The document describes a software-controlled, electro-mechanical system for surgical instrument control and video processing, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning or neural networks. The performance studies focus on traditional engineering and clinical validation methods.

No.
The device assists in the accurate control of endoscopic instruments during minimally invasive surgery and is not directly used for therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a surgical system intended to assist in the accurate control of endoscopic instruments for minimally invasive surgery. Its purpose is to perform surgical procedures, not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "software-controlled, electro-mechanical system" consisting of a Surgeon Console, Patient Cart, and Vision Cart, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "assist in the accurate control of endoscopic instruments in minimally invasive surgery" and for "urologic surgical procedures." This describes a surgical system used during a procedure on a patient, not a test performed on a sample outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a "software-controlled, electro-mechanical system designed for surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery" consisting of a Surgeon Console, Patient Cart, and Vision Cart. This is consistent with a surgical robot, not an IVD.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input is "Endoscopic image," which is used for visualization during surgery, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used for "Urologic surgical procedures," indicating its application directly on the patient's anatomy.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies involve bench testing, cadaver and animal validations, simulated clinical procedures, and human factors evaluation. These are typical for surgical devices, not IVDs which would focus on analytical and clinical performance related to diagnostic accuracy.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

In summary, the da Vinci Sp™ Surgical System is a surgical robot designed to assist surgeons in performing minimally invasive procedures. Its function is to control instruments during surgery, not to perform diagnostic tests on samples.

Device Description

The da Vinci Sp Surgical System. Model SP999 is a software-controlled, electro-mechanical system designed for surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery. The Model SP999 Surgical System consists of a Surgeon Console, a Patient Cart, and a Vision Cart and is used with a Camera Instrument, EndoWrist Sp Instruments, and Accessories.
The surgeon seated at the Surgeon Console controls all movement of the EndoWrist Sp Instruments and Camera Instrument by using two Master Controls and a set of foot pedals. The surgeon views the three-dimensional endoscopic image on a High Resolution Stereo Viewer (3D Viewer), which provides him/her a view of patient anatomy and instrumentation, along with icons and other user interface features.
The Vision Cart includes the supporting electronic and video processing equipment for the system.
The Patient Cart is positioned at the operating room table and has four instrument drives on a single arm that is positioned over the target patient anatomy. A Camera Instrument attaches onto one instrument drive and provides the surgeon a high resolution, three-dimensional view of the patient anatomy. A suite of EndoWrist Sp Instruments can be attached to and detached from the other three instrument drives, enabling the surgeon to perform various surgical tasks. The Camera Instrument and up to three surgical instruments can be used simultaneously, entering the patient through a single port. Accessories including a cannula, an obturator, a seal, an entry guide, disposable tips for selected instruments, instrument sheaths, and a drape are needed to perform procedures with the system. Cleaning tools are also provided for cleaning the instruments.
The EndoWrist Sp Instruments come in various configurations such as graspers, scissors, and needle drivers. The EndoWrist Sp instruments have a unique articulating design at the distal tip that mimics the human wrist, shoulder, and elbow to enable triangulation and X-Y movement of the instrument in the body. Each instrument is used to perform specific surgical tasks such as grasping, suturing, tissue manipulation, and electrocautery. The EndoWrist Sp Instruments can be used only with the SP999 Surgical System. The instruments are reusable. They are programmed with a maximum number of surgical procedures based upon life testing.
The SP999 Camera Instrument is a reusable endoscope that provides a stereo image of the surgical site. Like the instruments, the distal end includes multiple joints that provide the flexibility needed for use with a single-port system.

    A total of 15 user teams participated in the study, each team consisting of a surgical urologist and a patient side assistant. Surgeon participants exhibited a wide range of age (34 - 65 years), years in surgical practice (2 - 30 years), and robotic surgical experience (13 - 1000 cases). Patient side assistants also varied in age (26 - 52 years), experience (55 - 40.000 cases), and robotic patient side experience (0 - 9000 cases). Participants underwent the training a user would be provided for the SP999 system on the first day. The testing sessions were conducted in a simulated operating room environment which included overhead operating room lighting, an adjustable patient table, and accessory equipment (e.g. anesthesia equipment, energy equipment, insufflator, etc.). Participants were asked to use sterile technique within the surgical field. In addition to the normal use situation of performing the necessary surgical tasks to complete the procedures, imposed scenarios were interjected to test use scenarios that may not occur during normal operation of the system, such as responding to a non-recoverable system fault. Data collected included both objective performance data and subjective feedback from participants. Objective performance data included observations of users' ability to complete tasks, use-errors, close calls, and any difficulties encountered. Subjective feedback included open-ended questions about risks and safety, multiple choice ratings, and follow-up interviews.

