The system can also be employed with adjunctive mediastinotomy to perform coronary anastomosis during cardiac revascularization. The system is indicated for adult and pediatic use. It is intended to be used by trained physicians in an operating room environment in accordance with the representative, specific procedures set forth in the Professional Instructions for Use.

Device Description

This 510(k) is for expansion of the representative, specific procedures via labeling modification, to include the following additional representative, specific procedures under the previously cleared "general laparoscopic surgical procedures" indication for the da Vinci Xi Surgical System (K131861) and the da Vinci X Surgical System (K171294) : Colectomy (Right, Left, Transverse, Total, Hemi & Sigmoidectomy);- Small Bowel Resection; Rectopexy; Intersphincteric Resection (ISR); and Low Anterior Resection/Total Mesorectal Excision (LAR/TME) and Abdominoperineal Resection (APR). There are no changes to the technological characteristics of the cleared da Vinci Xi or X Surgical Systems proposed in this submission. The da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems, Models IS4000 and IS4200, are softwarecontrolled, electro-mechanical systems designed for surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery. The Model IS4000 and Model IS4200 Surgical Systems consist of a Surgeon Console, a Patient Side Cart (PSC), and a Vision Side Cart (VSC) and are used with an Endoscope, EndoWrist Instruments, and Accessories.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the da Vinci Surgical System, Model IS4000 and IS4200. This submission seeks to expand the "general laparoscopic surgical procedures" indication to include specific additional procedures. The core of the submission revolves around demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, focusing on clinical outcomes from existing literature rather than new device performance testing.

Here's an analysis of the provided information based on your questions:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative, pre-defined manner for device performance as would be seen in a typical medical device study. Instead, it relies on demonstrating comparable outcomes to existing surgical methods (open and laparoscopic) for the new indications. The "reported device performance" is the aggregated clinical outcomes from published literature for the da Vinci-assisted procedures (specifically LAR/TME and ISR), compared against open and laparoscopic procedures. The acceptance criterion is essentially that the da Vinci system should at least be comparable to or better than the existing methods across various clinical metrics.

Acceptance Criteria/Clinical Outcomes for Comparison:

Clinical MetricDa Vinci-Assisted Procedures vs. Open/Laparoscopic Procedures (LAR/TME Umbrella Procedure)Da Vinci-Assisted Procedures vs. Open/Laparoscopic Procedures (ISR Umbrella Procedure)
MortalityComparable mortality ratesComparable mortality rates
TransfusionsComparable or lower blood transfusion rates and EBL volumesComparable blood transfusion rates and EBL volumes
Length of StayComparable or shorter lengths of hospital stayComparable lengths of hospital stay
ComplicationsComparable or lower complication ratesComparable complication rates
Surgical MarginsComparable rates of positive surgical marginsComparable rates of positive surgical margins
Anastomotic LeakComparable anastomotic leak ratesComparable anastomotic leak rates
Erectile DysfunctionComparable or lower ED ratesLower erectile dysfunction ED rates
Operative TimeIncreased operative times (but not associated with increased mortality/complications)Increased operative times (but not associated with increased mortality/complications)
Urologic FunctionComparable urologic function and comparable or lower conversion ratesComparable urologic function and comparable conversion rates
Fecal ContinenceNot reported in LAR/TME summaryComparable or higher fecal continence rates

Note: The tables (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B) provide detailed numerical data from various publications supporting these summary findings. For instance, in LAR/TME, operative times for da Vinci systems ranged from 191 to 337.9 minutes, while open procedures were 124 to 273.8 minutes and laparoscopic were 158.1 to 298.8 minutes, showing the reported "increased operative times" for da Vinci. Similarly, mortality rates were largely comparable across modalities.


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

The document does not describe a single "test set" in the traditional sense of a prospective clinical trial for algorithm validation. Instead, it relies on a literature review of published clinical studies.

