Intended Use

The Applied Medical Tissue Containment System is indicated to contain and isolate tissue during, or prior to, surgical removal and/or extracorporeal manual morcellation.

The Tissue Containment System is contraindicated for laparoscopic power morcellation during gynecologic procedures.

The Tissue Containment System is contraindicated for use with powered cutting devices (e.g., power morcellators, electrosurgical and laser instruments), and when, in the judgment of the physician, use of such a device would be contrary to the best interest of the patient.

Device Description

The Applied Medical Tissue Containment System is a flexible tissue bag that includes an attached tether and guard accessory. The subject system is provided sterile. The Tissue Containment System is used to contain and isolate specimens for surgical removal and/or manual morcellation. After the device is fully inserted into the abdominal or pelvic cavity, the mouth of the bag returns to its original, circular shape, facilitating placement of the specimen in the bag. When the specimen is ready for removal and/or manual morcellation, the tether is used to maneuver the ring to the surface of the extraction site. If the specimen requires manual morcellation, the ring may be repeatedly flipped to shorten the bag and consequently bring the specimen closer to the extraction site. The guard is placed in the bag opening prior to manual morcellation, providing a robust barrier between the bag and sharp instruments.

AI/ML Overview

The FDA 510(k) summary for the Applied Medical Tissue Containment System (K142427) provides information about its performance testing. However, it does not include specific acceptance criteria or detailed results in a tabular format as you've requested for direct comparison.

Instead, the document states that "Results of testing demonstrates that the subject Tissue Containment System is substantially equivalent to the predicates... and that the subject device performs comparably to the current marketed device for the same intended use." This indicates that the device met the performance expectations derived from its predicate devices and relevant standards, but the exact quantitative thresholds are not provided in this public summary.

Based on the provided text, here's what can be extracted and inferred regarding your request:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not provide a table with specific quantitative acceptance criteria or reported performance values. It generally states that "All materials were found to be biocompatible" and that "bench top tests were designed to focus on the functional performance of the specimen containment and retrieval features, as well as its use during morcellation." and "Results of testing demonstrates that the subject Tissue Containment System is substantially equivalent..."

General interpretation of implicit acceptance criteria based on testing categories:

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance (Summary)
BiocompatibilityAll materials were found to be biocompatible.
Functional PerformanceDemonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
Bag Seam IntegrityPerformed comparably to predicate.
Tether Break ForcePerformed comparably to predicate.
Puncture ResistancePerformed comparably to predicate.
Dye PenetrationSuccessfully demonstrated device functionality.
Viral PenetrationSuccessfully demonstrated device functionality.
Bubble LeakSuccessfully demonstrated device functionality.
Simulated UseSuccessfully demonstrated device functionality.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document does not specify the sample sizes for any of the tests conducted (biocompatibility or mechanical). It also does not specify the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) for any of the tests.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This information is not applicable as the device is a medical device for tissue containment, not an AI or diagnostic device that relies on expert interpretation for ground truth establishment. The testing described (biocompatibility and mechanical) uses objective physical measurements and standardized protocols, not human expert consensus for ground truth.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This information is not applicable for the type of testing conducted. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical studies involving interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes, which is not the case here.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

An MRMC study was not done. This device is a physical tissue containment system, not an AI or imaging device, so such a study would not be relevant.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This information is not applicable for a physical medical device. "Standalone" performance refers to algorithm performance, which is not relevant here.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The "ground truth" for the mechanical and biocompatibility testing is based on:

  • Standardized laboratory methods and established criteria for biocompatibility: Referring to ISO 10993-1, this involves objective measures for cytotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization.
  • Physical performance metrics and comparison to predicate devices: For mechanical tests, the ground truth is the measurable physical properties of the device (e.g., actual break force, absence of leakage, resistance to puncture) and its ability to perform its intended function in simulated use, as well as its comparability to the performance of predicate devices.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI or statistical modeling device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not applicable as there is no training set for this type of device.

extraction site.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device:

The subject and predicate devices are both tissue bags intended to retrieve and contain specimens during manual morcellation. Both devices are wholly inserted into the abdominal or pelvic cavity prior to specimen placement in the bag. If the specimen requires morcellation, both bags are brought up to the extraction site prior to morcellation.

The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:

  • Mechanism of the bag opening
  • o Use of different materials
  • 0 Addition of a guard in subject device

Discussion of Performance Testing:

The following performance data is provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility

The biocompatibility evaluation for the Applied Medical Tissue Containment System was conducted in accordance with the FDA G95-1 Blue Book Memo, the FDA Draft Guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing''', and the International Standard ISO 10993-1. The subject

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

device is a device that contacts tissue for a duration of less than 24 hours and the following tests were considered:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Irritation ●
  • o Sensitization

All materials were found to be biocompatible.

Mechanical Testing

Side-by-side bench top testing was performed with the subject and predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The bench top tests were designed to focus on the functional performance of the specimen containment and retrieval features, as well as its use during morcellation. Both subject and predicate devices were evaluated for:

  • Bag seam integrity
  • o Tether break force
  • o Puncture resistance

Additional testing was performed on the subject device to evaluate the device functionality:

  • Dye penetration
  • Viral penetration
  • Bubble leak ●
  • o Simulated use

Conclusions:

Results of testing demonstrates that the subject Tissue Containment System is substantially equivalent to the predicates Applied Medical Specimen Retrieval System and Cook LapSac Tissue Entrapment Pouch, and that the subject device performs comparably to the current marketed device for the same intended use.