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

Performance test data (bench, and cadaver tests) demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and that the design output meets the design input requirements. The testing included dimensional measurements, mechanical and functional verification, electrical safety, and simulated use in animal and cadaver models.
Eleven procedures were performed (5 cadaver, 6 porcine) to evaluate and validate the performance of the overall SP999 system (sample size = 1).
For comparison to the predicate, five (5) independent practicing surgeons participated in a study completing a comprehensive set of urologic surgical procedures using both the SP999 (subject) and the IS3000. With each system, each surgeon performed seven urologic procedures in a cadaver model and six representative procedure steps in a porcine model, for a total of 65 surgical procedures performed with each system.

Intended Use:

To assist in the accurate control of endoscopic instruments in minimally invasive surgery.

Indications for Use:

da Vincio SpTM Surgical System, Model SP999

The Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic Instrument Control System (da Vincio SpTM Surgical System, Model SP999) is intended to assist in the accurate control of Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist® Sp™ Instruments during urologic surgical procedures that are appropriate for a single port approach. The system is indicated for adult use. It is intended for use by trained physicians in an operating room environment in accordance with the representative, specific procedures set forth in the Professional Instructions for Use.

EndoWrist® Sp™ Instruments

Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist® Sp™ Instruments are controlled by the da Vincio Sp™ Surgical System, Model SP999, and include flexible endoscopes, blunt and sharp endoscopic dissectors, scissors, forceps/pick-ups, needle holders, endoscopic retractors, electrocautery and accessories for endoscopic manipulation of tissue, including grasping, cutting, blunt and sharp dissection, approximation, ligation, electrocautery, and suturing through a single incision laparoscopic approach. The system is indicated for urologic surgical procedures that are appropriate for a single port approach. The system is indicated for adult use. It is intended for use by trained physicians in an operating room environment in accordance with the representative, specific procedures set forth in the Professional Instructions for Use.

Technological Characteristics:

The Intuitive Surgical da Vinci Sp Surgical System, Model SP999 is equivalent to the predicate device, Model IS3000, in terms of technological characteristics and intended use. The SP999 is designed for single incision laparoscopic procedures similar to the IS3000 when the IS3000 was cleared with specific instrumentation in K112208 and K122532 for single incision laparoscopic procedures. The SP999 includes a new Patient Cart architecture, design and dimensional changes in the EndoWrist Sp Instruments and endoscope, design of a new multichannel cannula system, and modifications to the Surgeon Console foot pedals.

The predicate Patient Cart has four systems of setup joints used to position three Instrument Arms (each housing one instrument drive for an instrument) and one Camera Arm (housing one instrument drive for the endoscope). In contrast, the new Patient Cart has only one system of setup joints used to position a single Instrument Arm that houses four independent instrument drives (three for surgical instruments and one for the Camera Instrument).

4

The predicate EndoWrist instruments of the IS3000 are hinged-wrist joints. The EndoWrist Sp instruments have joggle joints in combination with snake-like wrist joints. This instrument design allows the instrument tip to be oriented with the same degrees of freedom as the predicate instruments. The EndoWrist Sp camera has the same design as the instruments, including both a wrist joint and joggle joints. The predicate endoscope is rigid, lacking any joints.

The predicate Surgeon Console has a view pedal that activates control of endoscope position and camera-focusing function. The SP999 Surgeon Console has a modified view pedal and a new arm pedal. The view pedal performs two functions, a Camera Control mode to move the articulating joints on the endoscope without movement of the instruments, and an Adjust mode to facilitate re-centering of the instruments' range of motion. The arm pedal is used to re-orient the instruments and camera as a group, pivoting around the single port. This mode (Relocate mode) can be used to move the instruments and camera to a different surgical quadrant.

Performance Data:

Performance test data (bench, and cadaver tests) demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and that the design output meets the design input requirements. The testing included dimensional measurements, mechanical and functional verification, electrical safety, and simulated use in animal and cadaver models as follows.

Cadaver and Animal Validations -

Cadaver models were used to demonstrate clinical performance for anatomical access and reach. Live animal models were used to assess safety and performance in cases where a live tissue model was appropriate. These models replicate factors experienced during clinical use, including working with perfused organs, bleeding, normal tissue handling, and ensure that appropriate hemostasis is achieved and maintained. Eleven procedures were performed (5 cadaver, 6 porcine) to evaluate and validate the performance of the overall SP999 system (sample size = 1). Procedures were chosen on the basis of the types of surgical tasks that are performed, and which EndoWrist instruments are needed for the tasks. These procedures were performed by clinical development engineers:

Clinical Validation -

No clinical testing was provided with this submission using the subject device.

