2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Pivotal Study Sample Size (Test Set): 72 patients.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the clinical studies. Given that Medigus Ltd. is based in Omer, Israel, and animal studies were conducted in Israel and Germany, it is plausible that the clinical studies were conducted in Israel or potentially multi-nationally. The study appears to be prospective, as patients were followed for a period of six months after the procedure.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Experts

The document does not provide specific details on the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth for the clinical test set (GERD-HRQL scores, PPI use, pH monitoring, adverse event classification). However:

  • The clinical studies involved "a prospective, multi-site clinical trial," implying multiple clinical sites and potentially multiple investigators/clinicians collecting and assessing data.
  • The adverse event assessment mentions events being "considered related to the device" or "not related to the device," suggesting clinical judgment by qualified medical professionals.
  • Outcomes such as GERD-HRQL scores and pH monitoring are objective or semi-objective measures typically assessed and interpreted by medical professionals involved in GERD treatment.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not explicitly detail an adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) for the clinical test set data, especially for subjective assessments or ambiguous cases. Adverse events were "considered" in terms of relation to the device, which implies an assessment process, but the specific methodology is not described.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done for this device. This type of study typically involves multiple human readers evaluating medical images or cases, with and without AI assistance, to measure the impact of AI on reader performance. This device is a surgical stapling system for endoscopic procedures, not an imaging or diagnostic AI tool. The clinical study focused on direct patient outcomes and device performance in a clinical setting.

6. If a Standalone Study Was Done

Yes, a standalone study (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was effectively done for the device's technical aspects:

  • Biocompatibility testing: This is a standalone evaluation of the materials of the device.
  • Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): This assesses the device's consoles and endoscope against international standards, independent of human operation.
  • Mechanical and acoustic testing: This evaluates the manual operation and mechanical performance of the system itself, as well as the acoustic transducer, in isolation.
  • Animal testing: While involving interaction with biological systems, these studies (survival and non-survival, staple longevity) evaluate the device's function and biological response largely in a controlled, non-human clinical setting before human use.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for evaluating the Medigus SRS Endoscopic Stapling System included:

  • Clinical Outcomes Data: For efficacy, this included patient-reported outcomes (GERD-HRQL score), objective physiological measurements (pH monitoring to assess acid exposure), and reduction in PPI use.
  • Clinical Observations/Adverse Event Monitoring: For safety, this involved documentation and classification of adverse events and serious adverse events during patient follow-up, based on clinical assessments by medical professionals.
  • Pathology/Histology: For animal studies, safety and feasibility were evaluated by "macroscopic and histological evaluation of the tissue in the treatment stapled areas."
  • Pre-defined Engineering Standards: For technical performance, ground truth was built upon compliance with specific international standards (e.g., ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, IEC 60601 series for electrical safety and EMC), and internal mechanical/acoustic specifications.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The concept of a "training set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm is not directly applicable here, as the Medigus SRS Endoscopic Stapling System is a medical device, not an AI product. However, if "training set" is meant to refer to developmental or preliminary studies informing the final design and testing, the document mentions:

  • Animal testing: "numerous tests with prototype devices on a porcine model," including survival and non-survival studies and staple longevity up to 13 months. The main GLP animal study used 16 pigs (12 for fundoplication, 4 sham).
  • Initial feasibility study: 6 patients.
  • Pilot study: 13 patients.

These earlier studies would have provided data to refine the device and study design for the pivotal trial.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Similar to point 7, for the "training set" (developmental/preliminary studies):

  • Animal Studies: Ground truth was established through macroscopic and histological evaluation of tissues, observation of survival/non-survival, and assessment of staple longevity. These evaluations would be performed by veterinarians, pathologists, and researchers. The GLP study was performed "in conformity with GLP standards by an external subcontractor."
  • Initial Feasibility and Pilot Clinical Studies: Ground truth was established through clinical observation, patient symptom reporting (e.g., GERD HRQL score), PPI use, and monitoring for adverse events, similar to the pivotal study but on a smaller scale. These would be assessed by the treating clinicians. The pilot study "main success criterion, improvement in GERD HRQL score by 50% or more at six weeks post-procedure," served as a benchmark.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The SRS Endoscopic Stapling System is intended for endoscopic placement of surgical staples in the soft tissue of the esophagus and stomach in order to create anterior partial fundoplication for treatment of symptomatic chronic Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in patients who require and respond to pharmacological therapy.

