The summary describes a robotic surgical system controlled directly by a surgeon. There is no mention of AI or ML being used for image analysis, decision support, or automated control. The "software-controlled" aspect refers to the electromechanical control of the instruments based on surgeon input.
No.
Explanation: This device is a surgical system intended to assist surgeons in performing urologic surgical procedures, not to directly treat a medical condition itself. It is a tool for therapy rather than a therapeutic device in and of itself.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a surgical system intended for "accurate control of Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist SP™ Instruments during urologic surgical procedures". Its purpose is to assist in performing surgery, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of hardware components including a Surgeon Console, Patient Cart, Vision Cart, Camera Instrument, EndoWrist SP Instruments, and Accessories, in addition to being software-controlled.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is "intended to assist in the accurate control of Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist SP™ Instruments during urologic surgical procedures." This describes a surgical assistance system used during a procedure on a patient.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical robot system with a surgeon console, patient cart, and instruments used for manipulating tissue within the body.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are designed to perform tests on specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such tests on specimens. It is a tool for performing surgery directly on the patient.
The device is a surgical system used for performing procedures in vivo (within a living organism), not in vitro (in glass or outside of a living organism).

Device Description
The da Vinci SP Surgical System, Model SP1098 is a software-controlled, electromechanical system designed for surgeons to perform single port minimally invasive surgery. The Model SP1098 Surgical System consists of a Surgeon Console, a Patient Cart, and a Vision Cart, and is used with a Camera Instrument, EndoWrist SP Instruments, and Accessories.
The surgeon seated at the Surgeon Console controls all movement of the EndoWrist SP Instruments and Camera Instrument by using two Master Controls and a set of foot pedals. The surgeon views the three-dimensional endoscopic image on a High Resolution Stereo Viewer (3D Viewer), which provides him/her a view of patient anatomy and instrumentation, along with icons and other user interface features.
The Vision Cart includes the supporting electronic and video processing equipment for the system.
The Patient Cart is positioned at the operating room table and has four instrument drives on a single arm that is positioned over the target patient anatomy. A Camera Instrument attaches onto one instrument drive and provides the surgeon a high resolution, three-dimensional view of the patient anatomy. A suite of EndoWrist SP Instruments can be attached to and detached from the other three instrument drives, enabling the surgeon to perform various surgical tasks. The Camera Instrument and up to three surgical instruments can be used simultaneously, entering the patient through a single port. Accessories including a cannula, an obturator, a seal, an entry guide, disposable tips for selected instruments, instrument sheaths, and a drape are needed to perform procedures with the system.
The EndoWrist SP Instruments come in various configurations such as graspers, scissors, and needle drivers. The EndoWrist SP instruments have a unique articulating design at the distal tip that mimics the human wrist, shoulder, and elbow to enable triangulation and X-Y-Z movement of the instrument in the body. Each instrument is used to perform specific surgical tasks such as grasping, suturing, tissue manipulation, and electrocautery. The EndoWrist SP Instruments can be used only with the SP1098 Surgical System. The instruments are reusable. They are programmed with a maximum number of surgical procedures based upon life testing.
The EndoWrist SP Camera Instrument is a reusable endoscope that provides a stereo image of the surgical site. Like the instruments, the distal end includes multiple joints that provide the flexibility needed for use with a single-port system.

