Disposable neutral electrodes are indicated for use to adhere to the patient over the entire pad surface to complete an electrical circuit during electrosurgery between the electrosurgical generator, the active electrode and the patient.
Solid Electrosurgical pads are for use with generators that do not have a Contact Quality Monitoring System (CQMS). Split Electrosurgical pads are for use with generators that have a CQMS (i.e. REM,ARM,NESSY etc.).
Disposable neutral electrodes are part of a family of patient return electrodes. They are non-sterile, single-use devices used in electrosurgery to complete the electrical circuit with the generator. Providing a low-impedance path back to the generator through the return electrodes helps to prevent unintended HF burns. The solid electrosurgical pads are designed to be compatible with generators without Contact Quality Monitoring System (CQMS), and the split electrosurgical pads are designed to be compatible with the Contact Quality Monitoring System (CQMS) of compatible generators. The models share the same design elements (functional design, technology design, packaging, etc.) but have different sizes and shapes. The models are designed for adults, children, and neonates, separate catalog numbers are assigned for the intended patients, and pre-attached cord.
Disposable neutral electrodes consist of foam backing, cable connection area, conductive aluminum foil, conductive adhesive gel layer and release liner. The pads are applied on a release liner. The surface of the conductive aluminum foil is fully covered with a soft, conformable conductive adhesive gel.
The electrode backing is made of foam material. The electrodes are supplied with or without cable. For the non-corded pads, a reusable cable is not available as an accessory.
The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for "Disposable Neutral Electrodes" (K242204). This device is classified as an accessory to electrosurgical cutting and coagulation devices. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K203494) through non-clinical performance testing and comparison of characteristics.
This document does not include information about a study that proves a device meets acceptance criteria related to AI/ML software performance. Specifically, it does not contain information on:
- Acceptance criteria for AI/ML performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, AUC).
- Sample sizes for test sets used to evaluate AI/ML performance.
- Data provenance for AI/ML test sets.
- Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth establishment in an AI/ML context.
- Adjudication methods for AI/ML test sets.
- Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies involving AI assistance.
- Standalone algorithm performance.
- Types of ground truth for AI/ML (e.g., pathology, outcomes data).
- Training set details for AI/ML.
The "Performance Testing" section (page 7) and "Comparison with Predicate Device" section (pages 8-9) refer to engineering and biocompatibility testing for a hardware medical device (neutral electrodes), not AI/ML software.
Therefore,Based on the provided text, I cannot answer your request as it pertains to AI/ML software performance. The document describes the premarket notification for a physical medical device (Disposable Neutral Electrodes) and details the non-clinical testing performed to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness and substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It does not mention any AI/ML components or studies to evaluate AI/ML performance.

Dear Jett Li:
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 (the 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 available 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
{1}------------------------------------------------
Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 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 Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 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 (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule").

Subject Device: Disposable Neutral Electrodes
Note 1 : The subject device has a similar conductive area as compared to the reference device no matter adults, neonates, and children.
The only obvious difference is that the maximum conductive area of the neonates model is larger than that of the predicate device. As is well known to all, when dispersive electrodes with larger areas were used, the maximum temperature decreases. with the areas raised. Also consider that the subject device has passed IEC60601-1, EN60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-2 tests.
Thus, the subject device has same safety features in thermal performance than the reference device, the difference in conductive areas will not affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.
12 Statement of Substantial Equivalence
The Disposable Neutral Electrodes have the same indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics as the predicate devices. Electrosurgical Pads is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate devices.
