This 510(k) is for a labeling modification only, to include "Ventral Hernia Repair" (VHR) procedures under the cleared "general laparoscopic surgical procedures" Indication for Use of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System, Model IS4000 and the da Vinci X Surgical System, Model IS4200. 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.
The provided document, K173585, describes the a 510(k) premarket notification for a labeling modification to include "Ventral Hernia Repair" (VHR) procedures under the cleared "general laparoscopic surgical procedures" Indication for Use of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System (Model IS4000) and the da Vinci X Surgical System (Model IS4200). The document does not describe the acceptance criteria and study proving a device's performance against acceptance criteria in the manner typically seen for AI/ML-enabled devices. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating the substantial equivalence of adding VHR procedures to the existing robotic surgical systems by comparing the outcomes of robotic-assisted VHR to traditional open and laparoscopic VHR.
Therefore, many of the specific questions about acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device's performance, sample sizes for test sets, establishment of ground truth by experts, MRMC studies, and standalone algorithm performance, as requested in the prompt, are not applicable or directly addressed by this document. This document is about a surgical system, not an AI/ML diagnostic or prognostic tool.
However, I can extract information related to the clinical study data used to support the labeling modification, which serves a similar purpose to a performance study for a new indication.
Here's the information as it relates to the provided document:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document doesn't define explicit numerical "acceptance criteria" in the way one would for an AI/ML device (e.g., "sensitivity must be >X%"). Instead, it demonstrates comparability and, in some cases, superiority of the robotic-assisted VHR to existing surgical methods across several clinical outcomes and measures. The "acceptance" for this 510(k) is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence and safety and effectiveness for the new indication compared to existing methods.
The tables provided (Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4a) present the "reported device performance" in terms of clinical outcomes for robotic-assisted VHR procedures compared to open and laparoscopic VHR. Below is a summary of the key findings, which serve as the "performance" data used to support the new indication.
Summary of Device Performance (Robotic-Assisted VHR vs. Comparators)
| Outcome/Measure | Robotic-Assisted vs. Open (Non-Complex VHR) | Robotic-Assisted vs. Laparoscopic (Non-Complex VHR) | Robotic-Assisted vs. Open (Complex VHR) | Robotic-Assisted vs. Laparoscopic (Complex VHR) - Unmatched AHSQC Data & Published Literature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Length of Stay | Comparable (2 ± 7 days vs. 2 ± 14 days) | Shorter (2 ± 7 days vs. 4 ± 13 days) | Shorter (2 ± 3 days vs. 5 ± 7 days) | Shorter in AHSQC data (2 ± 3 days vs. 4 ± 3 days). Published literature varies (1-9.2 days). |
| Intraoperative Complications | Comparable | Comparable | Comparable | Comparable in AHSQC data (2% vs. 11%). Published literature (0-1.5%). |
| Transfusions (Intra/Post-op) | Comparable | Comparable | Comparable | Comparable (0% across all AHSQC cohorts). Published literature (0 or 51-91.7ml EBL). |
| Postoperative Complications (through 30 days) | Comparable (9% vs. 11%) | Comparable (10% vs. 11%) | Comparable (24% vs. 20%) | Mixed: Robotic-assisted (24%) vs. AHSQC Laparoscopic (11%). Published literature (0-60%). |
| Readmission Rates (through 30 days) | Comparable (2% vs. 3%) | Comparable (2% vs. 3%) | Comparable (7% vs. 4%) | Comparable in AHSQC data (7% vs. 7%). Published literature (0-13%). |
| Re-encounter Rates (through 30 days) | Lower clinic re-encounter for robotic-assisted (29% vs. 41%). Comparable ER. | Comparable | Lower clinic re-encounter for robotic-assisted (16% vs. 27%). Comparable ER. | Mixed: Robotic-assisted (17% Clinic, 5% ER) vs. AHSQC Laparoscopic (22% Clinic, 15% ER). Published literature (0). |
| Reoperation Rates (through 30 days) | Comparable (<1% vs. 1%) | Comparable (<1% vs. 1%) | Comparable (3% vs. 1%) | Mixed: Robotic-assisted (3%) vs. AHSQC Laparoscopic (0%). Published literature (0-20%). |
| Recurrence Rates (through 30 days) | Comparable (1% vs. 0%) | Comparable (1% vs. 1%) | Comparable (1% vs. 1%) | Comparable in AHSQC data (1% vs. 0%). Published literature "Not Reported" or low. |
| Mortality (through 30 days) | Comparable (<1% vs. 0%) | Comparable (<1% vs. 0%) | Comparable (<1% vs. 0%) | Comparable in AHSQC data (<1% vs. 0%). Published literature (0-1.9%). |
| Operative Time | Longer for robotic-assisted (e.g., 45% between 60-119 min vs. 35%). | Longer for robotic-assisted (e.g., 43% between 60-119 min vs. 50%). | Longer for robotic-assisted (e.g., 45% 240+ min vs. 17%). | Longer for robotic-assisted (46% 240+ min vs. 19%). Published literature (125-372 min). |
| Conversion Rate | n/a | n/a | n/a | Robotic-assisted (4%) vs. AHSQC Laparoscopic (70%). Published literature (0%). |
Note: The document explicitly states that longer operative times for robotic-assisted cases were "not associated with increases in the complication, readmission, reoperation or mortality rates." This addresses a potential negative finding.
