Intended Use

The VersaJet™ Hydrosurgery System is intended for wound debridement (acute and chronic wounds, burns), soft tissue debridement, and cleansing of the surgical site in applications in which, in the physicians judgment, require sharp debridement and pulsed lavage irrigation.

Device Description

The VersaJet Hydrosurgery System uses pressurized streams of sterile fluid to cut, ablate and remove tissue and foreign matter from wounds and to resect and remove material in a variety of surgical applications. The device provides cutting, irrigation and evacuation in the same tool. The stream of fluid simultaneously washes the tissue surface and removes foreign material from the wound or surgical site. The stream of saline simultaneously washes the tissue surface and vacuums away foreign material, including contamination and infected and necrotic tissue from the wound. The fluid acts to ablate the surface of the tissue and propel excised tissue and debris out of the surgical site. The debris and fluid are directed immediately within the instrument into a flexible tube, which carries the effluent to the drain or a collection canister. The system employs two basic system components: the reusable power console unit and the sterile, disposable pump cartridge, handpiece and tubing assembly.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and study proving device performance based on the provided text.

The text describes a 510(k) Summary for the VersaJet™ Hydrosurgery System. A 510(k) submission is typically for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not necessarily for proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a dedicated study with pre-defined performance metrics.

Here's why the requested information isn't directly available in the provided text:

  • Acceptance Criteria/Performance Metrics: The document does not define specific quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria (e.g., a certain percentage reduction in bacterial load, a specific time to debridement, or a defined tissue sparing percentage) for the device's performance. It describes the device's function and intended use.
  • Study Design for Performance Proof: The document focuses primarily on comparing the subject device to a predicate device (K011612) and expanding its indications for use to include burn wounds. The "Clinical Literature Review" section refers to two existing external clinical studies/descriptions from Rennekampff et al. and Klein et al. These are cited to support the expanded indication for burn wounds, but they are not presented as a pre-planned, dedicated study designed by Smith & Nephew to prove the device meets specific, pre-defined acceptance criteria for its overall performance.
  • Missing Details for Study Analysis: Consequently, details like sample size for test sets, data provenance, number/qualifications of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, type of ground truth used for performance assessment, or training set specifics are not addressed because the review section is a summary of external literature, not a report of an internal validation study against a pre-defined performance threshold.

In summary, the provided document is a regulatory submission for substantial equivalence and an expanded indication, which often relies on a comparison to a predicate device and existing literature, rather than a detailed report of a new study designed to meet specific, pre-defined acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria and study design based on the information given.

  1. Comparison of Technological Characteristics

There have been no changes to the design of the predicate VersaJet Hydrosurgery System cleared in 510(k) number K011612 and the device in this premarket notification. This submission supports an expansion of the indications for use of the device to include debridement of burn wounds.

    1. Clinical Literature Review
      Rennekampff et al evaluated seventeen patients with burn wound areas of between 0.5% and 5% total body surface (TBSA) involving the face, arm, hand, leg and foot. VersaJet™ was able to sufficiently debride superficial partial thickness and middermal partial thickness wounds for subsequent placement of Biobrane® (Bertek Pharmaceuticals Inc, NC, USA), with successful autografting of deeper partial thickness wounds following excision. In a sub-group of seven of the patients, bacterial analysis of the wound bed was also performed pre- and post-debridement. Of the four wounds exhibiting pre-debridement bacterial load, two showed no growth post-debridement and one showed a reduction in bacterial load from >10° colonyforming units down to only one colony. Of the three wounds with no pre-debridement growth, one showed bacterial growth post-debridement. No post-operative infections or complications were reported. The authors concluded that VersaJet™ may lower the bacterial load in burn wounds and is effective in its ability to debride irregular and complex contours and sparing vital tissue.

Klein et al described their experience of 21 burn patients debrided from January 2003 onwards. This series was later extended and a total of 44 patients (age range 3 months - 83 years) were reported by Klein et al 13. In this cohort, VersaJet™ was used routinely in the excision of eschar from the eyelids, fingers and web spaces as well as being utilized for a variety of other areas such as the scalp, ears, lip and periareola. VersaJet™ was used as an adjunct to Watson and Gouilian knjves or electrocautery, depending on the depth of the remainder of the burn wound. While the learning curve, inefficient excision of farge surfaces and costs associated with the device were noted, no patients required repeat grafting as the result of inadequate excision with VersaJet, and no patients had graft loss as the result of excessive tissue excision. The authors concluded that VersaJet™ is a useful adjunct in burn wound excision.
