The Reprocessed Ethicon Bladeless Trocars are intended for use in thoracic, gynecologic, laparoscopic and other abdominal or minimally invasive surgical procedures to establish a path of entry for endoscopic or minimally invasive instruments. The reprocessed optical trocar may be used with or without visualization for primary and secondary insertions.
The Reprocessed Ethicon Universal Trocar Sleeves are intended for use in thoracic, gynecologic, laparoscopy and other abdominal procedures to establish a path of entry for endoscopic instruments.
A trocar is a sterile device used in a variety of endoscopic procedures to establish and maintain a port of entry for surgical tools. Trocars consists of three primary components; the cannula which allows access into the abdominal cavity during the procedure; the seal, located at the top of the cannula allows instruments to pass through the cannula while preventing loss of pneumoperitoneum when instruments are inserted and withdrawn from the port, and; the obturator which is a mechanism that allows the cannula to penetrate the abdomen. The trocars contained in this submission are bladeless. There are also various configurations of diameter and length, but all models have the same basic design, materials, and technological characteristics.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a reprocessed medical device, specifically Reprocessed Ethicon Bladeless Trocars and Universal Trocar Sleeves. It does not describe an AI/ML-based device or a diagnostic algorithm, but rather a physical medical device that is reprocessed for reuse.
Therefore, the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study details, ground truth, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, and training/test set data, which are typical for AI/ML-based diagnostic devices, is not applicable to this document.
The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (the new Ethicon trocar) through:
- Comparison of Technological Characteristics: Indications for Use, Materials, Design, Energy Source.
- Performance Testing: Benchtop functional tests (Seal Drag, Seal Leakage, Insertion, Fixation, Removal Force Test), Product Stability (Shelf Life Testing), Cleaning Validation (Residual Protein and Hemoglobin, Visual Inspection, Cleaning Performance Qualification), Sterilization and Packaging (EtO Sterilization Testing, Simulated Shipment Testing), and Biocompatibility Testing.
The "acceptance criteria" for this device are that its performance, once reprocessed, is equivalent to that of a new, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) device. The study proving this involves side-by-side benchtop testing and cleaning validation.
To directly answer your prompt's questions based on the provided document, where applicable:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document describes the types of tests performed and the overarching goal of demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to the OEM device. It doesn't provide specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., "Seal Drag
§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.
(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
