The NanoKnife System with six outputs is indicated for the surgical ablation of soft tissue.

Device Description

The NanoKnife System transmits low energy direct current (LEDC) energy from the Generator to Electrode Probes placed in a target area for the surgical ablation of soft tissue. The NanoKnife System includes multiple components. The first component of the system is the Generator. The Generator operates outside of the sterile field and consists of an LCD Display, Console. Power Unit and Power Cord situated on a wheeled trolley and a Double Footswitch/Foot Pedal. The last component of the NanoKnife System is the sterile, single-use, disposable Electrode Probe. The NanoKnife System has the same device configuration as the Oncobionic System with 6 Probe Output (K080202) with minor design modifications to the hardware componentry and software. The range of parameters, pulse amplitude and pulse length, have been narrowed, a third option to the unsynchronized pulse per minute has been added, and touch screen capability in the GUI have been provided to the end user. The fundamental operating principle and design of the NanoKnife System is identical to the Oncobionics predicate devices.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text contains information about the NanoKnife® System's 510(k) premarket notification. However, it does not include details about acceptance criteria, specific device performance metrics, or a study designed to prove the device meets acceptance criteria. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through bench testing, rather than reporting on clinical performance against specific metrics.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  • Sample size used for the test set or data provenance.
  • Number of experts or their qualifications for establishing ground truth.
  • Adjudication method.
  • MRMC comparative effectiveness study results or effect size.
  • Standalone performance.
  • Type of ground truth used.
  • Sample size for the training set.
  • How ground truth for the training set was established.

The document explicitly states:

  • Substantial Equivalence: "The NanoKnife System is substantially equivalent to its predecessors... The NanoKnife System is a modified version of these predicate devices..." (Page 1, Section "PREDICATE DEVICE")
  • Testing: "All necessary bench testing was conducted on the NanoKnife System to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The bench testing verifies that the NanoKnife System meets all the specified performance specifications and thus, is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices." (Page 1, Section "TESTING IN SUPPORT OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION")

This indicates that the submission relied on bench testing to show that the new device's technical specifications met those of the predicate devices, thereby establishing substantial equivalence. It does not provide data from a study measuring the device's clinical performance against pre-defined acceptance criteria relevant to its intended use (surgical ablation of soft tissue).

SECTION 5 510(k) SUMMARY (CONT.)

PREDICATE DEVICE

The NanoKnife System is substantially equivalent to its predecessors, the Oncobionic System with 6 Probe Output (K080202) and the Oncobionic System (K080376). The NanoKnife System is a modified version of these predicate devices that has the same device configuration as the Oncobionic System with 6 Probe Output (K080202). The NanoKnife System includes singleuse, disposable Electrode Probes that are substantially equivalent to those utilized by the predicate devices.

INTENDED USE

The NanoKnife System with six outputs is indicated for the surgical ablation of soft tissue.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The NanoKnife System includes multiple components. The first component of the system is the Generator. The Generator operates outside of the sterile field and consists of an LCD Display, Console. Power Unit and Power Cord situated on a wheeled trolley and a Double Footswitch/Foot Pedal. The last component of the NanoKnife System is the sterile, single-use, disposable Electrode Probe. The NanoKnife System has the same device configuration as the Oncobionic System with 6 Probe Output (K080202) with minor design modifications to the hardware componentry and software. The range of parameters, pulse amplitude and pulse length, have been narrowed, a third option to the unsynchronized pulse per minute has been added, and touch screen capability in the GUI have been provided to the end user. The fundamental operating principle and design of the NanoKnife System is identical to the Oncobionics predicate devices.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The indications for use for the NanoKnife System are identical to the indications for use for the predicate devices. The design modifications included in this 510(k) premarket notification do not affect the currently cleared intended use or indications for use or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the predicate devices. Therefore, the NanoKnife System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

TESTING IN SUPPORT OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION

All necessary bench testing was conducted on the NanoKnife System to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The bench testing verifies that the NanoKnife System meets all the specified performance specifications and thus, is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

SUMMARY

The NanoKnife System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Kit Cariquitan:

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.
