Device Description

The Ultravision2™ System is a multifunctional system that synchronizes visual field clearing with the activation of smoke-producing electrosurgical devices. The system interfaces with commercially available electrosurgical instruments. The Ultravision2™ Generator connects directly to a commercially available electrosurgical generator (ESU) and passes the RF energy through to the desired electrosurgical instrument connected to the Utravision2™ Generator. The Ultravison2™ System is able to automate the activation of the Ionwand for visual field clearing to the electrosurgical device to synchronize visual field clearing with the generation of smoke.

The components of the overall system will be:

  • Ultravision2TM system comprising: .
    • . Ultravision2TM generator
    • Link cables (x4)
    • . Power cable
    • Equipotential cable .
  • . IonPencil™ accessory
  • . Integrated Monopolar L-Hook(H/S)TM accessory
  • Ionwand™ accessory
  • . Ultravision™ 5mm Trocar accessory

The IonPencil™ is a bifunctional open surgery device that combines proprietary smoke management (via visual field clearing) and monopolar HF tissue cutting and coagulation in a single device. It's addition to the Ultravision 2 System adds the general open procedure capability to the Ultravision2™ indications of use along with the new single use accessory.

The IonPencil™ can only interface with the Ultravision2 generator which connects directly to a commercially available electrosurgical generator (ESU) for its HF monopolar energy source. The IonPencil™ provides two smoke clearing emitters that are automatically activated to clear the visual field when the device cutting function (HF) is activated. The mode of action of smoke management (visual field clearing) is electrostation as per the predicate Ultravision system. When the tissue cutting or coagulation is ceased, the visual field clearing signal is automatically switched off after a short delay period that is settable on the Ultravision2™ generator user interface.

Activation of the HF function of the IonPencil™ is via a yellow (Cut) or blue (Coag) button located on the handpiece, or via a footswitch if this connected to the parent electrosurgical generator which is connected to the Ultravision2™ system. The IonPencil™ itself is incompatible with the connectors of third-party electrosurgical generators. The IonPencil™ is provided with a 69mm long PTFE coated blade.

The following cleared accessories have not changed:

• The Integrated Monopolar L-Hook(H/S)™ is a bifunctional laparoscopic device that combines proprietary smoke management (via visual field clearing) and monopolar HF tissue cutting and coagulation in a single device.

· The Ionwand™ pack comprises a dedicated percutaneous 3mm trocar/catheter which accommodates the Ionwand™ cable that delivers low energy from the generator to the patient for smoke management.

  • · The Ultravision™ 5mm Trocar includes a dedicated Ionwand™ cable.

Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It typically does not contain the detailed methodology and results of a clinical study that would be used to prove novel device performance. The information outlines non-clinical testing and design validation under simulated use conditions.

Regarding the remaining questions, the provided text does not contain the requested information:

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): The text mentions "non-clinical testing" and "design validation under simulated use conditions" but does not specify sample sizes for these tests or the provenance of any data. These are likely bench tests and not human subject studies.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable, as the tests described are non-clinical, primarily focused on device specifications and performance rather than diagnostic accuracy involving human interpretation.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable for non-clinical testing.
  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: Not applicable. This document describes a surgical smoke precipitator, not an AI-assisted diagnostic device.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a software algorithm.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): For non-clinical tests, "ground truth" is typically defined by engineering specifications, standard test methods, and comparison to predicate device performance. For biocompatibility, it's defined by the specific criteria of the ISO standards.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/machine learning device.

Conclusion

The conclusion drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrates that the subject device in this 510(k) submission, K240868 is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate devices cleared under K231298, K200035, Class II (21 CFR 878.5050), product code PQM, and K965054, K081791, Class II (21 CFR 878.4400), product code GEI.

§ 878.5050 Surgical smoke precipitator.

(a)
Identification. A surgical smoke precipitator is a prescription device intended for clearance of the visual field by precipitation of surgical smoke and other aerosolized particulate matter created during laparoscopic surgery.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) Adverse tissue reaction must be mitigated through the following:
(i) Chemical characterization and toxicological risk assessment of the treated surgical smoke.
(ii) Demonstration that the elements of the device that may contact the patient are biocompatible.
(2) Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended.
(3) Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed.
(4) Performance data must demonstrate the sterility of the patient contacting components of the device.
(5) Performance data must support the shelf life of the sterile components of the device by demonstrating continued functionality, sterility, and package integrity over the identified shelf life.
(6) Animal simulated-use testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use. The following performance characteristics must be tested:
(i) Device must be demonstrated to be effectively inserted, positioned, and removed from the site of use.
(ii) Device must be demonstrated to precipitate surgical smoke particulates to clear the visual field for laparoscopic surgeries.
(iii) Device must be demonstrated to be non-damaging to the site of use and animal subject.
(7) Labeling must identify the following:
(i) Detailed instructions for use.
(ii) Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility information.
(iii) A shelf life.
