AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the "THUNDERBEAT Open Fine Jaw TB-0009OF" device, an electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device. The document describes various non-clinical (bench and animal) tests conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, but no clinical studies or studies involving human readers and AI assistance are mentioned.

Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance cannot be extracted from this document, as it pertains to AI-driven diagnostic or interpretative devices, which this is not.

Here's what can be extracted based on the provided text, primarily focusing on the device's technical and non-clinical evaluations:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document lists several non-clinical tests (bench and animal) with their objectives. However, specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum burst pressure for vessel seals) and the exact quantitative reported performance metrics from these tests are not provided in this summary. The summary only states the objective of each test.

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

  • Bench Tests (Ex-vivo): Specific sample sizes for ex-vivo vessel and tissue tests (#A1, #A2, #B1, #Fb1, #Fb2, #H, #I/J, #L) are not provided in this summary. The provenance is implied to be laboratory-controlled settings.
  • Animal Tests (In-vivo):
    • For performance testing M and G: Canine animal model was used. Specific number of animals not stated.
    • For performance testing Ca and D: Porcine animal models were used. Specific number of animals not stated.
    • Data Provenance: Laboratory animal models.

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

  • This document describes non-clinical performance testing of a surgical device. It does not involve human interpretation of medical images or data that would typically require "experts to establish ground truth" related to diagnostic accuracy, as is common in AI/ML device submissions. The "ground truth" for the device's performance would be the direct physical measurement and observation of its interaction with tissue and vessels in the described bench and animal models.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable in the context of this device and the tests described. Adjudication methods are typically used for disagreements among human readers or for establishing consensus in clinical interpretations. The reported tests are objective measurements of device performance.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

  • No. This document explicitly states: "Clinical testing using the subject device itself was not conducted." The submission focuses on non-clinical data and comparison to predicate devices, not human reader performance with or without AI assistance.

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

  • No. This is a hardware surgical device, not an algorithm or AI.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For the non-clinical tests (bench and animal studies), the "ground truth" refers to direct physical measurements and observations of the device's performance on tissues and vessels, such as:
    • Measurement of seal achievement rate.
    • Measurement of thermal spread.
    • Assessment of tissue degeneration.
    • Comparison of cutting performance and characteristics.
    • Measurement of grasping force distribution.
    • Measurement of maximum temperature and cooling time.
    • Pathological examination of animal tissue responses.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set. The device's design and manufacturing process are validated through engineering and non-clinical performance testing.

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

  • Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm.

Device Description

The THUNDERBEAT Open Fine Jaw TB-0009OF is intended to be used with the Ultrasonic Generator (USG-400), the Electrosurgical Generator (ESG-400), and the THUNDERBEAT Transducer, (TD-TB400).

The THUNDERBEAT Open Fine Jaw TB-0009OF is provided as a sterile, single use device. It is a functional device capable of vessel sealing & cutting, tissue coagulating & cutting, grasping, and dissecting. This device has been designed to seal and cut vessels up to and including 7 mm in diameter, tissue bundles, and lymphatics for open, open ENT procedures in surgery.

Technological Characteristics

The THUNDERBEAT Open Fine Jaw TB-0009OF has two different output modes:

Animal Testing:

Canine animal model was used for performance testing M and G, and porcine animal models were used for performance testing Ca and D.

Summary of Clinical Testing

Clinical testing using the subject device itself was not conducted. Therefore, a clinical meta-analysis that considered the safety and effectiveness of predicate devices being used in the same procedures proposed for the subject device was conducted.

Conclusion:

Performance tests summarized above demonstrated that the Gyrus ACMI THUNDERBEAT Open Fine Jaw TB-0009OF is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and presents no new questions of safety or efficacy.
