Intended Use

The Duoblade is intended for general electrosurgical applications, including cutting and coagulation, and (Models: DB1SEP, DB1SEP-H, DB1SEP-T, DB1SEP-TH) for removing smoke generated by electrosurgery when used in conjunction with an effective smoke evacuation system.

Device Description

The Electrosurgical Cutting and Coagulation Device and Accessories (Model: Duoblade) is a single-use, monopolar RF device. It is designed to be used with the qualified Generator as part of the Surgery System. It can be operated with the integrated hand switch or a qualified Footswitch. The Duoblade consists of a single blade and telescoping shaft that can be configured in both standard and extended length. The finger grip also incorporates a suction lumen for the evacuation of smoke and fluids.

The models of of Duoblade are identified according to with/without a suction function (removing smoke).

  • Suction function (Removing smoke): DB1SEP, DB1SEP-H, DB1SEP-T, DB1SEP-TH
  • No Suction function (No removing smoke): DB1SP, DB1SP-H, DB1SP-T, DB1SP-TH
AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Duoblade electrosurgical device. It is a submission for regulatory clearance and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not on proving device performance against specific acceptance criteria for an AI/ML algorithm.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets those criteria for an AI/ML product. The questions asked are typically relevant for AI/ML device clearances where performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, AUC, etc., are established and validated through specific study designs.

The Duoblade is an electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device, which is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm. The "Performance Test - Thermal effects on tissue" described in section 12 is a physical performance test, not a study evaluating an algorithm's performance.

In summary, none of the requested information (acceptance criteria table, sample sizes for test/training sets, data provenance, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC study, standalone performance, ground truth types, etc.) can be extracted from this document because it pertains to a different type of medical device lacking an AI/ML component.

12. Performance Test - Thermal effects on tissue

The purpose of this study was to compare penetrating thermal tissue damage/spread associated with the subject device and predicate device using the fresh extirpated porcine muscle, liver and kidney model.

In results of histopathological examination, evidence of wound healing and thermal burn in incision site was evaluated. Although there were no significant differences between the positive control device and test device administered sites on every group, in liver under some conditions and kidney under most conditions, the midline depth and width of the test device application sites showed low tendency compared to positive control device application sites. Therefore, positive control and test article administered group assumed to have no difference in wound coagulation necrosis of incision sites.

In conclusion, the test device was considered to have the equivalent penetrative thermal tissue damage/spread characteristics compared to the positive control device.

13. Clinical Test

No clinical studies were considered for this submission.

14. Conclusion

In comparing between the subject device and the predicate device, there are the same product code, regulatory classification, indications for use, principle of operation, biocompatibility, integrated suction. Although the maximum rated accessory voltage, sterilization, blade material and blade dimensions are difference, the related reports are supported to the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

Therefore, we conclude that the different characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, and thus the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
