The AP50/30 Insufflator is a CO2 insufflator intended for use during diagnostic and/or therapeutic endoscopic procedures to distend a cavity by filling it with gas. The Standard/High Flow, Pediatric operating modes of the device are indicated to fill and distend a peritoneal cavity with gas during a laparoscopic procedure. The Pediatric operating mode is specifically indicated for pediatric laparoscopic procedures. The Vessel Harvesting mode is indicated for use during endoscopic vessel harvesting procedures to create a cavity along the saphenous vein or radial artery.
The Insuflow® Port (5 mm, 8 mm, 10mm and 12mm) devices have applications in thoracic, abdominal and gynecologic minimally invasive endoscopic surgical procedures to establish a path of entry for endoscopic instruments and to heat, humidify, filter and introduce a CO2 gas stream for insufflation of the surgical cavity.
The Lexion AP50/30 Insufflator is a microprocessor controlled CO2 (carbon dioxide) insufflator with multiple operating modes. The insufflator instrumentation is intended for hospital use for Standard/High Flow, Pediatric, and Bariatric laparoscopic procedures used in conjunction with a laparoscope to fill and distend a peritoneal cavity with gas, and for Vessel Harvesting procedures used to create a cavity along the saphenous vein and/or the radial artery during an endoscopic vessel harvesting procedure.
The device incorporates the following major components and features: a metal housing, a world power supply, pressure reducers, a venting system, a gas heater control and a touch screen user interface with various settings and display elements. The software operation includes system checks, user interface, setting adjustments, warning/error messages and service info. The device is equipped with a continuous pressure measurement mode that conformity of the actual pressure in the peritoneal or extraperitoneal cavity with the pre-set nominal pressure. The AP50/30 Insufflator is designed with several alarms/warnings to inform the operator in case of an overpressure or other malfunctions. The device is to be used with specially designed single-use tubing sets, the Insuflow Port, in order to utilize the full capabilities of continuous pressure measurement and gas heating and humidification. (The insufflator can also accept other tubing sets for gas deliver only.)
The Insuflow® Port (5, 8, 10, 12 mm) devices are gas conditioning/access port devices that attach to the outlet of the AP50/30 Insufflator and are designed to warm and humidify the CO2 gas stream prior to insufflation via an integral path of entry device during minimally invasive surgery. The Insuflow Port consists of an ethylene oxide sterilized, disposable single use tubing set and a path of entry access port device which contains the pressure sensors, a filter, and gas heater/humidifier. The access port device materials are intended for patient contact of less than 24 hours. The Insuflow® Port is connected to the AP50/30 Insufflator via a plug connector cable, which controls the pressure sensing, gas heating and safety circuits for the system.
The technology for gas conditioning and path of entry for the modified port devices is the same as the predicate Insuflow® Synergy™ Port marketed devices. Regulated CO2 gas from the AP50/30 Insufflator flows into the Insuflow® Port, through the in-line filter, continues along the tubing to enter the path of entry access device that contains the heating element and humidification media, and through the path of entry access device lumen for delivery into the patient's surgical cavity.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the Lexion AP50/30 Insufflator with Insuflow® Port. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria through a clinical study or standalone algorithm evaluation in the way one would for an AI/ML medical device.
The "acceptance criteria" discussed here are primarily in the context of demonstrating equivalence to a predicate device, focusing on functional specifications and safety standards rather than diagnostic performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, AUC) typically found in AI/ML device submissions. There is no mention of an AI/ML component in this device.
Therefore, the requested information elements (1-9) which are typically relevant for AI/ML medical device evaluations (e.g., sample size for test set, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable to this 510(k) submission.
However, I can extract the information relevant to how this specific device (a CO2 insufflator) demonstrates its performance and safety, framed within the context of a 510(k) submission:
Demonstrating Performance and Safety for the Lexion AP50/30 Insufflator with Insuflow® Port (Non-AI/ML Device)
The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, the Stryker/WOM 45L CORE Insufflator and Lexion Insuflow® Synergy™ Ports. The "acceptance criteria" are implied by meeting or having comparable performance to these predicates and adhering to relevant safety standards.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
Since this is not an AI/ML device, the "acceptance criteria" are functional specifications and comparative performance to predicates. There isn't a direct "acceptance criterion" table in the AI/ML sense, but rather a comparison table of key performance specifications between the proposed device and its predicate.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Sample Size: Not applicable. Performance was demonstrated through bench testing and adherence to electrical safety and EMC standards.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable. The "data" are results from engineering bench tests and compliance assessments to recognized standards, not from a dataset of patient images or clinical outcomes.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):
- Not applicable. Ground truth as typically defined for AI/ML performance evaluation (e.g., expert consensus on medical images) is not relevant to this device's safety and performance assessment. Assessments were made against engineering specifications and predicate device performance.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. There was no need for expert adjudication in the context of this device's evaluation.
