The SurgiQuest™ Elastomeric Optical Trocar and Cannula has applications in abdominal and thoracic minimally invasive surgical procedures to establish a path of entry for endoscopic instruments. The trocar may be used with or without visualization for primary and secondary insertions.
The subject is a surgical trocar and cannula composed of biosafe materials. The device incorporates an expandable elastomer sheath, which serves to hold the cannula vertically in place during endoscopic surgery. The device is used to create and maintain a port of entry during endoscopic surgery. It is fully disposable and is intended for single use only.
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the SurgiQuest™ Elastomeric Optical Trocar & Cannula. However, it does not include detailed acceptance criteria or a comprehensive study report with specific performance metrics that would allow for the construction of the requested table. The "TESTING" section is very brief and general.
Therefore, I cannot fully complete the table and the requested information points. Based on the limited information, here's what can be extracted and what is missing:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Maintain position within abdominal wall during laparoscopic surgery | "The device has been tested to show its ability to adequately maintain its position within the abdominal wall during laparoscopic surgery." (No specific quantitative metric or threshold provided) |
| Insertion forces substantially equivalent to predicate devices | "bench top and animal testing has confirmed that insertion and removal forces are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices." (No specific quantitative metric or threshold provided) |
| Removal forces substantially equivalent to predicate devices | "bench top and animal testing has confirmed that insertion and removal forces are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices." (No specific quantitative metric or threshold provided) |
Missing Information for Table: The document does not provide specific acceptance thresholds (e.g., "maintain position with less than X mm of displacement," "insertion force within Y% of predicate"). It also doesn't provide the actual measured performance values that were achieved in the tests, only a qualitative statement of equivalence.
Regarding the study details:
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size (Test Set): Not specified. The document mentions "bench top and animal testing" but gives no numbers for either.
- Data Provenance: Not specified (e.g., country of origin). The testing included "bench top and animal testing," indicating it was likely prospective testing, but no further details are given.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not applicable. This device is a surgical instrument, not an AI or diagnostic imaging device that would require expert-established ground truth in the traditional sense. Performance is assessed through physical and mechanical testing.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable. This concept is for diagnostic studies with human interpretation, not for evaluating the mechanical performance of a surgical instrument.
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 applicable. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device. The testing described ("bench top and animal testing") is a standalone performance evaluation of the physical device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- For the physical properties, the "ground truth" would be established by objective measurements against engineering specifications and comparison to the predicate devices' known performance. The document doesn't detail the specific methods or standards used to define this "ground truth" (e.g., "position maintained" might be measured against a predefined displacement limit, and "forces" against a range from predicate devices).
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This is not an AI device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable. This is not an AI device.
Summary of Limitations:
The provided 510(k) summary (K063859) is a regulatory document confirming substantial equivalence to predicate devices for a physical medical instrument. It focuses on declaring that testing was performed and that the results show equivalence. It does not provide the detailed quantitative study results, specific acceptance criteria thresholds, or methodology that would be expected in a scientific publication or a more detailed technical report for an AI/diagnostic device. The information required for many of your points is simply not present in this type of regulatory summary for this kind of device.

Dear Kourosh Azarbarzin:
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 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 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
