Intended Use

The Gyrus ACMI PK® Button Electrode is a bipolar instrument intended for use in urological electrosurgical procedures involving the ablation or removal of soft tissue and where associated hemostasis is required. The specific urological indication for the PK® Button device is Transurethral Vaporization of the prostate (TUVP/TVP) for benign prostatic hypertrophy, and for Transurethral Vaporization of bladder tumors. The PK® Button is not to be used to resect tissue.

Device Description

The PK® (PlasmaKinetic) electrodes works by exploiting the electrically conductive properties of saline irrigating fluid and wet tissue at the operative site to form a conductive field. Energy is delivered from the Generator, through the proposed electrode, and to the operative site when the footswitch is activated. The proposed electrode is used through a resectoscope to reach the operative site. Irrigating fluid (saline) exits the resectoscope via the attached continous flow sheath and wets the tissue at the operative site prior to the use of the proposed electrode. RF energy is conducted through the irrigating field to the tissue to vaporize and/or coagulate the tissue.

The PK® Button Electrode has a button shaped distal tip with connecting arms, with an electrode shaft, and connector cable at the proximal end. The single use Gyrus ACMI PK® Button Electrode will be provided sterile and packaged with a single use electrical connector cable. The distal end of the connector cable is secured to the working element of the Gyrus ACMI Elite Resectoscope (K.021166). A three pin plug on the proximal end of the cable connector is secured to the generator. An ID capacitor molded into the connector cable allows the generator to use its instrument recognition feature to automatically configure the system for optimal safe performance with the Gyrus ACMI PK® Button Electrode. This is the identical technology used in the predicate devices, including (K093181 and K102781).

Like the predicate K093181, and K102781 the distal tip of the electrode is a Stainless Steel 304 button measuring 3.16mm in diameter. Two Pt-Ir 70%-30% wires are welded, formed and drawn into the return arms to connect to the active wire. At the distal tip, the Pt-Ir 70%-30% arms are insulated with PVDF heat shrink and then clad with PTFE sleeve. The PVDF insulated Pt-Ir 70%-30% wires are threaded through the ceramic tubes and then through the return loop arm assembly. The gap between the ceramic-return tube and ceramic-PVDF insulation are sealed with Epo-Tek (an epoxy-resin) to form a watertight seal. The distal tip and the return tubes assembly are known to have direct contact with patient during use.

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) premarket notification for the Gyrus ACMI PK® Button Electrode does not contain the specific details of a study with acceptance criteria and reported device performance in the format requested. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing a detailed performance study with quantitative acceptance criteria.

The key points from the provided text regarding device performance are:

  • Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence: The document states, "The bipolar vaporization and coagulation performance of the PK® Button is identical to the known tissue vaporization and coagulation performance characteristics of the predicate PK® Button electrode, as it is the exact same device." It also mentions, "Bench and animal testing in predicate submissions demonstrated that the performance requirements were met."
  • No new risks: "the current risk analysis was reviewed and there were no new risks identified by expanding the indication that were not already covered in the original risk analysis."

Given these statements, the "study" proving the device meets acceptance criteria is primarily an argument of its identity and equivalence to previously cleared devices which have already demonstrated safe and effective performance.

Therefore, the following information is based on the provided text, and where specific data is absent (e.g., sample size, expert qualifications), it's noted as "Not specified in the document."

watertight seal. The distal tip and the return tubes assembly are known to have direct contact with patient during use.

The proposed device is identical to the existing PK Button K093181. and of the same fundamental scientific technology as the predicate HF Resection/Vaporization electrode K102781. The distal tip of the electrodes are identical (304 SS), the connector arms are identical (Pt-Ir 70%-30%), and the Electrode sleeve is also identical (PTFE). The predicate K10281 device has no additional design features/functions that make it safer and/or more effective than the proposed device for transurethral vaporization of bladder turnors. The devices are of the same design, and same fundamental scientific technology. There are no new risks created or identified by expanding the indications for use on the proposed device to match that of the predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The proposed PK® Button utilizes features incorporated into the following legally marketed predicate devices:

  • The proposed PK® Button Electrode connects to the same electrosurgical . generator as the predicate PK® Button Electrode, and predicate Olympus HF Resection/Vaporization Electrode.
  • An identification capacitor is imbedded in the single use connector cable and will . be recognized by the generator to set default optimal power output parameters for the subject instrument
  • The PK® Button uses the same patient-contacting materials that are utilized in the . predicate devices.

The PK® Button will have the same intended use and similar indications as the predicate PK Button Electrode (K093181) with the addition of " and Transurethral Vaporization of bladder tumors". The predicate Olympus HF Resection Electrodes (K102781) already has this additional indication, and has the same intended use, design, and scientific technology as the proposed device.

The bioolar vaporization and coagulation performance of the PK® Button is identical to the known tissue vaporization and coagulation performance characteristics of the predicate PK® Button electrode, as it is the exact same device. Althouugh the predicate PK Button lacks the transurethral vaporization of bladder tumors indication it was selected to demonstrate the device is currently on the market, and cleared for use by the FDA via K093181. The proposed device is also of the same design and scientific technology as the predicate Olympus HF-Resection Electrodes (K102781), which carries a transurethral vaporization of bladder tumors, the proposed devices desired indication. In addition, the PK® SuperPulse® Generator is the same generator that provides bipolar energy to the currently marketed predicate PK® Button Electrode (K093181) and the currently marketed Olympus HF-Resection Electrodes (K102781). Bench and animal
