Modifications include: - Modification to the Superpulse® software to add an additional instrument . band to allow the connection of a TURis specific connector cable.Addition of a saline monitoring facility to ensure that energisation is only applied to the TURis connector cable when a saline environment is sensed.Modification to User Manual to cover the above changes
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on modifications to existing electrosurgical equipment and software for instrument compatibility and saline monitoring, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is described as an electrosurgical system for ablation, removal, resection, and coagulation of soft tissue, which are surgical procedures, not therapeutic applications.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is intended for "ablation, removal, resection and coagulation of soft tissue," which describes therapeutic rather than diagnostic actions.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "System Generator" and modifications to it, indicating hardware components are involved. The software modifications are described as enabling the use of specific hardware (resectoscopes and connector cables) and sensing a saline environment, further confirming it's not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "ablation, removal, resection and coagulation of soft tissue... in open, endoscopic and laparoscopic surgical procedures." This describes a surgical device used directly on the patient's body for treatment, not a device used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details modifications to a generator and software to support surgical instruments (resectoscopes and electrodes) and ensure operation in a saline environment. This further reinforces its use in a surgical setting.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, performing tests on specimens, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro analysis.

Therefore, the Gyrus ACMI PK® Superpulse® System is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The technical risk for the software release is low. This is because the project is replicating a feature already available on the Olympus UES-40 generator; information about the implementation of this feature is readily available. The performance of the saline detection feature should be such that it operates in a similar manner to that of the existing Olympus UES-40 generator used for TURis accessories. The power level used to sense the impedance is to be kept similar to the same low level as the UES-40 as this has been clinically accepted in the marketplace.

The target applications and intended use for the PK® Superpulse® System Generator with the new software are unchanged from the previously marketed PK® Superpulse® System.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

A new ID band has been assigned for a new instrument connection cable that will support the range of Olympus TURis instruments (The name TURis is derived from transurethral resection in saline).

Default settings and adjustments will be available to all Olympus TURis instruments connected to this TURis cable. The default settings and range of adjustment for these instruments have been provided by OWI (Olympus Winter und Ibe) located in Hamburg, Germany.

A new saline detection feature will be incorporated in the SuperPulse® software to ensure that saline is present before activation will be allowed to occur with Olympus TURis electrodes.

Continued...Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The technical risk for the software release is low. This is because the project is replicating a feature already available on the Olympus UES-40 generator; information about the implementation of this feature is readily available. The performance of the saline detection feature should be such that it operates in a similar manner to that of the existing Olympus UES-40 generator used for TURis accessories. The power level used to sense the impedance is to be kept similar to the same low level as the UES-40 as this has been clinically accepted in the marketplace.

The purpose of the saline detection feature is to prevent activation in non-approved irrigants other than saline (e.g. glycine) that are typically used in monopolar based urology procedures. The saline detection facility will result in a warning message if the impedance of the tissue / saline is sensed above a fixed threshold. The new feature will be specific to the Olympus TURis band and existing alternative non-TURis product performance will be unchanged.

The proposed Gyrus ACMI PK® SuperPulse® System will have the same indications for use as the existing/predicate and its intended use will differ only in that it will be intended to support the additional Olympus TURis cable and electrodes. In summary, the PK® SuperPulse® System Generator is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and presents no new questions of safety or efficacy.

Dear Mr. Baillie:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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 (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.
