The Ultravision™ Visual Field Clearing System is indicated for the clearance of smoke and other particulate matter that is created during laparoscopic surgery.
The Ultravision™ 5mm Trocar component also establishes a path of entry for instruments used in laparoscopic surgery.
The Ultravision™ Visual Clearing System removes surgical smoke from the visual field during laparoscopic surgery by means of electrostatic precipitation. The System consists of the Ultravision™ Generator, the Ionwand Sterile Pack, and the Ionwand 5mm Trocar. The Ionwand is connected to the energy source and is then introduced into the body cavity near the smoke generating electrosurgical device. The Ultravision™ 5mm Trocar is intended for use only with the Ultravision™ Visual Field Clearing System to introduce the Ionwand while providing a pathway for laparoscopic instruments through one 5 mm trocar incision. The Ultravision™ 5mm Trocar provides an alternative to the currently available Ultravision™ Visual Field Clearing System Ionwand™ Sterile Pack for introduction of the Ionwand. The trocar may be used with or without the Ionwand component of the system. The system is powered using a rechargeable battery or through mains power. Accessories include the rechargeable battery, battery recharging station, mains converter power supply, mains converter, power supply unit, and patient return adaptor.
This request is about a medical device called the "Ultravision™ Visual Field Clearing System," which is a surgical smoke precipitator. The provided text is an FDA 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than detailed clinical performance studies or acceptance criteria for AI/ML performance.
Therefore, based on the provided document, the device does not employ Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning, and thus, none of the requested information regarding AI/ML acceptance criteria and performance evaluation is available.
The document describes a modification to an existing mechanical device (adding a mains power option), and the safety and effectiveness are established by comparing it to a previously cleared version of the same device. The "Nonclinical Performance Data" section mentions electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety standards, which are typical for medical devices but distinct from AI/ML performance evaluation.
§ 878.5050 Surgical smoke precipitator.
(a)
Identification. A surgical smoke precipitator is a prescription device intended for clearance of the visual field by precipitation of surgical smoke and other aerosolized particulate matter created during laparoscopic surgery.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) Adverse tissue reaction must be mitigated through the following:
(i) Chemical characterization and toxicological risk assessment of the treated surgical smoke.
(ii) Demonstration that the elements of the device that may contact the patient are biocompatible.
(2) Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended.
(3) Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed.
(4) Performance data must demonstrate the sterility of the patient contacting components of the device.
(5) Performance data must support the shelf life of the sterile components of the device by demonstrating continued functionality, sterility, and package integrity over the identified shelf life.
(6) Animal simulated-use testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use. The following performance characteristics must be tested:
(i) Device must be demonstrated to be effectively inserted, positioned, and removed from the site of use.
(ii) Device must be demonstrated to precipitate surgical smoke particulates to clear the visual field for laparoscopic surgeries.
(iii) Device must be demonstrated to be non-damaging to the site of use and animal subject.
(7) Labeling must identify the following:
(i) Detailed instructions for use.
(ii) Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility information.
(iii) A shelf life.