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:
- No. This is not an AI-assisted device, so an MRMC study is not relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This device does not have a "standalone algorithm" in the AI/ML sense. Its performance is evaluated as an integrated system (insufflator and port). Bench testing focused on its functional performance (e.g., maintaining set pressure, flow rates, handling leaks, overpressure events).
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- The "ground truth" for this device's performance evaluation refers to established engineering specifications, international safety standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series), and the demonstrated performance of the predicate devices during comparative bench testing. For biocompatibility, the ground truth was adherence to ISO 10993 standards and the results of specified biological tests (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity).
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This device does not use a "training set" in the context of AI/ML. Software validation was performed according to FDA guidance for software in medical devices, but this refers to traditional software engineering validation, not AI model training.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. See point 8.

The technical differences between the proposed Lexion AP50/30 Insufflator and the predicate Stryker/WOM 45L Core Insufflator include the following:
- The housing of the proposed AP50/30 Insufflator is slightly smaller in dimensions and lighter in weight.
- The maximum flow rate in the Bariatric operating mode has been increased from 45 1/min to 50 l/min in the AP50/30 Insufflator.
- Continuous pressure measurement is provided by sensors in the Insuflow® Port while the . predicate device 45L Core Insufflator utilizes a real time pressure sensing tube.
- . The AP50/30 Insufflator provides heated, humidified CO2 via the Insuflow® Port while the 45L Core Insufflator provides just heated CO2.
- There are minor differences in configuration menus and settings, highlighted above. .
The differences in the technological characteristics of the proposed AP50/30 Insufflator and the predicate 45L Core Insufflator do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The the maximum flow rate to 50 1/min for the AP50/30 Insufflator is identical to the secondary predicate WOM Insufflator 50L FM134 (K153513).
Insuflow® Port
The modified Insuflow® Port (5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm) devices have intended use as the Insuflow® Synergy™ and Synergy™ XL Port predicate devices. The intended use of the modified device, as described in the labeling, has not changed as a result of the AP50/30 modifications.
The modified Insuflow® Port (5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm) devices utilize the same gas conditioning technology and path of entry access port technology as the predicate Insuflow Synergy™ Port (5 mm) and the Insuflow® Synergy™ XL Port (8 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm) cleared under 510(k) K140263. All of the modified devices have the same port configuration, design and materials as the predicates. All of the Insuflow® Ports perform the same gas heating/humidification conditioning function as the predicates with minor design changes to accommodate the pressure sensors added to the circuitry. The lumen configurations, dimensions and materials of the Insuflow Port path of entry access device are equivalent to the predicate Insuflow® Synergy™ XL Port devices.
Discussion of performance testing.
A risk analysis and resulting performance testing have been conducted to assure that the AP50/30 Insufflator with the Insuflow® Port devices perform in accordance with specifications and applicable

standards. Design verification testing of the AP50/30 Insufflator demonstrates that the device performs as intended, and that performance of the device is comparable to that of the predicate.
Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing was successfully performed by independent laboratories in accordance with the following standards:
- IEC 60601-1:2014 Ed 3- Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General . Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance
- IEC 60601-1-2:2014 Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1 -2: General ● Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Tests.
The software used in the AP50/30 Insufflator was determined to have a major level of concern, and was developed and successfully validated in accordance with the FDA guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices," issued May 11, 2005.
Comparative bench testing was performed to demonstrate that the performance of the AP50/30 Insufflator is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate device Stryker/WOM 45L Core Insufflator. The comparative bench test included the following tests: set pressure, compensation of small and large leakages, overpressure, and pressurement/control. The test results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed AP50/30 device related to reaching the set pressure, compensation of small and large leakages, pressurement/control and overpressure are comparable to the performance of the predicate device 45L Core Insufflator.
For the Insuflow® Port devices, the subject devices utilize the same design and materials as the predicate for gas conditioning, port access and sealing. The only difference is the addition of the pressure sensors on the subject device circuitry. Per FDA's biocompatibility guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process," issued June 16, 2016, testing of the Insuflow device as an external communicating device with contact duration of less than 24 hours was conducted and included cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization potential, and acute systemic toxicity per ISO 10993-5:2009(R)2014, ISO 10993-10:2010/(R)2014, and ISO 10993-11:2006/(R)2010 respectively. Analysis and testing of the sensor materials exposed to the gas flow demonstrated acceptable biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Because there was no change in device dimensions, the existing test data for insertion/removal testing, seal leak integrity testing and ETO sterilization previously provided in the predicate submission can be leveraged to support the safety and effectiveness of the subject device. Since the AP50/30 Insufflator now controls the heating and humidification of the Insuflow® Port device, gas temperature and humidity characterization and flow/pressure performance testing was successfully conducted to assure compliance to specification.
Conclusion:
The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use. As identified above, there are several technological differences between the subject and predicate devices. None of these differences alter the intended use of the subject device from that of the predicate, or raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Performance testing conducted on the subject device demonstrate that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate. Therefore, the AP50/30 Insufflator with Insuflow Port is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