Cadaver and Animal Performance Testing -
Cadaver models were used to demonstrate device performance for anatomical access and reach. Live animal models were used to assess safety and performance in cases where a live tissue model was appropriate. These models replicate factors experienced during use, including working with perfused organs, bleeding, normal tissue handling, and ensuring that appropriate hemostasis is achieved and maintained. Nine procedures were performed (6 cadaver, 3 porcine) to evaluate and validate the performance of the overall SP1098 system. Procedures were chosen on the basis of the types of surgical tasks that are performed, and which EndoWrist SP instruments are needed for the tasks.
| Procedure | Subject | Performance Evaluated in Procedure |
|---|---|---|
| Pelvic lymphadenectomy | Cadaver | Enables evaluation of pelvic access and ability to precisely |
| dissect around vessels. | ||
| Colectomy (Right and Left) | Cadaver | Requires access to multiple quadrants of the body, allowing |
| evaluation of the system's range of motion and ability to work | ||
| in a large work volume. Instrument and grip strength during | ||
| retraction can also be assessed. | ||
| Radical Prostatectomy | Cadaver | Allows assessment of the ability to access the deep pelvis in a |
| male model and suture in a confined space. | ||
| Pyeloplasty | Cadaver | Enables assessment of renal access and the ability to precisely |
| suture small/thin tissues. | ||
| Total Nephrectomy | Cadaver | Enables evaluation of renal access, fine dissection ability |
| during renal hilum dissection, and instrument strength and | ||
| range of motion during mobilization of the kidney. | ||
| Partial Nephrectomy | Cadaver | Enables evaluation of fine dissection ability around vascular |
| structures, suturing of delicate tissue, and evaluation of needle | ||
| handling in a variety of orientations. | ||
| Partial nephrectomy (renal | ||
| hilum dissection and | ||
| clamping, specimen | ||
| resection, and defect closure) | Porcine | Enables evaluation of fine dissection in live tissue and |
| suturing of delicate tissue. Additionally, allows evaluation of | ||
| needle handling in a variety of orientations. | ||
| Renal artery ligation, | ||
| transection, and anastomosis | Porcine | Enables evaluation of the ability to effectively ligate blood |
| vessels and to transect thin tissue, as well as precisely suture | ||
| and manipulate small anatomy. | ||
| Bladder neck dissection, | ||
| transection, and | ||
| urethrovesical anastomosis | Porcine | Allows assessment of the ability to dissect deep in the pelvis |
| as well as to transect, manipulate, and suture thick tissue. | ||
| Additionally, enables evaluation of needle handling in a | ||
| variety of orientations. |

The SP1098 usability risk analysis was developed with feedback from internal functional group experts, using cognitive walk-through, experience from prior products, and internal testing to identify use-related risks. This usability risk analysis was updated throughout the design process as formative testing was conducted, system design was iterated, new use errors were identified, and new mitigations were implemented. Formative testing was conducted both on complete system prototypes and on individual features of the user interface design. Those tests, along with information about the use of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System (Model IS4000), with which the SP1098 shares some design features, helped identify use-related risks for the SP1098 system.
A summative validation study was conducted to evaluate high-risk use scenarios and essential tasks that were not assessed in previous usability validations. This study was conducted in a simulated operating room and involved preoperative preparation and simulated surgical procedures, as well as emergency procedures that involved safetycritical tasks. Training materials and user manuals were developed in concert with the product hardware and software, and were assessed in the validation study. The goals of human factors validation testing were to:
- . Validate risk mitigations to ensure use-safety and effectiveness of the system
- Assess any previously unknown use-related hazards, or identify and assess any . hazards resulting from implemented mitigations
- Evaluate ease of use .
- Assess effectiveness of user documentation .
- Assess effectiveness of training material .
A total of 15 surgical teams (surgeon and patient-side assistant) and 15 prep teams (scrub tech and circulating nurse) participated in the study. Participants underwent the training a user would be provided for the SP1098 system on the first day. The testing sessions were conducted in a simulated operating room environment. Participants were asked to use sterile technique within the surgical field. In addition to the normal use situation of performing the necessary surgical tasks to complete the procedures, imposed scenarios were interiected to test use scenarios that may not occur during normal operation of the system, such as responding to an EnergyShield Monitor fault. Data collected included both objective performance data and subjective feedback from participants. Objective performance data included observations of users' ability to complete tasks, use errors, close calls, and any difficulties encountered. Subjective feedback included open-ended questions about risks and safety, multiple choice ratings, and follow-up interviews.
The human factors engineering process, culminating in a summative usability validation study, was used to identify and assess the use-related risks associated with the SP1098
14
system. The safety and usability of the SP1098 were assessed to ensure that residual risk is at an acceptable level, and new hazardous use scenarios identified during testing were assessed according to an accepted risk management process and updated in the usability risk analysis for the SP1098 system.

Conclusion:
Based on the intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics and performance data, the Intuitive Surgical da Vinci SP Surgical System, Model SP1098, EndoWrist SP Instruments, and Accessories, is substantially equivalent (SE) to the predicate device. This SE determination is based on performance testing that included: bench, cadaver, and animal testing with simulated and representative urological procedures. The bench performance testing verified that the design requirements and specifications for the new and/or changed components of the system are met. The cadaver performance testing validated the users' ability to use the system to accurately control the endoscopic instruments, to reach the necessary target anatomy, and to perform surgical tasks. The simulated and representative urological procedures in live animals provided validation that the system can safely and effectively complete representative urologic procedures encompassed by the indications for use statement. Finally, the human factors assessment provided further assurance that risks due to user errors are identified and mitigated.