2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set (Clinical Data): Real-world evidence (RWE) from the AHSQC registry database.
- Non-Complex VHR Procedures:
- Robotic-Assisted vs. Open: Propensity score matched cohorts of N=871 for each group.
- Robotic-Assisted vs. Laparoscopic: Propensity score matched cohorts of N=615 for each group.
- Data Provenance: The registry data for these procedures occurred between July 7, 2013, and January 1, 2017. The document does not specify the country of origin, but AHSQC (America's Hernia Society Quality Collaborative) suggests it is primarily from the United States. The data is retrospective as it's from a registry of past procedures.
- Complex VHR Procedures:
- Robotic-Assisted vs. Open: Propensity score matched cohorts of N=297 for each group.
- Robotic-Assisted vs. Laparoscopic: Unmatched data from the AHSQC Registry Database (Robotic-Assisted N=305, Laparoscopic N=27) and a summary of published literature of laparoscopic VHR (N=3-53 per study).
- Data Provenance: Similar to non-complex, July 7, 2013, and January 1, 2017, primarily United States, retrospective.
- Non-Complex VHR Procedures:
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This is not applicable in the context of this document. The "ground truth" for the performance data is derived directly from clinical outcomes recorded in a surgical registry (AHSQC) and published clinical literature. These are factual clinical occurrences (e.g., length of stay, complications, readmissions, mortality) rather than subjective interpretations by experts, as would be the case for image-based diagnostic AI/ML.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable. As noted above, the data are clinical outcomes from a registry, not expert-labeled data requiring adjudication.
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:
Not applicable. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretation device that would involve human "readers." The "device" (da Vinci Xi/X Surgical System) is a surgical tool. The study compares surgical approaches (robotic, open, laparoscopic), not the performance of human readers with or without AI assistance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. The da Vinci system is a human-controlled robotic surgical system; it does not operate "stand-alone" as an algorithm would. Performance is always human-in-the-loop (i.e., the surgeon uses the system).
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
The ground truth for the clinical performance data (test set) is Real-World Evidence (RWE) from a clinical registry (AHSQC). This constitutes outcomes data (e.g., length of stay, complication rates, readmission rates, recurrence rates, mortality rates) directly recorded from patient care. For certain comparisons (Complex VHR Robotic-Assisted vs. Laparoscopic), it also incorporates published literature on laparoscopic VHR outcomes.
8. The sample size for the training set:
The document does not describe a "training set" in the context of machine learning. The da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems are existing electromechanical systems; this submission is for an expanded indication. The "training" for the system itself has already occurred and is inherent in its design and previous clearances. The data used in this submission serves as clinical validation data for the expanded Indication for Use.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the AI/ML sense described.
In summary, this 510(k) submission demonstrates the substantial equivalence and safety/effectiveness of adding a new surgical indication to an already cleared robotic surgical system, not the performance of a new AI/ML device against specific quantitative acceptance criteria. The "study" here is a retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes from a large surgical registry and published literature.

VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
There are no changes to the technological characteristics of the cleared da Vinci Xi or X Surgical Systems (IS4000 and IS4200) proposed in this submission.
{6}------------------------------------------------
VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
Pre-Clinical Animal Study Data
This premarket notification is supported by animal study data including the results from six (6) evaluations in a total of 24 animals demonstrating use of da Vinci Xi Surgical System in the following procedures: Hysterectomy and Salpingectomy/Oophorectomy (Adnexectomy), Pyeloplasty, Nephrectomy, Nissen Fundoplication, Colectomy and Mitral Valve Repair. These data were initially submitted in support of clearance of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System (K131861).
Real World Evidence from the AHSQC Registry Database
Real world evidence (RWE) from the AHSQC registry database support use of the da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems (Models IS4000 and IS4200) in "Ventral Hernia Repair" (VHR) procedures that fall under the cleared "general laparoscopic surgical procedures" Indication for Use. The RWE provided included propensity matched comparative data from robotic-assisted, open and laparoscopic cohorts in noncomplex VHR procedures. Non-complex VHR procedures were defined as ventral (e.g., incisional, epigastric, umbilical) hernia repairs without myofascial release. Additionally, propensity matched comparative data from robotic-assisted and open cohorts and unmatched comparative data from robotic-assisted and laparoscopic cohorts in complex VHR procedures were also included. Complex VHR procedures were defined as incisional hernia repair plus myofascial release. Longer term endpoints beyond 30 days, such as ventral hernia repair recurrence and chronic pain were not assessed in this analysis, and thus no claims regarding these clinical outcomes data should be inferred. The results demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of robotic-assisted ventral hernia repair procedures.
Non-Complex VHR Procedures: Robotic-Assisted v. Open Surgery
Table 1 summarizes the results of the RWE that compared the results of non-complex robotic-assisted and open VHR procedures. The RWE included information comparing the use of the da Vinci System in non-complex Ventral Hernia Repair procedures with open surgery in the following key measures:
- Length of Stay: comparable lengths of hospital stay were reported for both the robotic-assisted and open cohorts.
