The Veress Needle is intended for percutaneous insertion into the peritoneal cavity for the purpose of insufflation with carbon dioxide to establish pneumoperitoneum prior to the placement of trocars during laparoscopic procedures.
The Veress Needle is a sterile and single-use product. It incorporated a spring loaded blunt stylet mechanism similar to the needle. It is used to establish peritoneum prior to trocar and cannula insertion in laparoscopic procedures. The Veress Needle, available in 120 mm and 150 mm lengths, has applications in gynecological laparoscopy and other laparoscopic procedures.
This document is a 510(k) summary for the WickiMed Veress Needle and provides information on its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It does not describe an AI/ML powered device, therefore no information about acceptance criteria and studies proving the device meets these criteria as would be relevant for an AI/ML system is available.
The document discusses the following types of non-clinical testing for the Veress Needle:
- Biocompatibility tests: Conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2009, ISO 10993-5:2009, ISO 10993-7:2008, ISO 10993-10:2010, ISO 10993-11:2006, and ISO 10993-12:2012. These included Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Intracutaneous reactivity, Acute systemic toxicity, and Material-Mediated Pyrogenicity.
- Sterilization validation: Performed per ISO 11135:2014.
- Performance tests:
- Tip Pull Test
- Switch Operation
- Spring Obturator Operation
- Needle Puncture Force Test
The document states that "All the test results demonstrate the performance of Veress Needle meets the requirements of its pre-defined acceptance criteria and intended uses." However, it does not provide the specific numerical acceptance criteria for these tests, nor the reported device performance values. It also does not discuss any of the other specific items from your request (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, data provenance, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance, etc.) as these are not relevant to a traditional medical device submission like a Veress Needle.
§ 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.