Human Factors Evaluation -

A human factors (HF) engineering process was followed in accordance with FDA guidelines for medical devices:

  • . Medical Device Use-Safety: Incorporating Human Factors Engineering into Risk Management, 2000
  • Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff Applying Human . Factors and Usability Engineering to Optimize Medical Device Design, 2011

The SP999 Human Factors Hazard Analysis was developed with feedback from internal functional group experts, using cognitive walk-through, experience from prior products, and internal testing to identify use-related risks. This human factors hazard analysis was updated throughout the design process as formative testing was conducted, system design was iterated, new use errors were identified, and new mitigations were implemented. Formative testing was conducted both on complete system prototypes and on individual features of the user interface design. Those tests, along with information about the use of previous da Vinci Surgical Systems (Models IS 1200, IS2000, and IS3000), helped identify use-related risks for the SP999 system. Additionally, an earlier version of the SP999 was used in a clinical investigation, which provided valuable usability feedback that led to the current design iteration.

A summative validation study conducted with 15 teams of users (surgeons and patient side assistants). This study was conducted in a simulated OR and involved preoperative preparation and simulated surgical procedures, as well as emergency procedures that involved safety critical tasks. Training materials and user manuals were developed in concert with the product hardware and software, and were assessed in the validation study. The goals of human factors validation testing were to:

  • Validate risk mitigations to ensure use-safety and effectiveness of the system .
  • Assess any previously unknown use-related hazards, or identify and assess any hazards . resulting from implemented mitigations
  • . Evaluate ease of use
  • Assess effectiveness of user documentation (i.e., User Manual and Instructions for Use) .
  • Assess effectiveness of training material .

A total of 15 user teams participated in the study, each team consisting of a surgical urologist and a patient side assistant. Surgeon participants exhibited a wide range of age (34 - 65 years), years in surgical practice (2 - 30 years), and robotic surgical experience (13 - 1000 cases). Patient side

9

K131962 Page 10 of 11

assistants also varied in age (26 - 52 years), experience (55 - 40.000 cases), and robotic patient side experience (0 - 9000 cases). Participants underwent the training a user would be provided for the SP999 system on the first day. The testing sessions were conducted in a simulated operating room environment which included overhead operating room lighting, an adjustable patient table, and accessory equipment (e.g. anesthesia equipment, energy equipment, insufflator, etc.). Participants were asked to use sterile technique within the surgical field. In addition to the normal use situation of performing the necessary surgical tasks to complete the procedures, imposed scenarios were interjected to test use scenarios that may not occur during normal operation of the system, such as responding to a non-recoverable system fault. Data collected included both objective performance data and subjective feedback from participants. Objective performance data included observations of users' ability to complete tasks, use-errors, close calls, and any difficulties encountered. Subjective feedback included open-ended questions about risks and safety, multiple choice ratings, and follow-up interviews.

The SP999 has been assessed and found to be safe and effective for its intended uses, by the intended users, in its intended use environment. The human factors engineering process, culminating in a usability validation study, was used to identify and assess the use-related risks associated with the SP999. The safety and usability of the SP999 were assessed to ensure residual risk is at acceptable levels, and that new hazardous use scenarios identified during testing were assessed according to an accepted risk management process and updated in the Human Factor Hazard Analysis for the SP999.

Feasibility Study

The 510(k) also included information with thirty (30) day post-operative outcomes on 19 human clinical cases (11 prostatectomies, 4 nephrectomies, 4 partial nephrectomies) successfully performed with a functionally equivalent prototype version of the SP999 system as part of an OUS feasibility study. The clinical data were not used to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device, but served to supplement the animal and cadaver testing and provided further evidence that the new design of the SP999 is safe and effective in a human clinical setting.

Conclusion :

Based on the intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics and performance data, the Intuitive Surgical da Vinci® Sp™ Surgical System, Model SP999, EndoWrist Sp™ Instruments, and Accessories, is substantially equivalent (SE) to the predicate devices. This SE determination is based on bench testing including reliability testing, animal/cadaver validation, simulated clinical procedures in live animals, and human factors assessment. The bench/reliability testing verified that the design requirements and specifications for the new and/or changed components of the system are met. The animal/cadaver validation demonstrated the users' ability to use the system to accurately control the endoscopic instruments, to reach the necessary target anatomy, and to perform surgical tasks. The simulated clinical procedures in

live animals provided clinical validation that the system can safely and effectively complete representative surgical procedures encompassed by the indications for use statement. Finally, the human factors assessment provided further assurance that risks due to user errors are identified and mitigated.

This SE determination did not require clinical data for the following reasons:

  • . The indications for use are within the scope of the predicate device (da Vinci IS3000).
  • The changes to the device hardware and software were such that bench testing, ● animal/cadaver validation, and simulated clinical procedures in live animal were adequate to establish SE to the predicate.

This review did not compare human clinical performance between the da Vinci® Sp™ Surgical System, Model SP999, EndoWrist Sp™ Instruments, and Accessories and its predicates. This review did not assess user training although a training program was described as part of the human factors assessment.
