Device Description

This 510(k) is for a labeling modification only, to include the following additional representative, specific procedures under the cleared "general laparoscopic surgical procedures" Indication for Use of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System, Model IS4000 (K131861) and the da Vinci X Surgical System, Model IS4200 (K171294): Pancreatectomy (partial, distal, segmental), Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple Procedure), Splenectomy and Cholecystectomy. There are no changes to the technological characteristics of the cleared da Vinci Xi or X Surgical Systems (Models IS4000 and IS4200) proposed in this submission. The da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems, Models IS4000 and IS4200, are software-controlled, 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 text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a labeling modification of the da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems, Models IS4000 and IS4200. This modification adds specific representative procedures (Pancreatectomy, Pancreaticoduodenectomy, Splenectomy, and Cholecystectomy) under the existing "general laparoscopic surgical procedures" indication for use.

Crucially, the submission states that there are no changes to the technological characteristics of the device. Therefore, the "device" in question (the da Vinci surgical system itself) is already cleared, and the performance data presented is to establish substantial equivalence for the expanded indications for use, not to prove the fundamental performance of the surgical robot. The acceptance criteria and "device performance" in this context refer to the clinical outcomes of procedures performed using the da Vinci system compared to traditional open or laparoscopic methods, demonstrating that the new indications are safe and effective.

Here's an analysis of the provided information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated as numerical targets in the document. Instead, the study aims to demonstrate that da Vinci Xi/X-assisted procedures for the newly added indications are comparable or superior to existing open or laparoscopic surgical procedures across a range of clinical outcomes.

The "reported device performance" is derived from the clinical literature review for the "umbrella procedures" (Pancreatectomy and Pancreaticoduodenectomy), which are considered representative of the more complex/higher-risk operations. The less complex/lower-risk "covered procedures" (Splenectomy and Cholecystectomy) were supported by inference from the umbrella procedures.

Below is a summary of the findings, which implicitly serve as the "acceptance criteria" and "reported performance" through comparative equivalence:

Performance MetricDa Vinci-assisted vs. Open/Laparoscopic Pancreatectomy (Umbrella Procedure #1)Da Vinci-assisted vs. Open/Laparoscopic Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Umbrella Procedure #2)
MortalityComparable mortality rates.Comparable mortality rates.
Estimated Blood Loss (EBL) / Transfusion RatesComparable or lower blood transfusion rates and/or EBL volumes.Comparable EBL volumes.
Length of Hospital StayComparable or shorter length of hospital stay as compared to laparoscopy and open surgery.Comparable length of hospital stay as compared to laparoscopy and comparable or shorter length of hospital stay as compared to open surgery.
Complication RatesComparable or lower complication rates.Comparable or lower complication rates.
Spleen Preservation RatesHigher or comparable spleen preservation rates. (Specific to pancreatectomy)Not applicable / Not reported in the context of this procedure.
Gastric Emptying RatesLower or comparable delayed gastric emptying rates.Lower or comparable delayed gastric emptying rates.
Reoperation RatesComparable reoperation rates.Comparable reoperation rates.
Readmission RatesComparable or higher readmission rates.Not explicitly summarized as "comparable or higher" but individual studies show variations (e.g., Orti-Rodriguez not reported, Zhang not reported). Needs closer interpretation of Tables 2A/2B.
Pancreatic Fistula RatesComparable pancreatic fistula rates as compared to both open and laparoscopic surgical procedures.Comparable pancreatic fistula rates as compared to both open and laparoscopic surgical procedures.
Operative TimeIncreased operative times were associated with da Vinci procedures as compared to open and laparoscopic procedures. (Not associated with increased mortality/complications).Increased operative times were associated with da Vinci procedures as compared to open and laparoscopic procedures. (Not associated with increased mortality/complications).
Conversion RatesComparable or lower conversion rates reported for da Vinci-assisted procedures as compared to laparoscopic procedures.Comparable or lower conversion rates for da Vinci-assisted procedures as compared to laparoscopic procedures.

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

  • Sample Size for Clinical Studies (Test Set):

    • Pancreatectomy (Umbrella Procedure #1): Eleven (11) publications were identified. The sample sizes within these publications varied significantly. For example, in Table 1A, individual study cohorts ranged from 22 to 3743 patients for da Vinci, laparoscopic, and open procedures. The largest single cohort for da Vinci was 258 (Zureikat, 2017) and for open was 3743 (Zureikat, 2017).
    • Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Umbrella Procedure #2): Eight (8) publications were identified. Individual study cohorts ranged from 102 to 3743 patients. The largest single cohort for da Vinci was 476 (Pedziwiatr, 2017) and for open was 3743 (Zureikat, 2017).
    • Covered Procedures (Splenectomy and Cholecystectomy): No specific clinical studies were provided for these procedures; their clearance was supported by the data from the umbrella procedures.
  • Data Provenance: The data are derived from published clinical literature, including:

    • Prospective randomized controlled trials
    • Meta-analyses
    • Systematic reviews
    • Large database comparative studies

    The specific countries of origin are not specified, but peer-reviewed medical literature typically encompasses international data. The studies are retrospective and prospective, depending on the nature of the individual publications included in the literature review.

