The DePuy Mitek VAPR Electrodes for use with the VAPR System are intended for resection, , ablation, excision of soft tissue, hemostasis of blood vessels and coagulation of soft tissue in patients requiring arthroscpic surgery of the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, elbow and wrist.
The VAPR system is electrosurgical system that utilizes bipolar technology specifically designed to provide a range of arthroscopic surgical treatments including soft tissue ablation, cutting and coagulation and temperature control. The VAPR system includes a generator, electrodes which facilitate access and control the delivery of energy to the joint space, and accessories such as a footswitch and electrodes.
The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the DePuy Mitek VAPR Electrodes, specifically seeking to add hip arthroscopy to the indications for use. This document outlines the safety and performance testing conducted to support this change.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Stated as "Testing") | Reported Device Performance ("Results") |
|---|---|
| Device Insertion | Pass: No visible cracks or missing portions at the distal tip of the electrodes. |
| Shaft Bending | Pass: No visible splitting of heatshrink after one cycle of bending and straightening of the electrode handle and shaft. |
| Active Tip Engagement | Pass: The electrodes withstood with no breakage at the active tip. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify the sample size used for the test set (number of electrodes tested for each criterion). It also does not explicitly state the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective). However, given that this is a 510(k) submission for an electrosurgical device, the testing would typically be conducted in a laboratory setting.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
The provided text does not mention the use of experts to establish a ground truth for the mechanical and physical tests performed (Device Insertion, Shaft Bending, Active Tip Engagement). These are objective engineering tests with pass/fail criteria.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
No adjudication method is described, as the tests performed are objective and do not require expert adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "No clinical studies are required to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the device in support of an application for premarket clearance."
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Study was Done
This question is not applicable to this device. The VAPR Electrode is a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI system. Therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not a relevant concept here.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For the safety and performance testing described (Device Insertion, Shaft Bending, Active Tip Engagement), the "ground truth" is based on objective engineering and material science pass/fail criteria. For example, "no visible cracks" or "no breakage at the active tip" are directly observable and measurable outcomes against predefined standards. There is no concept of "expert consensus," "pathology," or "outcomes data" for these specific engineering tests.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This question is not applicable. The VAPR Electrode is a physical medical device, not an AI or machine learning system that requires a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This question is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

{1}------------------------------------------------
| As a result, the Instructions for Use (IFU) will be updated to add the hip indication. | |
|---|---|
| Besides the HIP indication addition, electrode shaft design (S50, P50 and P50 w/Hndcontrols) has been changed to the same single-shaft design of the predicates. | |
| No other changes have been made to the devices covered by this submission. | |
| Indications for Use | VAPR Suction Electrodes (P50, S50, S90, P50 w/Handcontrols and S90 w/Handcontrols) |
| The DePuy Mitek VAPR Electrodes for use with the VAPR System are intended for resection, ablation, excision of soft tissues, hemostasis of blood vessels and coagulation of soft tissues in patients requiring arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, elbow and wrist. | |
| Substantial Equivalence | With the addition of the Hip indication, the VAPR Systems and electrodes which are the subject of this submission will have the same indication as the following electrodes currently on the market: |
| Product | 510K Number | |
|---|---|---|
| Electrode | VAPR LDS Electrode | K113545 |
| VAPR LPS Electrode | ||
| VAPR P90 Electrode | ||

| AssociatedGenerator | VAPR VUE Radiofrequency System | |
| VAPR II Electrosurgical System | ||
| VAPR 3 Electrosurgical System |
Safety and Performance
Verification and Validation of the VAPR Electrodes included performance testing to demonstrate that the device is appropriate for hip arthroscopy. A summary of testing is provided in Table 1.
| Table 1 | |
|---|---|
| Testing | Results |
| Device Insertion | Pass: No visible cracks or missing portions at the distal tipof the electrodes. |
| Shaft Bending | Pass: No visible splitting of heatshrink after one cycle ofbending and straightening of the electrode handle andshaft. |
| Active Tip Engagement | Pass: The electrodes withstood with no breakage at theactive tip. |

Clinical Testing
No clinical studies are required to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the device in support of an application for premarket clearance. The VAPR System and Electrodes, when used for hip arthroscopic surgeries, do not differ from the predicate devices in fundamental scientific technology.
Conclusion
Results of safety and performance and testing have demonstrated that the modified device is suitable for its intended use.
Based on the indications for use and fundamental scientific technology, the VAPR Electrodes when used the VAPR system are shown to be appropriate for arthroscopy of the hip as well as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
