993-11 (systemic toxicity), USP 43-NF38 (Pyrogen Test), USP 42-NF 37 (Bacterial Endotoxins Tests).
  • Material properties: ASTM F88/F88M-15 (seal strength).
  • Sterilization validation: ISO 11137-2 (sterilization dose).

Reported Device Performance:

The document states, "The test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the following standards" and lists the standards. It implicitly states that the performance met the requirements of these standards. For the ex-vivo and jugular vein tests, it notes what was evaluated but does not provide specific quantitative results or acceptance criteria values for these tests in this summary.

Regarding AI/ML specific information, the document explicitly states:

  • "No clinical study is included in this submission." This means no human-in-the-loop or standalone clinical performance trials were conducted or are reported here, which would be typical for AI/ML validation.

In summary, none of the specific AI/ML related questions can be answered from this document because it pertains to a mechanical surgical stapler, not an AI/ML medical device.

Dear Ms. Hong:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's

{1}------------------------------------------------

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Similar-Indication for use

The indication for use for proposed device is different from proposed device does not have the indication for using with buttessing material or organ transection. However, the indication for use for proposed device can be covered by the predicate device 2. In addition, the indications for use for the proposed device is same as the predicate device 1. Therefore, is not considered to affect substantially equivalence.

Similar-Structure

The structure for the proposed device is different from the predicate device 2 is a cartridge. However, the structure for proposed device is same as the predicate device 1. Therefore, this difference is not considered to affect substantially equivalence. Similar-Suture length

{8}------------------------------------------------

The proposed device has the additional suture levice. However, this suture length specification can be overed by the predicate device 1. Therefore, this difference is not considered to affect substantially equivalence.

Similar- Staple Height

The staple height of the proposed device is different from the predicate device 2. However, the staple height of the proposed device (2.5mm~4.1mm) can be covered by the proposed stable height 2.0mm is same as predicate device 2. Therefore, this difference is not considered to affect substantially equivalence.

Different- Patient-contact material

The patient-contact material of the proposed device. However, the biocompatbility test has been performed on the material of the proposed device and the test result show that the proposed device will not affect adverse effect on the patient. Therefore, this difference is not considered to affect substantially equivalence.

Different-Sterilization

The sterlization method for the proposed device. However, the sterlization process has been validated per ISO 11137 and the validation result can demonstrate the sterilization which can maintain the declared sterilization assurance level, In addition, the irradiation sterilization method is also used for the 1. Therefore, this difference is not considered to affect substantially equivalence.

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

Substantially Equivalent (SE) Conclusion 9.

The subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device cleared under K172960 and K080839.