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

This is not applicable in the traditional sense for this submission. The "ground truth" for the clinical effectiveness and safety of the da Vinci system for these procedures is established by the peer-reviewed published clinical literature, which is generated by numerous clinical researchers and practicing surgeons. The FDA review process itself involves experts (e.g., "Director, Division of Surgical Devices, Office of Device Evaluation") who evaluate the scientific rigor and conclusions of the submitted literature review.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not directly applicable in the terms of human reader adjudication of images. The "adjudication" in this context is the consensus reached through the scientific and statistical analysis presented in the peer-reviewed meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and comparative studies. The FDA then adjudicates the strength of this evidence for the purpose of granting substantial equivalence.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission relies on a literature review comparing clinical outcomes of different surgical approaches (da Vinci, laparoscopic, open).

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

This question is not applicable. The da Vinci Surgical System is a human-in-the-loop device; it is controlled by a surgeon. The "performance" being evaluated is the outcome of surgical procedures when performed using the da Vinci system (with a human surgeon operating it), compared to other surgical methods. This is not an AI algorithm performing a task autonomously.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the clinical performance claims is based on patient outcomes data reported in published clinical trials and studies. These outcomes include:

  • Mortality rates
  • Estimated blood loss
  • Length of hospital stay
  • Postoperative complication rates
  • Spleen preservation rates (for pancreatectomy)
  • Gastric emptying rates
  • Reoperation rates
  • Readmission rates
  • Pancreatic fistula rates
  • Operative time
  • Conversion rates
  • R0/R1 resection rates
  • Lymph node yield

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

No explicit "training set" for an AI algorithm is mentioned as this device is not presented as an AI-driven autonomous system in this submission. The performance data is for the surgical system itself. The publications reviewed in the submission can be considered the evidence base that informs the regulatory decision, rather than a training set for an AI model.

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

As no training set for an AI algorithm is mentioned, this question is not applicable. The clinical "ground truth" for the effectiveness of the surgical system is established through the standard methodologies of clinical research (e.g., prospective trials, retrospective analyses, meta-analyses) that generated the published literature.

Animal performance data were provided in this premarket notification, including the results from seven (7) evaluations in a total of 27 animals demonstrating use of da Vinci Xi Surgical System (Model IS4000) in the following procedures: Nephrectomy, Pyeloplasty, Hysterectomy and Salpingectomy/Oophorectomy/, Nissen Fundoplication, Colectomy, Mitral Valve Repair and Splenectomy. These data were previously submitted in support of clearance of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System, Model IS4000 (K131861), the da Vinci Xi Vessel Sealer (K140189/S001) and the da Vinci Xi (Model IS4000) 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); urologic surgical procedures general indication (K161178); and, general laparoscopic surgical procedures general indication (K170713 and K171632). These data also support inclusion of the subject representative, specific procedures.

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

Clinical Study Data

Published clinical data support use of the da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems (Models IS400) 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 Pancreatectomy and Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple Procedure) (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: Pancreatectomy

Published clinical data were provided for the umbrella procedure "Pancreatectomy". 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 Pancreatectomy publications show that da Vinci-assisted procedures as compared to open and laparoscopic procedures are associated with:

  • Mortality: comparable mortality rates;
  • Estimated Blood Loss and/or Transfusion Rates: comparable or lower blood transfusion rates and/or EBL volumes;
  • Lengths of Hospital Stay: comparable or shorter length of hospital stay as compared to laparoscopy and open surgery;
  • . Complication Rates: comparable or lower complication rates;
  • Spleen Preservation Rates: higher or comparable spleen preservation rates;
  • Gastric Emptying Rates: lower or comparable delayed gastric emptying rates;
  • Reoperation Rates: comparable reoperation rates;
  • Readmission Rates: comparable or higher readmission rates; and
  • . Pancreatic Fistula Rates: comparable pancreatic fistula 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.
  • Conversion Rates: comparable or lower conversion rates were reported for da Vinci-assisted procedures as compared to laparoscopic procedures.

{7}------------------------------------------------

Umbrella Procedure #2: Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Published clinical data were provided for the umbrella procedure "Pancreaticoduodenectomy". Eight (8) publications were identified for this umbrella procedure based on specific search criteria and filters. These publications included meta-analyses, systematic reviews and a large database comparative study. A detailed summary of the published clinical data on this procedure is provided in Tables 2A and 2B below.

The findings from the Pancreaticoduodenectomy publications show that da Vinci-assisted procedures as compared to open and laparoscopic procedures are associated with:

  • Mortality: comparable mortality rates;
  • Estimated Blood Loss Volume2: comparable EBL volumes;
  • Lengths of Hospital Stay: comparable length of hospital stay as compared to laparoscopy and ● comparable or shorter length of hospital stay as compared to open surgery;
  • Complication Rates: comparable or lower complication rates;
  • Gastric Emptying Rates: lower or comparable delayed gastric emptying rates;
  • Reoperation Rates: comparable reoperation rates; and,
  • Pancreatic Fistula Rates: comparable pancreatic fistula 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.
  • Conversion Rates: comparable or lower conversion rates for da Vinci-assisted procedures were reported as compared to laparoscopic procedures.

Covered Procedures

The published data on the above cited Pancreatectomy and Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple Procedure) umbrella procedures were used to support clearance of the following covered procedures: Splenectomy and Cholecystectomy.

VIII. CONCLUSION

Based on the information provided in this premarket notification, the inclusion of the following additional representative, specific procedures under the da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems (Models IS4000 and IS4200) "general laparoscopic surgical procedure" Indication for Use is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices: Pancreatectomy (partial, distal, segmental), Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple Procedure), Splenectomy and Cholecystectomy.

1 One publication (Orti-Rodriguez, et al) reported a higher EBL volume, a longer length of stay and a higher pancreatic fistula rate for the da Vinci cohort as compared to the laparoscopic cohort. These outcomes were not associated with increased complication or mortality rates.
