The provided text describes the regulatory clearance of the Olympus Winter & Ibe GmbH Electrosurgical Generator ESG-150. Based on the document, here's a breakdown of the requested information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly present a discrete table of performance acceptance criteria with numerical targets. Instead, the acceptance criteria are implicitly tied to compliance with recognized standards and demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device (Olympus ESG-400), particularly regarding safety and tissue effects. The device is deemed to meet these criteria if it performs comparably to the predicate device in relevant aspects and adheres to established safety standards.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Premarket Notification (510(k)) Guidance Compliance | "The data was prepared in accordance with the FDA guidance. Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Electrosurgical Devices for General Surgery Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, issued on August 15, 2016. The guidance was followed for all relevant sections." |
| Biocompatibility | "Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993 is not required." (because components do not come directly or indirectly into patient contact) |
| Electrical Safety and EMC | "The design of the ESG-150 complies with recognized standards as listed in section 2.8.8 of this summary." (e.g., AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ANSI AAMI IEC 60601-2-2). "The FDA guidance 'Information to Support a Claim of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) of Electrically-Powered Medical Devices', CDRH July 11, 2016 has been followed." |
| Thermal Safety | "The design of the ESG-150 complies with recognized standards as listed in section 2.8.8 of this summary." |

"During the validation testing the waveforms and test results were compared directly between the subject and predicate device." "Basic safety and performance testing was performed in accordance with IEC standards." "Preclinical: Evidence obtained from preclinical simulated use studies demonstrate that the device performs substantially equivalent to the predicate device in relevant aspects associated with usability, tissue effects, and thermal effects." "For simulated use testing, three clinically relevant tissue types were evaluated in all applicable modes: porcine muscle, liver, and kidney." "The thermal damage of the tissue due to the HF current was measured in terms of size (length, width and depth) of the thermal coagulation zone." "Furthermore, each test included the minimum, default and maximum intensity settings. All modes were compared to the predicate." "Testing confirmed that comparable tissue effects could be achieved for applicable modes of operation with three tissue types." |
| Usability | "Usability and user interface was also assessed according to the risk management plan. The assessment was based on Olympus predecessor product. Use-related hazardous situations were assessed and risk mitigation measures in terms of usability design for safety were defined. The residual risk was evaluated as acceptable." Compliance with IEC 60601-1-6 and IEC 62366-1. |
| Risk Analysis | "Risk analysis was carried out in accordance with established internal acceptance criteria based on ISO 14971:2007." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: The document specifies that for simulated use testing, "three clinically relevant tissue types were evaluated in all applicable modes: porcine muscle, liver, and kidney." It doesn't provide a specific numerical count for samples within each tissue type for "length, width and depth" measurements.
- Data Provenance: The studies were preclinical simulated use studies using "porcine muscle, liver, and kidney" tissue. This indicates an in vitro or ex vivo setting, not human data. The country of origin of the data is not explicitly stated, but the manufacturer is based in Germany.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
The document does not mention the use of experts to establish ground truth for the test set in the traditional sense of clinical assessment. The "ground truth" for the performance testing was based on direct measurements of tissue effects (thermal coagulation zone size) and comparison to the predicate device's performance according to established scientific and engineering principles.
4. Adjudication Method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the Test Set
No adjudication method involving multiple human reviewers is mentioned or applicable, as the performance evaluation was based on objective measurements in preclinical bench and simulated use studies.
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
No MRMC study was conducted. This device is an electrosurgical generator, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool that assists human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was Done
This question is not applicable. The ESG-150 is a medical device, not an algorithm. Its performance is evaluated through its functional output and interaction with tissue, which is inherently standalone in its operation (though intended for human use with instruments).
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For the preclinical simulated use studies, the "ground truth" was based on direct quantitative and qualitative assessment of tissue effects, specifically "thermal damage... measured in terms of size (length, width and depth) of the thermal coagulation zone" on animal tissue (porcine muscle, liver, and kidney). This is an objective, measurable physical effect, not subjective expert consensus or pathology on human samples. For other tests (electrical safety, EMC), the ground truth was conformance to recognized international standards.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
No training set is mentioned in the context of this device. This device is an electrosurgical generator, which does not typically involve machine learning or AI models that require training data. Its design and performance are based on engineering principles and electrical output characteristics.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

2.6 Technological Characteristics
The ESG-150 has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate device ESG-400, however, the ESG 400 is indicated for both open and laparoscopic surgery in addition to endoscopic.
While various instruments can be connected to the monopolar and bipolar sockets, because the PK modes of the predicate device (K141225) are not integrated in the ESG-150, the flare out detection is not applicable. The basic design philosophy of the User Interface (UI) and GUI flow chart concept is identical, except for the special ESG-400 amendment in regard to the PK instruments.
In comparison to the primary predicate device the following output modes are available:
| Subject Device:ESG-150 | Predicate Device:ESG-400 |
|---|---|
| PureCut | PureCut |
| PulseCut Slow | PulseCut slow |
| PulseCut Fast | PulseCut fast |

- Performance and validation tests incorporated the same range of waveform outputs and power levels.
-
- During the validation testing the waveforms and test results were compared directly between the subject and predicate device
Basic safety and performance testing was performed in accordance with IEC standards. In addition, verification and comparison bench studies were conducted to evaluate the functional performance.
{8}------------------------------------------------
Preclinical: Evidence obtained from preclinical simulated use studies demonstrate that the device performs substantially equivalent to the predicate device in relevant aspects associated with usability, tissue effects, and thermal effects. For simulated use testing, three clinically relevant tissue types were evaluated in all applicable modes: porcine muscle, liver, and kidney. The tissue effects testing included quantitative and qualitative assessment.
In accordance with FDA Guidance. Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Electrosurgical Devices for General Surgery, the thermal damage of the tissue due to the HF current was measured in terms of size (length, width and depth) of the thermal coagulation zone. Furthermore, each test included the minimum, default and maximum intensity settings. All modes were compared to the predicate. Where the minimum or maximum intensity settings of the test and predicate device differed in terms of output wattage by specification the closest applicable settings were chosen.
These comprehensive validation bench tests support equivalence to the predicate device. Testing confirmed that comparable tissue effects could be achieved for applicable modes of operation with three tissue types.
Usability and user interface was also assessed according to the risk management plan. The assessment was based on Olympus predecessor product. Use-related hazardous situations were assessed and risk mitigation measures in terms of usability design for safety were defined. The residual risk was evaluated as acceptable.
