Intended Use

The KSEA C.C.L. Vaginal Extractor and accessories are intended for use by qualified surgeons in tissue extraction procedures during laparoscopic surgery. The C.C.L. Vaginal Extractor is indicated for women undergoing laparoscopic surgery and intended for vaginal extraction of tissue masses as large as 6-7 cm from the peritoneal cavity, following an intra-abdominal peritoneal culdotomy at the posterior vaginal fornix.

Device Description

The KSEA C.C.L. Vaginal Extractor are manual reusable surgical devices (used with the KSEA Extraction Bag and KSEA Take-apart® Rotating Claw Forceps). The KSEA C.C.L. Vaginal Extractor is intended for use by qualified surgeons in tissue extraction procedures during laparoscopic surgery. The body contact materials are surgical grade stainless steel, HPDE, PTFE, Ultem® and polyurethane film. The non-body contact materials of the C.C.L. Vaginal Extractor are surgical grade stainless steel.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary is for a manual surgical device (KSEA C.C.L. Vaginal Extractor), not an AI/ML-driven device. As such, the information typically required for describing the acceptance criteria and the study proving an AI/ML device meets them (such as sample sizes for test and training sets, expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, standalone performance, etc.) is not applicable to this submission.

The 510(k) process for a device like the KSEA C.C.L. Vaginal Extractor focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on its intended use, design, materials, and technological characteristics, rather than performance metrics derived from AI/ML algorithms.

The summary clearly states:

  • Substantial Equivalence: "The KSEA C.C.L. Vaginal Extractor for tissue extraction procedures during laparoscopic surgery are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices since the basic features, design and intended uses are similar. The minor differences in design and dimensions between the KSEA C.C.L. Vaginal Extractor and the predicate devices raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness, as these design differences have no effect on the performance, function or intended use of these devices."

Therefore, the study proving the device meets its acceptance criteria would typically involve:

  • Bench testing: To ensure mechanical integrity, material compatibility, and functional performance (e.g., ability to grasp, extract tissue) meeting engineering specifications.
  • Biocompatibility testing: To demonstrate that the materials are safe for body contact.
  • Sterilization validation: To ensure the device can be effectively sterilized for repeated use.
  • Usability testing: To confirm ease of use by qualified surgeons.

These types of studies are generally documented internally by the manufacturer and summarized for the FDA to support the substantial equivalence claim, but they do not involve the statistical performance metrics and expert review processes characteristic of AI/ML device validation.

None of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria for AI/ML performance, study methodology for AI, or ground truth establishment for AI models is present in the provided documents because it is not relevant to this type of device submission.

Mr. Kevin Kennan Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist Karl Storz Endoscopy-America, Inc. 600 Corporate Pointe Culver City, California 90230-7600

Dear Mr. Kennan:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, subject to the general controls provisions of the general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbrantion.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed prodicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitto diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613.
