Intended Use

THE GENICON SIMPLE SPECIMEN RETRIEVAL IS INDICATED FOR USE IN LAPAROSCOPIC PROCEDURES TO CAPTURE ORGANS OR TISSUE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE BODY CAVITY.

Device Description

The Genicon Simple Specimen Retrieval Bags are comprised of a flexible plastic bag with and without a deployment mechanism. The deployment mechanism consists of a push rod and handle. The deployment mechanism allows for easy insertion through the cannula to deploy the bag within the body cavity. Bags without a deployment mechanism may be introduced using a standard atraumatic grasper or dissector. The bag consists of a large, easily accessible opening and a closure suture that facilitates closure of the specimen bag after the specimen(s) have been collected. This device is packaged and sterilized for single use only. Do not re-use, reprocess, or re-sterilize. Discard after use.

AI/ML Overview

This is a medical device submission for the GENICON Simple Specimen Retrieval Bag (SimplyStrong and SimplyEZee) and therefore does not include information about AI/ML algorithm performance. The document describes the substantial equivalence of the device to a predicate device based on non-clinical testing.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Test/CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Bench Test Outcome)Reported Device Performance (GENICON Simple Specimen Retrieval Bag)
Introduction ForcesNot explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but implied to be "appropriate" and equivalent to the predicate device.Testing showed the device performed equivalently or better, meeting the "same requirements as the predicate device" for introduction forces.
Seam StrengthsNot explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but implied to be "appropriate" and equivalent to the predicate device.Testing showed the device performed equivalently or better, meeting the "same requirements as the predicate device" for seam strengths.
Puncture ForcesNot explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but implied to be "appropriate" and equivalent to the predicate device.Testing showed the device performed equivalently or better, meeting the "same requirements as the predicate device" for puncture forces.
Fluid PermeabilityNot explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but implied to be "appropriate" (likely non-permeable for fluid containment) and equivalent to the predicate device.Testing showed the device performed equivalently or better, meeting the "same requirements as the predicate device" for fluid permeability.
TransparencyNot explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but implied to be "appropriate" (likely transparent enough for visualization) and equivalent to the predicate device.Testing showed the device performed equivalently or better, meeting the "same requirements as the predicate device" for transparency.
Open/Closure ForcesNot explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but implied to be "appropriate" for ease of use and secure closure, and equivalent to the predicate device.Testing showed the device performed equivalently or better, meeting the "same requirements as the predicate device" for open/closure forces.
Packaging ValidationNot explicitly stated, but implies meeting established standards for medical device packaging integrity.Validation was conducted. (Assumed to meet acceptance criteria as it's listed as a conducted test contributing to substantial equivalence).
Visual InspectionNot explicitly stated, but implies conforming to manufacturing specifications and absence of defects.Inspection was conducted. (Assumed to meet acceptance criteria as it's listed as a conducted test contributing to substantial equivalence).
BiocompatibilityConforms to ISO 10993.Conforms to ISO 10993.
Sterilization ValidationNot explicitly stated, but implies meeting established standards for medical device sterilization.Validation was conducted. (Assumed to meet acceptance criteria as it's listed as a conducted test contributing to substantial equivalence).
Radiopaque MarkersThe predicate device (Espiner Tissue Retrieval System) is X-ray opaque, implying the ability for detection. For the GENICON device, it's the incorporation of radiopaque markers allowing for x-ray detection in case the bag is left inside the patient after the surgical procedure.Bags incorporate radiopaque markers allowing for x-ray detection in case the bag is left inside the patient after the surgical procedure. (This isn't a direct performance-based "acceptance criterion" in the same way as forces, but a design feature that meets a safety requirement).
Intended UseEndoscope and Accessories (GCJ) for capturing organs or tissue to be removed from the body cavity during laparoscopic surgery.SAME – Indicated for use in laparoscopic procedures to capture organs or tissue to be removed from the body cavity.
Volume50 to 6000 mL (Predicate)50 to 3000 mL (GENICON) - Note: Reduced volume range compared to predicate, but still deemed substantially equivalent for its intended use.
Cannula Diameter5 to 15 mm (Predicate)SAME – 5 to 15 mm.
SterilizationSterile/Single-Use.SAME – Sterile/Single-Use.
Prescription OnlyYes.SAME – Yes.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document primarily discusses "bench testing" and "performance studies" for non-clinical evaluation. It does not specify sample sizes for these tests, nor does it explicitly mention data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective). These are typically internal corporate tests supporting substantial equivalence claims.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not applicable as the submission is for a physical medical device (specimen retrieval bag) and relies on technical bench testing and comparison to a predicate, not clinical "ground truth" established by experts in the context of diagnostic interpretation.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. This is not a study involving human interpretation or 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/ML device.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The "ground truth" in this context is the predicate device's established performance and the generally accepted engineering and material standards for medical devices (e.g., ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, sterility standards). The new device's performance is compared against these established benchmarks through non-clinical bench testing.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. There is no AI/ML algorithm requiring a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. There is no AI/ML algorithm requiring a training set.

Testing showed that the same requirements as the predicate device. Additionally, the following tests were also conducted: packaging validation, visual inspection, biocompatibility testing, and sterilization validation.

8. Clinical Tests

There were no clinical trials performed on the GENICON Simple Specimen Retrieval Bags.

    1. Conclusions
      The subject device has equivalent indications for use as the predicate device. The technological characteristics, non-clinical testing and performance and bench testing of the GENICON Simple Specimen Retrieval Bags show that the device is as safe, as effective, and meets the same performance standard. Therefore, the proposed GENICON Simple Specimen Retrieval Bags are substantially equivalent to the predicate.