Technological Characteristics

The Medigus SRS is an Endoscopic Stapling System. The device consists of the following components and accessories:

  • . The flexible endoscope combines a video camera, ultrasound sensor (range finder) and a stapler mechanism. The distal end of the endoscope is capable of retroflexion. The system enables creation of an endoluminally anterior partial fundoplication by stapling together the soft tissue of the fundus (upper part of the stomach) and the esophagus.
  • The endoscopy suite includes the ISL (Insufflation, Suction and Light) console and the CCU . (Camera Control Unit) console.
  • The associated accessories include: .
    • Irrigation bottle with liquids for irrigation of the camera lens l
    • Suction canister for extracting liquids during the procedure .
    • . Silicon tubes for connecting the ISL and other accessories to the endoscope
    • . Disposable air filter of the suction ISL input channel
    • I Overtube for protecting patient's pharynx

Comparison of Technological Characteristics with Predicate Devices

The candidate device and both predicate devices are based on the same technological elements:

  • l Endoscope - used to reach the target tissue
  • I Device inserted through an overtube - to protect the esophagus
  • . Creation of a gastric (or gastroesophageal) plication in close proximity to the gastroesophageal junction - either by the retroflexed device (SRS and EsophyX) or by a retractor (Plicator)
  • l Use of a permanent implant made of titanium (SRS, EPS) or polypropylene (EsophX)
  • Delivery of the elements needed to complete the procedure through the endoscopic device

{2}------------------------------------------------

K120299
Page 3 of 6

  • Visual control of the device's position and orientation before releasing the implant; an ■ ultrasound range-finder provides added positioning accuracy for the SRS system
  • l Use of a mechanical component for positioning and launching the implant: a stylet (EPS, EsophyX) or positioning screws (SRS)
  • . User-controlled mechanical trigger (or knob) to launch the fastener (implant)
  • . Mechanically securing the plication by a permanent implant fastener (SRS and EsophyX) or a sutured bridge (EPS)

The candidate and predicate devices have the same principle of operation, using a device-delivered, permanent implant to secure a plication, intended to create an anatomical fold that will serve as a valve close to the gastroesophageal junction, thereby preventing flow of gastric contents into the esophagus. The unique aspects of SRS are intended to improve the precision of positioning the anvil and cartridge (ultrasound range finder) and the use of staples as fasteners.

The use of staples for permanently attaching soft tissues is a well-established surgical technique. The specific staple used in the SRS System is substantially equivalent to the Auto Suture Surgical Staples manufactured by United States Surgical of Norwalk, Connecticut and cleared by FDA under 510(k) #K013860 on December 19, 2001.

Neither element represents a significant change in the principle of operation or the technological manifestation of the device, and therefore the candidate device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in its technological features.

Performance Data

The following performance data was provided in substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility testing

The biocompatibility evaluation program for the SRS System was based on demonstrating compliance with FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing, May 1, 1995 and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing." The testing program included cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, and pyrogenicity.

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing was conducted on the SRS System, consisting of the ISL console, the CCU console and endoscope. The system complies with the IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-18 and IEC 60601-2-37 standards for safety and the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC,

Mechanical and acoustic testing

Following a detailed risk analysis, a series of mechanical tests concerning the manual operation of the system and its mechanical performance were formulated. The system successfully passed all The acoustic transducer included in the system was tested to its the mechanical tests. specifications.

Animal testing

In the course of the development of the device, Medigus conducted numerous tests with prototype devices on a porcine model. These included survival and non-survival studies, as well as staple longevity for up to 13 months.

All of these experiments were carried out at the Animal Research facility of the Institute for Animal Research, Lahav, Israel, and were authorized, according to the Israeli animal welfare act, by the institutional review board for animal research of the health sciences of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, Israel.

The main animal study was performed in conformity with GLP standards by an external subcontractor (ECON AG Mecklenbureger str. 233 D-23568 Lubeck, Germany). The experiments were conducted at the animal research facilities of the Virchow Institute in Berlin, Germany. The complete study report was submitted in the original IDE (G070138).

In the GLP animal study, 16 pigs underwent endoscopy with the SRS System. Twelve pigs underwent fundoplication, and 4 pigs served as a sham (control) group. There were no procedure related complications or mortality in this study, at 2, 4 and 6 weeks follow-up (4 in pigs in each group).

The safety and feasibility of the Medigus SRS device were evaluated by macroscopic and histological evaluation of the tissue in the treatment stapled areas.

These studies demonstrated that the Medigus SRS® device can safely create an anterior partial fundoplication, equivalent to that which is constructed using conventional laparoscopic or open surgical techniques.

Clinical testing

Clinical testing of the device included an initial feasibility study of 6 patients, a pilot study consisting of 13 patients and a pivotal study of 72 patients.

