Intended Use

The Voyant Fine Fusion is a bipolar, electrosurgical device indicated for use with the Voyant electrosurgical generator in open procedures where the ligation and division of vessels and tissue bundles is desired.

The device can seal and divide vessels up to and including 3mm in diameter and tissue bundles that can be captured in the jaws of the device.

The device has not been shown to be effective for tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures, and should not be used for these procedures.

Device Description

The Applied Medical Voyant Fine Fusion instrument is designed for use with the Voyant ESG (cleared in K141288). This device is an advanced bipolar instrument that uses RF energy, provided by the generator, to seal vessels up to and including 3mm in diameter. The device may also be used to seal tissue bundles that can be captured in the device jaws. The device features a mechanical, useractuated blade for the division of sealed tissue.

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

  • Test Set Sample Sizes:
    • Bench (Ex Vivo): "ex vivo porcine vessels/tissue" - specific number of vessels/tissue samples not provided.
    • Acute Animal Study (In Vivo): "in vivo canine model" - specific number of animals not provided.
    • Chronic Animal Study (In Vivo): "in vivo canine model" - specific number of animals not provided.
  • Data Provenance:
    • The bench testing used "porcine vessels/tissue," indicating animal tissue.
    • The animal studies (acute and chronic) used an "in vivo canine model," indicating animal data.
    • The studies appear to be prospective as they were specifically performed to evaluate the new device and compare it against the predicate.

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

The document does not provide information on the number of experts, their qualifications, or their involvement in establishing ground truth for the performance testing. The "ground truth" for these tests seems to be defined by the direct measurements and observations from the experimental procedures (e.g., burst pressure, thermal spread, visual assessment of seals and hematomas).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe any expert adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). The evaluation criteria suggest direct measurement and comparison rather than subjective human assessment requiring adjudication.

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

A Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is an electrosurgical tool, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device, so such a study would not be applicable.

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

This question is not applicable. The Voyant Fine Fusion is a physical electrosurgical device, not an algorithm. Its performance is evaluated by its physical characteristics and its effect on tissue, not by an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the performance testing was primarily based on:

  • Direct physical measurements: Such as mechanical strength, electrical safety parameters, burst pressures.
  • Histological/Pathological observations: For thermal damage, seal quality, and absence of hematomas in animal tissue.
  • Biological responses: Observed in chronic animal studies for hemostasis.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

There is no mention of a training set. This device is not an AI/ML-based device; therefore, the concept of a "training set" for an algorithm does not apply.

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

As there is no training set for an algorithm, this question is not applicable.

Summary of Technological Characteristics between Subject and Predicate:

The subject and predicate instruments are technologically similar in size, configuration. They are designed to deliver RF energy to vessels up to 3mm and tissue captured between the jaws of the device for tissue fusion. Both instruments feature scissor-grip style handles for opening and closing the jaws and a button between the handles for energy activation. The instruments are equipped with a mechanical, user-actuated blade for the division of sealed tissue.

Discussion of Performance Testing Submitted:

Testing was performed on the subject Voyant® device to demonstrate electrical, mechanical and functional capabilities in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-2-2. The subject device was also tested side-by-side against the predicate to evaluate substantial equivalence with respect to performance in a laboratory setting as well as an animal model. Side-by-side testing focused on the seal quality evaluation and the local tissue effects of the applied RF energy in and surrounding the seal.

Non-clinical: Basic mechanical and functional capabilities were tested for the subject Fine Fusion. The following is a summary of components and testing performed:

  • Sealer-Divider Device
    • о Mechanical strength testing per IEC 60601-1
    • Durability testing o
    • O Destructive testing per IEC 60601-2-2
  • Integrated System
    • Electrical safety testing per IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2 o
    • Electromagnetic compatibility testing per IEC 60601-1-2 o
    • Safety systems testing o

Preclinical: Preclinical bench (ex vivo porcine vessels/tissue) and animal (in vivo canine model) studies were performed to evaluate system safety and efficacy and to demonstrate that the subject device performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device; namely:

  • . Bench (ex vivo)
    • o Seal evaluation
    • o Thermal damage
    • o Burst pressures
  • Acute animal study (in vivo) ●
    • o Seal evaluation
    • o Thermal damage

In addition, a chronic study (in vivo canine model) was conducted using the subject device to evaluate seal quality and chronic hemostasis and no signs of hematomas.

Clinical: This premarket notification does not rely on human clinical trial data to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

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

Biocompatibility: The patient contact materials of the Fusion device were verified for biocompatibility in accordance with ISO 10993, FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1, and the 2013 FDA Draft Guidance document Use of International Standard ISO 10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing". The device passed all biocompatibility testing according to the acceptance criteria contained in the respective standards.

Sterilization: Validation of the sterilization process for the Fine Fusion was performed in accordance with ISO 11137-2 and AAMI TIR 33. The Fine Fusion Device is validated to an SAL of 10°.

Shelf Life: Testing was conducted on aged and conditioned units to ensure that the sterier is maintained throughout the device's shelf life. Ship testing, including simulated transit and storage conditions such as drop, vibration, and compression, was performed to ensure the Fine Fusion device packaging will protect the units from damage during transit and handling. Environmental conditioning was performed per ISTA P2A and included exposure to temperature extremes and humidity. Shelf life testing met all the acceptance criteria.

Conclusions Drawn from Testing:

The Applied Medical Voyant Fine Fusion is substantially equivalent in performance to the predicate device for vessels up to and including 3 mm (i.e., vessel sealing performance and local tissue effects).
