Intended Use

The CoolSeal™ Trinity is a bipolar electrosurgical instrument intended for use in minimally invasive or open surgical procedures where ligation and division of vessels, tissue bundles, and lymphatics is desired. The CoolSeal™ Trinity can be used on vessels (arteries, veins, and vascular bundles) up to and including 7 mm in diameter. It is indicated for use in general surgery procedures including urologic, vascular, and gynecologic. It is indicated for use in adult and pediatric populations (infants, children, and adolescents). Procedures may include, but are not limited to, Nissen fundoplication, colectomy, cholecystectomy, adhesiolysis, hysterectomy, etc. The CoolSeal™ Trinity has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures. Do not use the CoolSeal™ Trinity for these procedures. The device is contraindicated for use in ENT procedures.

Device Description

The CoolSeal™ Trinity, a Maryland Laparoscopic Sealer, Divider, and Dissector, with a 5 mm diameter shaft is designed for use with the CoolSeal™ Generator or any generator with the CoolSeal™ technology. The Trinity is provided sterile and is a single-use disposable instrument. The Trinity creates seals by application of radiofrequency (RF) electrosurgical energy to vascular structures (vessels and lymphatics) or tissue bundles interposed between its jaws. A blade within the instrument is surgeon-actuated to divide tissue. The double action jaws have been designed to dissect tissue, which includes separating tissue planes and widening openings as necessary for the surgical procedure. The CoolSeal™ Trinity includes 3 different shaft lengths: 30 cm, 37 cm, and 44 cm.

AI/ML Overview

This document (K211579) describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the CoolSeal™ Trinity, a bipolar electrosurgical instrument. The information provided heavily focuses on the device's technical specifications, indications for use, and a comparison to predicate devices, along with general statements about safety and performance testing. However, it does not contain the specific details regarding acceptance criteria and the comprehensive study that proves the device meets those criteria, especially in the context of an AI/ML-based device.

The document confirms that mechanical, electrical, and functional testing was carried out, along with ex-vivo and in-vivo vessel burst pressure studies, in-vivo thermal spread comparison, and chronic animal studies. While these are performance studies, they are geared towards demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of a physical electrosurgical medical device and not an AI/ML algorithm.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria and a study proving an AI/ML device's performance from this document. The document primarily addresses the substantial equivalence of a surgical instrument to its predicates.

To answer your request, the document would need to contain information about:

  • A specific algorithm or AI component.
  • Performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, AUC, or accuracy (for classification tasks).
  • Details on test datasets (sample size, provenance, ground truth establishment, adjudication).
  • Details on training datasets.
  • MRMC study results, if applicable.

Since this information is not present, I must state that the document does not provide the necessary data to answer the request in the context of an AI/ML device.

Dear Nicholas Wong:

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.

PERFORMANCE DATA

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility Testing

CoolSeal™ Trinity:

The biocompatibility evaluation for the CoolSeal™ Trinity was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process," as recognized by FDA.

Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The CoolSeal™ system complies with relevant clauses of the ANSI/AAMI/IEC 60601-1 and ANSI/AAMI/IEC 60601-2-2 standards for electrical safety and ANSI/AAMI/IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC.

Mechanical and Functional Testing

Mechanical, electrical, and functional testing was carried out to verify that the proposed device performed as expected.

Ex-vivo and In-vivo Vessel Burst Pressure

CoolSeal™ Trinity:

Ex-vivo burst pressure testing of excised fresh porcine blood vessels was conducted on the subject device to demonstrate effective bipolar electrosurgical vessel sealing performance.

In-vivo Thermal Spread Comparison

CoolSeal™ Trinity:

Open laparotomy was performed in a porcine model using the subject device and predicate device. Each device was used to seal vessels and tissue bundles. Samples were excised for threedimensional histological assessments (e.g., length, width, and depth) to quantify thermal spread in seals created by both devices. This study demonstrated that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.

Chronic Animal Study

CoolSeal™ Trinity:

Chronic animal studies were conducted to assess safety and performance of bipolar vessel sealing with the subject device over the minimum 21-day survival period. All animals survived without any complications. All vessel sealing effects on tissue maintained chronic hemostasis and healed as anticipated.

CONCLUSIONS

Based on a review of performance data, comparison of the device classification, intended use, operating principles, technological characteristics, sterility, and biocompatibility, the subject device is safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate devices.
