Intended Use

The Smith & Nephew Vascular VideoEndoscope is indicated for use in subcutanous endoscopy, specifically for endocopically gaining access to, ligating and/or harvesting vessels within the subcutaneous and subfascial surgical planes in the lower extremities.

Device Description

The proposed Smith & Nephew Vascular VideoEndoscope is designed in an "L" shaped configuration as to have the horizontal optical train and working channel as the part that is introduced into the leg and the vertical shaft as a handle. The connecting cables and tubing are conveniently located far from the leg to minimize any interference with the surgeon's hand movements. The function of the Smith & Neohew Vascular VideoEndoscope is to create and maintain a subfascially working space, provide visualization of the working space, and provide access to hand instruments to the working space. The attachments utilize the same locking feature located on the endoscope which allows the Smith & Nephew Vascular VideoEndoscope to be used as a multi-purpose device.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Smith & Nephew Vascular VideoEndoscope. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than performing a clinical study with detailed performance metrics and acceptance criteria for a new AI-powered diagnostic device. Therefore, the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study details, expert qualifications, and AI-related metrics is largely not available in this document.

However, I can extract the relevant information that is present and indicate where the requested information is absent based on the nature of this regulatory submission.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Not applicable. This document is a 510(k) summary demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not a study reporting specific performance metrics against pre-defined acceptance criteria for a new device.The device is described as "substantially equivalent in design, materials of construction and function and intended use as to the Olympus Endoscopic System for Vessel Harvesting, Smith & Nephew's Images Endoscopes, and Ethicon's EndoPath Ultra Retractor and Vessel Dissector."

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

Not available. This document does not describe a test set or data provenance in the context of device performance evaluation. It is a regulatory submission comparing a new device to existing predicate devices.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not available. This document does not mention experts establishing ground truth for a test set.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not available. No test set or adjudication method is described.

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

Not available. This document does not mention any MRMC study or AI assistance. The device described is a video endoscope, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool.

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

Not applicable. The device is an endoscope, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

Not available. This document does not describe the establishment of a ground truth in the context of device performance.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not available. This document does not describe a training set.

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

Not available. This document does not describe a training set or its ground truth establishment.


Summary of available information from the document:

  • Device Name: Smith & Nephew Vascular VideoEndoscope
  • Intended Use: For use in subcutaneous endoscopy, specifically for endocopically gaining access to, ligating, and/or harvesting vessels within the subcutaneous and subfascial surgical planes in the lower extremities.
  • Predicate Devices:
    • Olympus Endoscopic System for Vessel Harvesting (K963184)
    • Ethicon's EndoPath Ultra Retractor and Vessel Dissector (K973139)
    • Smith & Nephew's Images Endoscopes (K971850)
  • Basis for Clearance: Substantial equivalence to predicate devices in "design, materials of construction and function and intended use."

The document is a 510(k) summary, which is a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate that a device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device. This process typically relies on comparing the new device's technical characteristics and intended use to predicate devices, rather than conducting new clinical performance studies with detailed statistical analyses as would be required for a novel AI/ML device.

Dear Ms. Haselton,

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of November 8, 2001.

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. 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.
