Intended Use

Intended for use in patients requiring endoscopic surgery for general urological tissue resection, ablation, and excision and hemostasis of blood vessels. These procedures include Bladder Tumor Diagnosis and Resection, Transurethral Prostatic and Bladder Biopsy, Transurethral Prostatic Resection, Removal of Ureteral Calculus, and Treatment of Vesical Neck Constriction.

Device Description

The Vista CTR Bipolar Loop Electrode is a double loop bipolar electrosurgical device, designed to work with currently marketed Electrosurgery Systems. These systems consist of an electrosurgical generator (the Controller), a reusable or disposable Cable (Bipolar Active Cord) and a Bipolar Resectoscope System.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "ACMI Vista CTR Bipolar Loop Electrode." This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than conducting new clinical studies with defined acceptance criteria and performance metrics commonly seen in software or AI/ML device submissions.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert involvement, adjudication methods, or specific study designs (MRMC or standalone).

Here's why the requested information isn't present in this document:

  • Device Type: This is a physical electrosurgical device, not a software or AI/ML-based device that would typically involve performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or the impact of AI on human reader performance.
  • Regulatory Pathway: A 510(k) submission primarily demonstrates that a new device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device. This is often achieved through comparative testing (e.g., bench testing, material compatibility) and a review of intended use and technological characteristics, not necessarily through clinical studies with quantifiable performance metrics against a defined standard.
  • Focus of this specific 510(k): This particular submission is a "Special 510(k)" which proposes modifications (materials, packaging, sterilization, labeling) to an existing device. It explicitly states that "The indications for use, principles of operation, of the Vista CTR Bipolar Loop Electrode remain the same as in the predicate devices. The proposed modifications... are not substantial changes or modifications, and do not significantly affect the safety or efficacy of the devices." This means the focus is on showing the modifications don't negatively impact the established performance, rather than proving new performance criteria.

In summary, the provided text does not describe a study that establishes acceptance criteria and then proves the device meets those criteria in the way a performance study for a diagnostic or AI-driven device would.

510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness ACMI Corporation ACMI VISTA CTR BIPOLAR LOOP ELECTRODE (Page 2 of 2)

Product Description

The Vista CTR Bipolar Loop Electrode is a double loop bipolar electrosurgical device, designed to work with currently marketed Electrosurgery Systems. These systems consist of an electrosurgical generator (the Controller), a reusable or disposable Cable (Bipolar Active Cord) and a Bipolar Resectoscope System.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness

This Special 510(k) proposes a modification in two materials of the electrode, a change in the packaging, sterilization method, and a change in the labeling to indicate the new sterilization method. The indications for use, principles of operation, of the Vista CTR Bipolar Loop Electrode remain the same as in the predicate devices.

The proposed modifications for the Vista CTR Bipolar Loop Electrode, as described in this submission, are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The proposed modification in materials, packaging, sterilization, and labeling are not substantial changes or modifications, and do not significantly affect the safety or efficacy of the devices.

Dear Mr. Muraca:

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 additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

{3}------------------------------------------------

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 predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