  • Sample Sizes (for "Umbrella" Procedures):

    • Low Anterior Resection/Total Mesorectal Excision (LAR/TME): Data from 11 publications. The sample sizes within these publications varied significantly, with "da Vinci" cohorts ranging from 25 to 1217 patients, "Open" cohorts from 25 to 4403 patients, and "Laparoscopic" cohorts from 156 to 5935 patients (as seen in Tables 1A and 1B).
    • Intersphincteric Resection (ISR): Data from 2 publications. Sample sizes for "da Vinci" cohorts were 40 and 108 patients; for "Open" cohorts, 114 patients; and for "Laparoscopic" cohorts, 40 patients (as seen in Tables 2A and 2B).
  • Data Provenance: The data comes from published clinical studies. While specific countries are not mentioned, published literature tends to be international in scope, potentially including data from various countries. The types of studies included a prospective randomized controlled trial, meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and large database comparative studies. This indicates a mix of retrospective and prospective studies, predominantly observational or comparative in nature.


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

The concept of "experts used to establish ground truth" is not directly applicable here. This is because:

  • The device being assessed (da Vinci Surgical System) is a surgical tool, not an AI or diagnostic imaging device that produces classifications requiring expert labeling.
  • The "performance data" is derived from clinical outcomes published in medical literature. The "ground truth" for these outcomes (e.g., mortality, complications, length of stay, surgical margins) was established by the original research teams and clinical record-keeping within those studies, performed by trained medical professionals (surgeons, pathologists, nurses, etc.) according to their respective clinical practices.
  • The FDA review team evaluates the submitted evidence, but they do not create ground truth for the performance assessment.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Since there isn't a "test set" or a direct human-in-the-loop diagnostic process in this context, an adjudication method for establishing ground truth is not described or relevant. The "adjudication" in this case would be the critical review of the scientific literature by the sponsor and subsequently by the FDA to determine if the presented evidence supports substantial equivalence.


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 MRMC study was done, nor would it be relevant for this type of medical device submission. The da Vinci Surgical System is a robotic surgical platform, not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive tool that assists human "readers" (e.g., radiologists, pathologists). Its purpose is to assist surgeons during procedures, not to interpret medical images or data. The study focuses on clinical outcomes of using the system versus traditional surgical methods.


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

No standalone algorithm performance study was done. The da Vinci system is inherently a human-in-the-loop system, as it is controlled by a surgeon. It is a surgical instrument, not an autonomous algorithm. The "performance data" describes the clinical outcomes when used by a human surgeon.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the performance data in this submission consists of clinical outcomes data from published literature. This includes:

  • Mortality rates
  • Blood transfusion rates and estimated blood loss (EBL)
  • Length of hospital stay
  • Post-operative and intra-operative complication rates
  • Rates of positive surgical margins (PSM)
  • Anastomotic leak rates
  • Erectile dysfunction (ED) rates
  • Urologic function scores
  • Conversion rates (from da Vinci to open or laparoscopic)
  • Number of lymph nodes harvested/retrieved
  • Circumferential Resection Margin (CRM) / Distal Resection Margin (DRM) involvement
  • Fecal continence rates (for ISR)

These outcomes are generally established through clinical follow-up, pathology reports, and patient questionnaires in the original studies.


8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This submission does not involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI. The da Vinci Surgical System is a hardware/software system, and its "training" per se would involve engineering development and rigorous testing, not data-driven machine learning in the conventional sense. The "performance data" presented is clinical evidence of its use in patients, not data used to train a model. Therefore, a training set size is not applicable to this 510(k) submission.


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

As there is no "training set" in the context of this 510(k) submission, the method for establishing its ground truth is not applicable. The device's "ground truth" development would be tied to its design specifications, engineering verification, and validation testing during its product development lifecycle, prior to clinical use and regulatory submission. The clinical data presented here is evidence of its performance, not its training.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

Pre-Clinical Animal Study Data

Animal performance data were provided in this premarket notification, including the results from seven (7) evaluations in a total of 32 animals demonstrating use of da Vinci Xi Surgical System in the following procedures: Nephrectomy, Pyeloplasty, Hysterectomy and Salpingectomy/Oophorectomy (Adnexectomy), Nissen Fundoplication, Colectomy, Mitral Valve Repair and Small Bowel Anastomosis. These data were previously submitted in support of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System (K131861), the da Vinci Xi Stapler 45 (K140553) and the da Vinci Xi labeling modification to add specific procedures under the gynecologic laparoscopic surgical procedures general indication (K152578); general thoracoscopic surgical procedures and thoracoscopically-assisted cardiotomy procedures indication (K153276); and urologic surgical procedures general indication (K161178). These data also support inclusion of the additional representative, specific procedures.

