Intended Use

The PEAK PlasmaBlade™ TnA Tonsil and Adenoid Tissue Dissection Device is only indicated for cutting and coagulation of soft tissue during otolaryngology (ENT) surgery including adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy (Pharyngeal, Tubal, Palatine).

Device Description

The PEAK PlasmaBlade TnA Tonsil and Adenoid Tissue Dissection Device consists of a handpiece with integrated controls and cable, a shaft with a suction cannula, and two interchangeable tips. The tonsil tip consists of a curved and tapered insulated blade electrode with an opening in the center to allow for the evacuation of smoke and fluids. The adenoid tip consists of a flat, straight insulated blade electrode housed in a plastic tip with a bendable suction lumen that allows for the evacuation of tissue, fluids and smoke. Both tips connect to the suction cannula of the handpiece.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for a medical device and does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets said criteria. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, which is a regulatory pathway for bringing a new device to market.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  2. Sample sizes and data provenance for a test set.
  3. Number of experts and qualifications for ground truth establishment.
  4. Adjudication method.
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study or effect size.
  6. Standalone algorithm performance.
  7. Type of ground truth used.
  8. Sample size for the training set.
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

The text does mention:

  • Performance Data: "Preclinical laboratory and performance tests were executed to ensure the device functioned as intended and met design specifications. Sufficient data were obtained to show that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, and meets safety and effectiveness criteria." However, it does not provide details about these tests, the specific criteria, or the results.
  • Study Type: The device's clearance is based on proving substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices (PEAK PlasmaBlade™ Tissue Dissection Device (K073057) and ArthroCare® ENT Plasma Wands™ (K070374)). This typically involves comparing technological characteristics, intended use, and safety/effectiveness profiles rather than a new clinical efficacy or performance study against predefined quantitative acceptance criteria.

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

K083415 8::20

Technological Characteristics: 6.

The PEAK PlasmaBlade TnA Tonsil and Adenoid Tissue Dissection Device is similar to the predicate devices in that they are all electrosurgical instruments used to cut tissue and coagulate soft tissue, utilizing RF powered distal ends.

7. Performance Data:

Preclinical laboratory and performance tests were executed to ensure the device functioned as intended and met design specifications. Sufficient data were obtained to show that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, and meets safety and effectiveness criteria.

Sterilization: 8.

The PEAK PlasmaBlade TnA Tonsil and Adenoid Tissue Dissection Device is provided sterile. The device is not intended for reuse or resterilization.

の Conclusions:

By virtue of design, materials, function, and intended use, the PEAK PlasmaBlade TnA Tonsil and Adenoid Tissue Dissection Device is substantially equivalent to FDA-cleared devices currently marketed in the United States. In establishing substantial equivalence to the predicate devices, PEAK Surgical evaluated the indications for use, materials incorporated, product specification and energy requirements of those systems.

Dear Ms. Nakayama:

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 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); medical device reporting
