Intended Use

To electrically connect monopolar/bipolar electrosurgical instruments to an electrosurgical generator.

Device Description

Sutter Electrosurgical Cables are electrosurgical accessories designed to transfer electrosurgical power to monopolar and bipolar instruments from an electrosurgical generator. The cables are designed to fit standard monopolar/bipolar instruments and generator connectors. Sutter Electrosurgical Cables are supplied non-sterile, and can be reused after cleaning and steam sterilization.

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) summary is for electrosurgical cables, which are accessories for a medical device. The document states that the cables were validated through "testing that supports the compliance of the devices to the Standards mentioned in Section 17 of this submission." However, the provided text does not contain Section 17, nor does it detail specific acceptance criteria or the reported device performance in a quantifiable manner. It primarily asserts substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on design concepts, technologies, and materials, and general safety and effectiveness claims.

Therefore, much of the requested information cannot be extracted from the provided text.

Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be answered:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated in the provided text. The submission refers to "Standards mentioned in Section 17," which is not included.
  • Reported Device Performance: Not explicitly stated in the provided text in a quantifiable manner (e.g., specific thresholds or measurements). The conclusion states: "Testing demonstrates that these devices are as safe, as effective, and perform as well as or better than the legally marketed devices."

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size: Not specified.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified. The submitter is "Sutter Medezintechnik GmbH, Tullastrasse 87, 79108 Freiburg Germany," suggesting the testing might have occurred in Germany, but this is not explicitly stated as the provenance of the test data. The submission also states the cables are "supplied non-sterile, and can be reused after cleaning and steam sterilization," which implies certain sterilization validation tests would have occurred, but details are not provided.

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/Not mentioned. This type of information is typically relevant for studies involving subjective interpretation of medical images or clinical outcomes, which is not the case for electrosurgical cables. Testing for such devices usually involves engineering and performance standards.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable/Not mentioned. This is typically used in clinical studies with human assessors.

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-enabled device.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI-enabled device. This refers to the performance of the electrosurgical cables themselves in a simulated or actual use environment according to engineering standards. The document only generically states "testing," without providing specifics of whether it was standalone performance or involved human components of a system.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Not applicable in the human interpretation sense. For electrosurgical cables, "ground truth" would likely refer to established engineering performance standards (e.g., electrical conductivity, insulation integrity, mechanical strength, biocompatibility, sterilization efficacy) as defined by the "Standards mentioned in Section 17." The document explicitly states "Sutter Electrosurgical Cables were validated through testing that supports the compliance of the devices to the Standards mentioned in Section 17 of this submission."

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI-enabled device that uses a "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI-enabled device that uses a "training set."

Summary of available information:

The provided 510(k) summary for Sutter Electrosurgical Cables primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It states that "Sutter Electrosurgical Cables were validated through testing that supports the compliance of the devices to the Standards mentioned in Section 17 of this submission." However, the specific details of these standards, the acceptance criteria derived from them, and the quantitative performance results are not included in the provided text. The document asserts that "Testing demonstrates that these devices are as safe, as effective, and perform as well as or better than the legally marketed devices."

Dear Mr. Boone:

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 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.
