Intended Use

The Patton Tripol™ is intended for use in open and laparoscopic surgeries where grasping, coagulating, and transecting of tissue is indicated.

Device Description

The Patton Tripol™ is a forceps that grasps, coagulates, and transects tissue, utilizing electrical current. The device is compatible with available bipolar generators.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Patton Tripol™ Bipolar Forceps. It does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/ML medical device.

The document describes a medical device (bipolar forceps) that grasps, coagulates, and transects tissue using electrical current. The submission is focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices (Dexide Bipolar Forceps II+ Device and Bicoag Coagulating Forceps).

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the provided text, as it pertains to a traditional medical device submission and not to an AI/ML device study.

Here's why each point cannot be addressed:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not present. Substantial equivalence claims for traditional devices often rely on material properties, design comparisons, and functional testing, not statistical performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity against a ground truth.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. There's no "test set" in the context of an AI/ML model.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for an AI/ML model is not relevant here.
  4. Adjudication method: Not applicable.
  5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: Not applicable. This type of study is for evaluating human performance with and without AI assistance.
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. There is no algorithm.
  7. The type of ground truth used: Not applicable.
  8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no training set for an AI/ML model.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Dear Mr. Patton:

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 (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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), 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 898.
