AI/ML Overview

This document describes the Renuvion/J-Plasma Precise Handpiece and Renuvion/J-Plasma Precise Open Handpiece, intended for use with compatible electrosurgical generators for soft tissue cutting, coagulation, and ablation during open and laparoscopic surgical procedures.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the supporting studies:

  1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

    Test / Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Mechanical & Electrical Verification and Functionality
    Pneumatic TestingVerified
    Electrical Continuity TestVerified
    Cable Flexure / Tension TestVerified
    Connector Dielectric Strength TestVerified
    Mold Stress TestVerified
    Free-fall Drop TestVerified
    Insertion/Extraction Integrity (Reduced insertion/extraction force to plug/unplug)Verified (The document specifically notes a reduction in insertion/extraction force compared to predicate devices, indicating this was a design change tested and met)
    Usability EvaluationProtocol executed to verify and validate usability "as it relates to safety." (Satisfactorily conducted)
    Biocompatibility Testing (for external communicating device with indirect blood path, < 24 hours)Conducted per FDA Blue Book Memo #G95-1 and ISO 10993-1. Included Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation, Systemic toxicity, Hemolysis, and Material Mediated Pyrogen. Verification testing for changed patient-contacting components (flow tube coupler and O-ring) was satisfactorily conducted.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for each mechanical, electrical, usability, or biocompatibility test. It mentions "Performance testing" was performed, indicating that multiple units were likely tested for each criterion. The data provenance is internal testing performed by the manufacturer, Bovie Medical Corporation. The tests are prospective as they were performed on the new device models to demonstrate their safety and efficacy.

  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    This information is not provided. The tests described are primarily engineering, electrical, and biological evaluations, typically not requiring medical experts for "ground truth" establishment in the same way clinical studies would. The "usability evaluation" would have involved users, but their qualifications are not specified beyond being relevant to using the "J-Plasma Pistol Grip Handpiece."

  4. Adjudication method for the test set:

    This information is not provided and is not typically relevant for the type of engineering and biocompatibility testing described. The tests would likely have pass/fail criteria based on predefined specifications.

  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, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is an electrosurgical handpiece, not an AI diagnostic or assistance tool, so such a study would not be applicable.

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

    No, this is an electrosurgical handpiece, a physical medical device, not a software algorithm. Therefore, "standalone" algorithm performance is not applicable.

  7. The type of ground truth used:

    The ground truth for the various tests was based on:

    • Engineering Specifications: For mechanical and electrical tests (e.g., connector dielectric strength, cable flexure, integrity of insertion/extraction force).
    • Regulatory Standards: For biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993 guidelines, FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1).
    • Safety and Efficacy Requirements: For usability evaluation, ensuring the device is safe and performs as intended.
  8. The sample size for the training set:

    This concept is not applicable as this is a physical medical device, not a machine learning algorithm requiring a training set.

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

    This concept is not applicable as this is a physical medical device, not a machine learning algorithm requiring a training set.

Device Description Renuvion/J-Plasma Handpieces (J-Plasma Precise and Precise Open):

The Renuvion/J-Plasma Handpieces are sterile, single use electrosurgical accessories intended to be used in conjunction with compatible electrosurgical generators for the delivery of helium gas plasma for cutting, coagulating soft tissue. The compatible Generators operate at an adjustable power of up to 40W (expressed as 0-100% is 40W) and provide an adjustable helium gas flow of 1-5 LPM. The Renuvion/J-Plasma Handpieces are available with a retractable cutting blade tip for excising tissue. The blade tip serves as an electrode to generate helium plasma.

The Renuvion/J-Plasma Precise devices are available in 15cm, 27cm and 33cm lengths for use in laparoscopic or open surgical procedures. The 27cm are standard lengths for laparoscopic instruments and are compatible with standard 5mm trocars.

The Renuvion/J-Plasma Precise Open devices are available in 44mm and 150mm for used in open surgical procedures.

Intended Use & Technological Characteristics

The handpieces have the same intended use as the predicate devices. There are no technological differences or changes to the principle of operation or to the method of application. There are no changes to sterilization methods.

The design of Handpieces compared to the predicate devices are identical except for the following differences:

  • . The plug connector to the generator is dimensioned so that it will establish a pneumatic seal connection before an electrical connection (pins shortened, and O-ring added to replace silicone seal).
  • Reduced insertion/extraction force to pluq/unplug the device to/from the generator.

Performance Data

Performance testing to assure that the Renuvion/J-Plasma Precise and Precise Open Handpieces met performance requirements were performed and are summarized in the following table:

TestObjective
Mechanical & ElectricalVerification andFunctionalityVerify the mechanical and electrical functionality ofthe handpiece Pneumatic Testing Electrical Continuity test Perform Cable Flexure / Tension Test Connector Dielectric Strength Test Mold Stress Test Free-fall Drop Test Insertion/Extraction Integrity
Usability EvaluationThe purpose of this protocol is to verify andvalidate the usability of the J-Plasma Pistol GripHandpiece as it relates to safety.

Biocompatibility Testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the Renuvion/J-Plasma Handpieces was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing," May 1, 1995, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. The battery of evaluations included the following testing:

  • l Cytotoxicity
  • I Sensitization
  • Irritation
  • Systemic toxicity
  • 트 Hemolysis
  • . Material Mediated Pyrogen

The Renuvion/J-Plasma handpieces are an external communicating device with an indirect blood path contact for a duration of less than 24 hours; Biocompatibility has been established per ISO 10993 guidelines for this category. Due to the redesign of the plug connector, changes on materials were made to two patient contacting components, flow tube coupler and O-ring. Biocompatibility verification testing was satisfactorily conducted for these components.

Conclusion

There is no difference between the predicates, Precise J-Plasma handpiece and Precise Open handpiece and the Subject devices in terms of intended use, principle of operation, and the technology used for device performance. There is no new technology and there are no differences that would raise new or different questions of safety or efficacy.

Verification and validation testing of the Renuvion/J-Plasma handpieces demonstrate that the devices perform as intended.
