Intended Use

The intended use of the Spacemaker® Serial Surgical Balloon Dissector is the same as the predicate devices (K944418, K951878). The intended use of the Spacemaker® Serial Surgical Balloon Dissector and the predicate devices is to dissect layers of connective tissue along natural planes of separation. The cannula portion of the device is intended to provide access for operative and diagnostic instruments for the duration of the operative procedure.

Indications: Any area of the body where it is necessary to separate the layers of connective tissue for surgical access.

Examples where surgical dissection of natural tissue planes can provide surgical access: General, laparoscopic, endoscopic, plastic and reconstructive, including aesthetic surgery and vascular use for the exposure of superficial veins of the upper and/or lower extremities; no arterial nor deep nor non-extremity structure would be targeted.

Device Description

The Spacemaker® Serial Surgical Balloon Dissector device is a disposable, handheld, manually manipulated surgical balloon dissection device consists of a balloon, center rod, handle, and suction/fill assembly. The device can be supplied either with a solid center rod or with a hollow center rod. The hollow center rod allows for the insertion of an endoscopic visualization accessory, if desired. Both versions can be inflated and deflated multiple times during a procedure.

The device can be supplied with or without a cannula. The cannula provides access for operative and diagnostic instrumentation for the duration of the surgical procedure.

This submission seeks clearance for the Spacemaker® Serial Surgical Balloon Dissector to be supplied in four configurations as follows:

Spacemaker® Serial Surgical Balloon Dissector, Class II
Spacemaker® Serial Surgical Balloon Dissector with Cannula, Class II
Spacemaker® Serial Surgical Balloon Dissector with Visualization, Class II
Spacemaker® Serial Surgical Balloon Dissector with Visualization and Cannula, Class II

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the Spacemaker® Serial Surgical Balloon Dissector, a manual surgical device, and its comparison to predicate devices for its 510(k) submission.

Based on the provided text, the device itself is a physical surgical tool and not an AI/ML powered device. Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI performance, ground truth, and expert evaluation are not applicable. The information focuses on bench testing for safety and efficacy in relation to material and function changes.

Here's a breakdown of the available information:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly state acceptance criteria in a quantitative manner for specific performance metrics of the device itself (e.g., dissection time, precision of dissection). Instead, the performance verification is centered around demonstrating that modifications do not affect the safety or efficacy compared to predicate devices. The key "performance" aspect highlighted is the ability for multiple balloon inflations per procedure (a new feature) and the biocompatibility of new materials.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Safety & EfficacyModifications do not affect safety or efficacy compared to predicate devices.
Material BiocompatibilityNew material (silicone) meets biocompatibility test requirements as defined in ANSI/AAMI 10993-1 (ISO 10993-1).
Balloon InflationsDesigned for and capable of multiple inflations per procedure (a change from single inflation in predicate devices).

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document mentions "performance bench tests." It does not specify the sample size for these bench tests, nor does it provide information on the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This section is not applicable as the device is a manual surgical tool and the tests described are bench tests, not clinical evaluations requiring expert ground truth for interpretation of outcomes.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This is not applicable as there is no human interpretation or adjudication described for the bench tests.

5. 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

This is not applicable as the device is not an AI/ML powered tool and therefore no MRMC study would be relevant.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This is not applicable as the device is a manual surgical tool, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

For the biocompatibility testing, the "ground truth" is defined by the ANSI/AAMI 10993-1 (ISO 10993-1) standard. For the overall safety and efficacy, the "ground truth" is the performance of the predicate devices. The testing aims to show non-inferiority based on bench test results.

8. The sample size for the training set

This is not applicable as the device is a manual surgical tool and does not employ AI/ML that would require a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This is not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

Testing in Support of Substantial Equivalence Determination 10.9

Results of performance bench tests verify that the modifications do not affect the safety or efficacy of the Spacemaker® Serial Surgical Balloon Dissector compared to the predicate devices.

There is one material used in the Spacemaker® Serial Surgical Balloon Dissector (which was not used in the predicate devices). The remainder of the materials were used in the predicate devices. The material (a well known and commonly used silicone) meets the biocompatibility test requirements as defined in ANSI/AAMI 10993-1 (ISO 10993-1).