- Intraoperative Complications: comparable intraoperative complication rates were reported for both the robotic-assisted and open cohorts.
- Transfusions: comparable intraoperative blood transfusion rates were reported in both the robotic-assisted and open cohorts.
- Postoperative Complications through 30 days: comparable postoperative complications through 30 days follow up were reported for both the robotic-assisted and open cohorts.
- Readmission Rates through 30 days: comparable readmission rates through 30 days follow up were reported for both the robotic-assisted and open cohorts.
- Re-encounter Rates through 30 days: a lower clinic re-encounter rate through 30 days follow up was reported for the robotic-assisted cohort (29%) as compared to the open cohort (41%). Comparable emergency room re-encounter rates through 30 days follow up were reported for both the roboticassisted and open cohorts.
- Reoperation Rates through 30 days: comparable reoperation rates were reported for both the robotic-assisted and open cohorts.
- Recurrence Rates through 30 days: comparable surgeon reported recurrence rates were reported for both the robotic-assisted and open cohorts through the 30-day postoperative period.
- Mortality through 30 days: comparable mortality rates were reported in both the robotic-assisted and open cohorts through the 30-day postoperative period.
{7}------------------------------------------------
- Operative Time: longer operative times were reported for the robotic-assisted cohort as compared to the open cohort1.

^ Includes data from the AHSQC registry for procedures that occurred between July 7, 2017 . The total number of non-complex VHR procedures in the registry during this time period was 873 and 3,979 for the robotic-assisted and open cohorts, respectively. The total number in the propensity matched cohorts is 871 as noted in the column header of the above table.
Non-Complex VHR Procedures: Robotic-Assisted v. Laparoscopic Surgery
Table 2 summarizes the results of the RWE that compared the results of non-complex robotic-assisted and open VHR procedures. The RWE included information comparing the use of the da Vinci System in non-complex Ventral Hernia Repair procedures with laparoscopic surgery in the following key measures:
- Length of Stay: a shorter length of hospital stay was reported for the robotic-assisted cohort (2 days ± 7) as compared to the laparoscopic cohort (4 days ± 13).
- Intraoperative Complications: comparable intraoperative complication rates were reported for both the robotic-assisted and laparoscopic cohorts.
- Transfusions: comparable intraoperative blood transfusion rates were reported in both the robotic-assisted and laparoscopic cohorts.
4 The longer operative time for the robotic-assisted cohort was not associated with increases in the complication, readmission, reoperation or mortality rates.
{8}------------------------------------------------
- Conversion Rate: a comparable conversion rate was reported for the robotic-assisted cohort as compared to the laparoscopic cohort.
- Postoperative Complications through 30 days: comparable postoperative complications through 30 days follow up were reported for both the robotic-assisted and laparoscopic cohorts.
- Readmission Rates through 30 days: comparable readmission rates through 30 days follow up were reported for both the robotic-assisted and laparoscopic cohorts.
- Re-encounter Rates through 30 days: comparable clinic and emergency room re-encounter rates through 30 days follow up were reported for the robotic-assisted cohort as compared to the laparoscopic cohort.
- Reoperation Rates through 30 days: comparable reoperation rates were reported for both the robotic-assisted and laparoscopic cohorts.
- Recurrence Rates through 30 days: comparable surgeon reported recurrence rates were reported for both the robotic-assisted and laparoscopic cohorts through the 30-day postoperative period.
- Mortality through 30 days: comparable mortality rates were reported in both the robotic-assisted and laparoscopic cohorts through the 30-day postoperative period.
- Operative Time: longer operative times were reported for the robotic-assisted cohort as compared to the laparoscopic cohort2.

Complex VHR Procedures: Robotic-Assisted v. Laparoscopic Surgery
Table 4a provides a summary of the results of the RWE that compared the results of complex roboticassisted and laparoscopic VHR procedures and a summary of the published literature on complex laparoscopic VHR procedures. The limited sample size of the complex laparoscopic cohort in the AHSQC Registry Database precluded matching and a comparative analysis between these cohorts in the AHSQC Registry Database. Table 4b includes the detailed data from nine (9) publications reporting on complex laparoscopic VHR procedures. These publications were selected based on specific search criteria and filters and included 6 comparative studies (LOE 2 & 3b) and 3 single-arm studies (LOE 5). The results from the literature were not matched with the available robotic-assisted data from the AHSQC Registry Database and no comparative analysis was conducted. Clinical analysis of the da Vinci Surgical Systems in robotically-assisted complex ventral hernia repair procedures raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness for the proposed labeling modification and therefore is substantially equivalent.

VIII. CONCLUSION
Based on the information provided in this premarket notification, the inclusion of "Ventral Hernia Repair" procedures under the da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems (Models IS4000 and IS4200) previously cleared "general laparoscopic surgical procedure" Indication for Use is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The basis of this substantial equivalence determination was an assessment of the immediate post-operative outcomes through 30 days comparing the robotic-assisted surgery ventral hernia repair versus laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.
