Intended Use

A single use, non-sterile dispersive electrode with or without a pre-attached cord used to adhere to the patient over the entire pad surface to complete the electrosurgical circuit between the generator, the active electrode, and the patient.

Device Description

The E Surgical Patient Return Electrode Dual Plate is a single use, non-sterile disposable electrode with and without a pre-attached cord. The use is to complete an electrical circuit during electrosurgery between the generator, the active electrode, and an adult patient.

AI/ML Overview

Unfortunately, the provided text describes an Electrosurgical Patient Return Electrode, which is a medical device and not an AI/ML-driven device. As such, many of the requested categories related to AI/ML device evaluation (like sample size for test/training sets, experts for ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance, etc.) are not applicable to this type of traditional medical hardware.

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which is a common regulatory pathway for non-AI devices. The performance data presented relates to compliance with established industry standards for thermal safety and biocompatibility.

Therefore, I cannot provide a table with acceptance criteria and reported device performance in the context of an AI/ML device, nor can I fill in the details for AI/ML-specific study design elements.

However, I can extract the relevant performance and compliance information for this traditional device as presented:


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (for a traditional medical device, not AI/ML):

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria/StandardReported Device PerformanceComments
Thermal SafetyANSI/AAMI HF-18 standard Electrosurgical Devices for Dispersive Electrode Thermal Safety and Contact ImpedanceThe E Surgical Pad complies with the ANSI/AAMI HF-18 standard.Demonstrates safety in preventing thermal injury at the return electrode site.
BiocompatibilityISO 10993The pad design is proven safe by compliance to biocompatibility standard ISO 10993.Ensures the device materials are safe for contact with the human body and do not elicit adverse biological responses.
Technological EquivalenceComparable to Valleylab, Inc.'s VL 7600 Dual Pad, REM compatible electrodeThe E Surgical Patient Return Dual Electrode is comparable in design (hydrogel adhesive, acrylic border) and function (compatible with return electrode monitoring generator systems) to the predicate device.Basis for regulatory clearance via substantial equivalence for non-AI devices.

As this is not an AI/ML device, the following points are not applicable and cannot be extracted from the provided text:

  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
  • Adjudication method for the test set
  • If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and its effect size
  • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
  • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
  • The sample size for the training set
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established

Trade/Device Name: E Surgical Electrosurgical Patient Return Electrode, Dual Plate with Cord and Electrosurgical Patient Return Electrode, Dual Plate, Cordless

Regulation Number: 21 CFR 878.4400

Regulation Name: Electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GEI, JOS Dated: January 25, 2006 Received: February 1, 2006

Dear Mr. Ward:

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 (sce 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. 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
