The Gyrus ACMI PK® Button Electrode is a bipolar instrument intended for use in urological surgical procedures involving the ablation or removal of soft tissue and where associated hemostasis is required. The specific urological indication for the PK® Button is transurethral electrovaporization of the prostate (TUVP/TVP) for benign prostatic hypertrophy only. The PK® Button is not to be used to resect tissue.
The proposed PK® Button is a bipolar, sterile/disposable, vaporizing/coagulating electrode) that uses the same Gyrus ACMI PlasmaKinetic™ (PK®) SuperPulse® Generator and footswitch, as the predicate bipolar Plasma V vaporizing/coagulating electrode. The PK® Button is a Frônt Loading Urological Instrument Device (FLUID) that will be front loaded into the reusable Elite USA 1 and 2 resectoscope (cleared under K021166).
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the Gyrus ACMI PK® Button Electrode, which is a medical device. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than conducting a full clinical trial to establish novel acceptance criteria and prove its meeting through a statistical study.
Therefore, many of the requested elements for describing "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" are not directly applicable or explicitly stated in the provided document, as a 510(k) typically relies on bench and animal testing for performance comparison, not large-scale clinical trials with defined acceptance criteria for a new clinical endpoint.
However, based on the information available, here's an attempt to answer as much as possible:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Formal, quantifiable acceptance criteria in the sense of a clinical trial's primary endpoint are not explicitly provided. Instead, the document states that the device's performance was evaluated against the "known tissue vaporization and coagulation performance characteristics of the predicate Plasma V and TURis Button electrodes." The "reported device performance" is that it met these requirements and exhibited comparable performance characteristics.
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Comparable tissue vaporization performance to predicate devices (Plasma V and TURis Button electrodes) | Bench and animal testing demonstrated that the performance requirements were met, and the PK® Button exhibited comparable performance characteristics to both predicates. |
| Comparable tissue coagulation performance to predicate devices (Plasma V and TURis Button electrodes) | Bench and animal testing demonstrated that the performance requirements were met, and the PK® Button exhibited comparable performance characteristics to both predicates. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: Not specified. The document mentions "Bench and animal testing," but does not provide details on the number of samples, animals, or specific experimental runs.
- Data Provenance: The testing was conducted in a lab setting (bench testing) and on animals (animal testing). The country of origin for this data is not specified, but the manufacturer is based in the UK and the submitter in the USA. The testing would be prospective within the context of these specific experimental designs.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable/Not specified. For bench and animal testing comparing device characteristics, "ground truth" as established by experts in a clinical context (e.g., radiologists for imaging) is not relevant. Performance characteristics would be measured objectively (e.g., lesion size, coagulation depth) by qualified laboratory or animal study personnel, whose specific number and qualifications are not detailed here.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in studies involving human interpretation or clinical endpoints. For bench and animal testing of device performance characteristics, the results are typically quantitative and directly measured.
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 device is an electrosurgical electrode and does not involve AI or human "readers" interpreting data. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This question is geared towards AI/software devices. The PK® Button Electrode is a physical electrosurgical tool. Its primary performance is measured in a standalone fashion in bench and animal tests, meaning the device's inherent functional characteristics are evaluated directly, without human "interpretation" of its output in a diagnostic sense.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the performance comparison was the "known tissue vaporization and coagulation performance characteristics" of the predicate devices (Plasma V and TURis Button electrodes). This would have been established through prior testing and understanding of those predicate devices. For the bench and animal tests of the PK® Button, the ground truth would be the measured physical effects on the tissue, such as depth of vaporization or coagulation, as determined by laboratory analysis (e.g., histology of treated tissue).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device. There is no "training set" in the context of developing this medical instrument.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Intended Use
The Gyrus ACMI PK® Button Electrode is a bipolar instrument intended for use in urological surgical procedures involving the ablation or removal of soft tissue and where associated hemostasis is required. The specific urological indication for the PK® Button is transurethral electrovaporization of the prostate (TUVP/TVP) for benign prostatic hypertrophy only. The PK® Button is not to be used to resect tissue.
Product Description
The proposed PK® Button is a bipolar, sterile/disposable, vaporizing/coagulating electrode) that uses the same Gyrus ACMI PlasmaKinetic™ (PK®) SuperPulse® Generator and footswitch, as the predicate bipolar Plasma V vaporizing/coagulating electrode. The PK® Button is a Frônt Loading Urological Instrument Device (FLUID) that will be front loaded into the reusable Elite USA 1 and 2 resectoscope (cleared under K021166).
The purpose of this submission is to demonstrate equivalence to predicate vaporizing/coagulating electrodes and clear the PK® Button electrode for a TUVP indication.
Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence
The PK® Button utilizes features incorporated into the following legally marketed predicate devices:
- o The bipolar PK® Button Electrode connects to the same electrosurgical generator as the predicate Plasma V vaporizing electrode (K990628) and the SuperSect® and SuperLoop® bipolar FLUID electrodes (K031085). Similar to the predicate Plasma V electrode and SuperSect® and SuperLoop, an identification capacitor imbedded in the single use connector cable will be recognized by the generator to set default optimal power output parameters for the subject instrument.
- . The distal tip of the proposed PK® Button electrode has the same button design and uses the same materials as the predicate Olympus TURis Button electrode, (K903323).
{2}------------------------------------------------
Continued ... Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence
- � The PK® Button uses the same patient-contacting materials that are utilized in the predicate devices, as well as other legally marketed devices manufactured by Gyrus ACMI.
- The PK® Button will have the same intended use and similar indications as � the predicate Gyrus ACMI USA Elite System™ Vapor Trode™ Vaporization Electrode that includes: " ... coagulation and vaporization of soft tissue, including prostatic and bladder tissue and the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia ... "
The bipolar vaporization and coagulation performance of the PK® Button were compared against the known tissue vaporization and coagulation performance characteristics of the predicate Plasma V and TURis Button electrodes. Bench and animal testing demonstrated that the performance requirements were met, and that the PK® Button exhibited comparable performance characteristics to both predicates.
In summary, the PK® Button electrode is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and presents no new questions of safety or efficacy.
