Intended Use

The EASYGRIP FLO-41 Precision MIS Delivery System is indicated for delivering compatible hemostatic agents to bleeding sites through a 5 mm or larger trocar.

Device Description

The EASYGRIP FLO-41 Precision MIS Delivery System (EASYGRIP FLO-41 System) is a sterile, single-use device that consists of two components: (1) one applicator device with a 41 cm long cannula (5 mm outer diameter) and (2) one empty 1.5 mL syringe.

The EASYGRIP FLO-41 System is used to deliver compatible hemostatic agents to bleeding sites. After preparation of compatible hemostatic agent per the instructions, the proposed device is filled by first attaching the compatible hemostatic agent syringe to the syringe port by a Luer lock connection and depressing the syringe plunger, which then fills the enclosed 5 mL reservoir syringe with the hemostatic matrix. The delivery of hemostatic agent to the bleeding site would be performed by actuating the device trigger handle, which can be performed using one hand. As an optional step, if application of the residual hemostatic agent that remains within the cannula is needed, an empty, disposable 1.5 mL syringe is provided and would be filled with non-heparinized saline. Following the same steps as with the hemostatic agent, the reservoir syringe would be filled with 1.5 mL of saline and the residual hemostatic agent would be expelled from the cannula by actuating the device trigger handle.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

The document does not explicitly state the exact sample size ("n") for each specific performance test. However, it consistently uses statistical confidence levels for the acceptance criteria, such as "95% confidence that 95% of the devices" or "95% confidence that 90% of the devices." This implies that a sufficient sample size was used to achieve these confidence levels, likely determined by statistical power calculations for device testing.

The data provenance is retrospective in the sense that the testing was conducted by Baxter Healthcare Corporation to support their 510(k) submission. The data originates from the manufacturer's internal testing. There is no information regarding country of origin of the data beyond "Baxter Healthcare Corporation" being based in Round Lake, Illinois, USA.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not applicable to this type of device (an endoscopic applicator) and the conducted studies. The studies are bench tests evaluating mechanical and material performance, as well as biocompatibility. They do not involve clinical assessments, interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes that would require expert "ground truth" establishment in the way it is typically applied to diagnostic AI/ML devices.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 3. Bench tests and biocompatibility assessments do not involve adjudication by multiple experts. The "ground truth" for these tests is based on objective measurements and established standards.

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

This information is not applicable. The device is an endoscopic applicator, a physical medical device, not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance is not relevant to this submission.

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

This information is not applicable. As stated, the device is a physical endoscopic applicator, not an algorithm or AI system.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the performance tests in this submission is based on:

  • Objective measurements and engineering specifications: For tests like trigger force, tensile strength, leak tests, fill capacity, and bend tests, the "ground truth" is derived from direct measurement against predefined numerical targets and physical integrity.
  • Compliance with international standards: For luer lock and check valve tests, the "ground truth" is defined by adherence to specific ISO standards (ISO 80369-7, ISO 594-1, ISO 594-2).
  • Established biological safety criteria: For biocompatibility tests, the "ground truth" is based on the results of standardized assays (ISO 10993-5, 10993-10, 10993-11) demonstrating non-cytotoxicity, non-sensitization, non-irritation, and acceptable systemic toxicity and pyrogenicity.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML model, so there is no "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

Biocompatibility:

For the device fluid path, biocompatibility assessments were conducted to meet an ISO 10993-1 Qualification of External Communicating Devices; Tissue, Bone, Dentin; Limited (<24 hrs) contact. Biocompatibility assessments were conducted on final, finished and sterilized devices for all fluid path materials of EASYGRIP FLO-41 Precision MIS Delivery System. The following tests were conducted as part of the biocompatibility testing for the device fluid path of the EASYGRIP FLO-41 Precision MIS Delivery System:

  • Cytotoxicity ISO 10993-5
  • Sensitization ISO 10993-10
  • Intracutaneous (Irritation) Reactivity ISO 10993-10
  • Systemic Toxicity (acute) ISO 10993-11
  • Materials Mediated Pyrogen ISO 10993-11

Based upon the results of this limited duration, external communicating, tissue, bone, dentin testing, the EASYGRIP FLO-41 Precision MIS Delivery System has been shown to be biocompatible and appropriate for its intended use.

CONCLUSION:

The performance testing, (e.g., Interface Leak Test, Tensile Strength Test, Consecutive Delivery of Hemostatic Agent Test), summarized in Table 4, support that the EASYGRIP FLO-41 Precision MIS Delivery System performs comparably to the predicate device. Additional supporting data, such as the biocompatibility testing, demonstrate the safety of the EASYGRIP FLO-41 Precision MIS Delivery System. The performance and safety data support that the EASYGRIP FLO-41 Precision MIS Delivery System does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
