Device Description

The Applied Laparoscopic Disposable Monopolar Scissors consists of a ratcheting handle attached to an insulated shaft with scissor blades. The handle includes male cautery connector to be utilized for monopolar cautery when attached to standard monopolar cautery cables and their generators. The scissor blade length is 17.4mm and the blade opening is 5.59mm and will be available in working lengths of 32cm, and 45cm. The device is to be supplied sterile in single unit pouches.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the premarket notification (510(k)) for the Applied Laparoscopic Disposable Monopolar Scissors. The study conducted was a substantial equivalence comparison to a predicate device, not a multi-reader, multi-case comparative effectiveness study or a standalone algorithm performance study. Therefore, some requested information regarding AI-specific studies (e.g., effect size of human readers with AI, training set details, and ground truth establishment for training) is not applicable to this submission.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

The document describes bench testing and design analysis for various functional characteristics and dimensional comparisons. It does not specify a "test set" in terms of patient data or clinical cases. The testing was conducted on the physical device itself. Therefore, information on sample size for a "test set" in the context of clinical data or data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not applicable or provided.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications:

Not applicable. The study involved engineering and performance testing of a medical device, not the interpretation of medical images or clinical data requiring expert reviewers for ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable. As described above, this study did not involve expert review or adjudication of a test set of medical cases.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance:

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This 510(k) submission is for a surgical instrument, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive technology. Therefore, there is no discussion of human reader improvement with or without AI assistance.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:

No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This submission pertains to a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

The "ground truth" for this device's performance was established through engineering specifications, regulatory standards (e.g., ISO 10993, ANSI/AAMI HF-18, AAMI FDS-1 TIR 27 2001), and direct functional testing against these predefined criteria, as well as comparison to the predicate device's established performance. Metrics such as dielectric withstand, cutting force, monopolar energy delivery, and dimensional accuracy served as the "ground truth" for evaluating the device.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This submission is for a physical medical device and does not involve an AI algorithm with a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

Not applicable. As there is no AI algorithm with a training set, the concept of establishing ground truth for a training set is not relevant to this submission.

The Applied Laparoscopic Monopolar Scissors is intended for use INTENDED USE: in general and gynecologic endoscopic procedures for mobilization and transection of tissue.

TECHNOLOGY CHARACTERISTICS: The Applied Laparoscopic Disposable Monopolar Scissor

SUMMARY STATEMENT:

The Applied Laparoscopic Disposable Monopolar Scissors is designed to for a variety of general and gynecologic endoscopic procedures for mobilization and transection of tissue. The Applied Laparoscopic Disposable Monopolar Scissors consists of a ratcheting handle attached to an insulated shaft with scissor blades.

{1}------------------------------------------------

The handle includes male cautery connector to be utilized for monopolar cautery when attached to standard monopolar cautery cables and their generators.

The scissor blade length is 17.4mm and the blade opening is 5.59mm and will be available in working lengths of 32cm, and 45cm. The device is to be supplied sterile in single unit pouches.

The device is in compliance with ISO 10993 for Biocompatibility. The Applied Laparoscopic Disposable Monopolar Scissors will be sterilized using a Cobalt 60 Gamma Radiation; AAMI/ISO Guideline for Radiation Sterilization will be utilized to provide a Sterility Assurance Level of 10°. The method of validation is AAMI FDS-1 TIR 27 2001 Radiation sterilization - Substantiation of 25 kGy as sterilization dose - Method VDMax. The validated does is 25 to 40 kGy.

The device is identical in materials and characteristics of the predicate device, with the exception of the insulated shaft. The predicate device utilized thermoplastic shrink tubing and the new device utilizes thermoplastic extruded tubing. The energy source, Monopolar Electrosurgical Energy, is the same energy type as used for the predicate device.

Design Analysis and comparisons, as well as bench testing, has been conducted to confirm the functional characteristics are substantially equivalent to the predicate device cited, and that the design output put mects the design input requirements.

The performance of the Applicd Laparoscopic Disposable Monopolar Scissors is compared to the performance of the Applied Medical Laparoscopic Monopolar Scissors, which is cleared to market under premarket notification, K040295. Functional Performance Testing conducted includes the performance of the following tests:

  • a) Dielectric Withstand Testing per ANSI/AAMI HF-18: 2001
  • b) Cutting Functionality Test
  • c) Monopolar Functionality Test
  • d) Dimensional Comparison

Conclusion: Based upon the technical information, intended use, and performance information provided in the pre-market notification, the Applied Laparoscopic Disposable Monopolar Scissors and the Applied Laparoscopic Monopolar Scissor (K040295) has shown to be substantially equivalent, and the design control process confirm the that design outputs mects the design input requirements.