Pilot Study

All pilot-study patients were treated with the SRS and recovered from the procedure without sequelae. There was one anticipated procedure related adverse event, benign pneumoperitoneum, which resolved spontaneously within 48 hours.

The main success criterion of the pilot study, improvement in GERD HRQL score by 50% or more at six weeks post-procedure, was met by 12 of the 13 subjects, and was very close to 50% (48.3%) in the thirteenth patient. All subjects reduced their PPI use. Twelve of the subjects were off daily PPI and met the secondary success criterion (reduction to < 50%). Eight subjects were off any GERD related medications.

The pilot study suggested that the SRS is comparable to other endoscopic procedures or laparoscopic surgery procedures in terms of safety and effectiveness.

K120299
page 5 of 6

Pivotal Study

In the pivotal study of 72 patients, following the surgical procedure performed by the SRS Endoscopic Stapling System, patients were followed for a period of six months.

Safety

The SRS study reported ten patients with a total of ten serious adverse events. Four events were considered 'mild' in intensity, involving pain and fever. Three events were classified as 'moderate' in intensity, involving pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pneumoperitoneum (all resolved spontaneously). Two events were considered 'severe' in intensity: one involved esophageal perforation (required drainage) and another had suicidal thoughts (non-device/procedure related). The intensity of one SAE that involved GI bleeding and required a transfusion, was not classified. Six of the SAEs were considered related to the device - one definitely (esophageal perforation) and the others possibly. Three events were considered not related to the device. The median time from procedure to SAE was 1.5 days for events related to the device. None of the patients with SAEs required any operation or re-operation.

Adverse events reported in the SRS that occurred in greater that 5% level were postoperative pain or discomfort in 33%, postoperative nausea in approximately 10%, and sore throat in 21%. The adverse events were mild or insignificant in most cases.

The SAE and overall safety profile were similar to the Esophyx predicate device for which two perforations and one bleeding were reported.

The number of AEs was similar to those reported for the EsophyX and Plicator: Three cases of fever were reported in the current study (for 72 patients), similar to the 3 cases of fever reported for EsophyX. There were 23 cases of chest pain (23/72 = 32%) vs. 17% reported for Plicator; whereas abdominal pain was recorded for 44% of the patients for Plicator and 15% of the patients that underwent EsophyX treatment. Sore throat was reported for 15 patients (15/72 = 21%) vs. 15% for Plicator and 8% for EsophyX also reported 7% of nausea events and 4% of dysphaqia, whereas there were no reports of dysphagia in the current study and only 7 (7/72 = 10%) reports of nausea (there were also two reports of vomiting).

In summary, the adverse events and serious adverse events recorded in the study were similar in nature and frequency to those reported for the predicate endoscopic fundoplication systems. Therefore the clinical results reported for this study documented the safety and effectiveness of the SRS system for its intended use.

Efficacy

The primary endpoint for the SRS study focused on the GERD-HRQL score. The study results show that 75% of the patients had a >50% improvement in their GERD-HRQL score off PPI at six months compared to baseline. Hence the study met its primary endpoint with the required 95% confidence level.

The reduction in the median score for the SRS of 23.0 units (from 29.0 to 6.0) represents a 79.3% improvement. This value is almost identical to the result reported by Cadiere et al (1) for the pivotal trial of the EsophyX system (79.2%), and slightly better than the result reported by Von Renteln et al

{5}------------------------------------------------

K120299
page 6 of 6

(2) for the NDO Plicator (76.0%). Therefore, the efficacy of the SRS system in successfully treating chronic symptoms of GERD is similar to the efficacy reported by both predicate devices.

The median value of the percent of time pH < 4.0 decreased from an initial value of 8.3% at baseline to 6.75%. Therefore, the study met its secondary endpoint related to the acid exposure test. A comparison to similar results reported in the literature revealed that the change in the median values for the EsophyX system (1) showed a decrease of 31%, a decrease of 18% for the Plicator (2) with a corresponding decrease of 19% for the SRS system. Hence, the SRS results in reducing the exposure to gastric acids are similar to those reported for the Plicator system and are lower than those reported for the EsophyX system.

In summary, based on the clinical performance as documented in the prospective, multi-site clinical trial, the SRS system was found to have a safety and efficacy profile that are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices.

Substantial Equivalence

The SRS is as safe and effective as the predicate devices - Endoscopic Plication System (and Plicator) by NDO Surgical Inc. and the EsophyX System with EGS SerosaFuse by the EndoGastric The SRS has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological Solutions Inc. characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The minor technological differences between the SRS and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the SRS is as safe and effective as the Endoscopic Plication System and the EsophyX System with EGS SerosaFuse. Thus, the SRS is substantially equivalent.