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

Clinical Study Data

Published clinical data support use of the da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems in the subject representative, specific procedures that fall under the cleared "general laparoscopic surgical procedures" Indication for Use. Clinical data were not provided for all of the representative, specific procedures. Instead, clinical data were provided only for the most complex/highest risk representative, specific procedures of Low Anterior Resection / Total Mesorectal Excision "LAR/TME" and Intersphincteric Resection "ISR" (referred to as the "umbrella" procedures). The published data on these "umbrella" procedures were deemed sufficient to cover the less complex/lower risk procedures (referred to as "covered" procedures), so published clinical data on the covered procedures were not provided.

Umbrella Procedures

Umbrella Procedure 1: Low Anterior Resection/Total Mesorectal Excision

Published clinical data were provided for the "Low Anterior Resection/Total Mesorectal Excision" umbrella procedure. Eleven (11) publications were identified for this umbrella procedure based on specific search criteria and filters. These publications included a prospective randomized controlled trial, meta-analyses, systematic reviews and large database comparative studies. A detailed summary of the published clinical data on this procedure is provided in Tables 1A and 1B below.

The findings from the LAR/TME publications show that da Vinci-assisted procedures are:

  • Mortality: associated with comparable mortality rates,
  • Transfusions: comparable or lower blood transfusion rates and EBL volumes,
  • Length of Stay: comparable or shorter lengths of hospital stay,
  • Complications: comparable or lower complication rates,
  • Surgical Margins: comparable rates of positive surgical margins
  • Anastomotic Leak: comparable anastomotic leak rates; and,
  • ED: comparable or lower erectile dysfunction ED rates as compared to both open and ● laparoscopic surgical procedures.
  • . Operative Time: Increased operative times were associated with da Vinci procedures as compared to open and laparoscopic procedures. However, this increase was not associated with an increase in the mortality or complication rates.
  • . Urologic Function: Additionally, these publications reported comparable urologic function and comparable or lower conversion rates for da Vinci-assisted procedures as compared to laparoscopic procedures.

Umbrella Procedure 2: Intersphincteric Resection

Published clinical data were provided for the "Intersphincteric Resection" umbrella procedure. Two (2) publications provided ISR data. One (1) publication reported the results from a retrospective comparative cohort study and one (1) publication reported the results from a prospective comparative

{6}------------------------------------------------

cohort study. A summary of the published clinical data on this procedure is provided in Tables 2A and 2B below.

The findings from the ISR publications show that da Vinci-assisted procedures are associated with:

  • Mortality: comparable mortality rates,
  • Transfusions: comparable blood transfusion rates and EBL volumes,
  • Length of Stay: comparable lengths of hospital stay,
  • Complications: comparable complication rates,
  • Surgical Margins: comparable rates of positive surgical margins,
  • Anastomotic Leak: comparable anastomotic leak rates,
  • ED: lower erectile dysfunction ED rates; and,
  • Continence: comparable or higher fecal continence rates? as compared to both open and laparoscopic surgical procedures.
  • . Operative Time: Increased operative times were associated with da Vinci procedures as compared to open and laparoscopic procedures. However, this increase was not associated with an increase in the mortality or complication rates.
  • Urologic Function: Additionally, these publications reported comparable urologic function and comparable conversion rates for da Vinci-assisted procedures as compared to laparoscopic procedures.

Covered Procedures

The published data on the above cited LAR/TME and ISR umbrella procedures were extrapolated to support clearance of the following covered procedures:

  • . Colectomy (Right, Left, Transverse, Total, Hemi & Sigmoidectomy),4
  • . Small Bowel Resection,
  • Rectopexy, and
  • Abdominoperineal Resection (APR).

VIII. CONCLUSION

Based on the information provided in this premarket notification for expansion of the representative, specific procedures, the inclusion of the following additional representative, specific procedures under the da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems "general laparoscopic surgical procedure" indication is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems): Colectomy (Right, Left, Transverse, Total, Hemi & Sigmoidectomy); $ Small Bowel Resection; Rectopexy; Intersphincteric Resection (ISR); and Low Anterior Resection/Total Mesorectal Excision (LAR/TME) and Abdominoperineal Resection (APR).

4 "Colectomy" is already a cleared, representative, specific procedure under K131861. This application requests a revision to the labeling to specify "Right, Left, Transverse, Total, Hemi and Sigmoidectomy" colectomy procedures.
