Intended Use

The nephroscopy accessory set is intended for minimally invasive procedures in nephroscopy. The shaft is a reusable, surgically invasive device for shortterm use. It is designed to bring instruments, telescopes, and fluids to the surgical site. The Dilator is a reusable, surgically invasive device for temporary use. It is designed to widen existing surgically invasive openings.

Device Description

The TROKAMED GmbH Mini PCNL-System consists of shaft and dilator. The diameter is specified directly on the shaft and dilator. This ensures that the instrument can be assigned easily and only suitable components are used. The instruments cannot be disassembled. The puncture is expanded with the dilator at the beginning of surgery. The procedure, during which kidney stones can be destroyed, is then performed via the shaft. The kidney stones are automatically transported out of the proximal end of the shaft as a result of the cleaning pressure and by the irrigation fluid. The nephroscope may not be fully mounted on the shaft here.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device called the "Mini PCNL-System" by TROKAMED GmbH. It details a comparison to a predicate device and non-clinical performance testing. The document does not contain information about acceptance criteria and device performance in the context of a clinical study, human-in-the-loop performance, or AI assistance.

Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device through non-clinical testing of the physical characteristics, reprocessing, life expectancy, biocompatibility, and mechanical properties of the device components.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance related to diagnostic accuracy or clinical outcomes.
  • Sample size used for a test set (in a clinical context).
  • Data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for a clinical test set.
  • Number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing ground truth in a clinical setting.
  • Adjudication method for a clinical test set.
  • Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or effect size of AI assistance.
  • Standalone (algorithm-only) performance.
  • Type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data) for a clinical study.
  • Sample size for a training set (as this is not an AI/ML device).
  • How ground truth for a training set was established (as this is not an AI/ML device).

The document is about demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of a surgical instrument (an endoscope accessory set) through engineering and biological testing, not a diagnostic or AI-powered device.

Mini PCNL-System Endoscopic Access Overtube. Gastroenterology-Urology Endoscope and accessories (21 CFR 876.1500) FED (Endoscopic Access Overtube, Gastroenterology-Urology)

The TROKAMED GmbH Mini PCNL-System consists of shaft and dilator. The diameter is specified directly on the shaft and dilator. This ensures that the instrument can be assigned easily and only suitable components are used. The instruments cannot be disassembled. The puncture is expanded with the dilator at the beginning of surgery. The procedure, during which kidney stones can be destroyed, is then performed via the shaft. The kidney stones are automatically transported out of the proximal end of the shaft as a result of the cleaning pressure and by the irrigation fluid. The nephroscope may not be fully mounted on the shaft here.

Shafts

The nephroscopic shafts are rigid reusable instruments with inner lumen and are used as an introducer for the instrument into the surgical site. The shaft itself is introduced into the surgical site by the help of the dilator.

Example WA2PS20S:

Image /page/5/Figure/9 description: The image shows a diagram of a medical instrument. The instrument has three labeled parts: "Meatusring/Meatus ring", "Schaft/Shaft", and "Hauptteil/Main part". The "Hauptteil/Main part" is located on the left side of the image, the "Meatusring/Meatus ring" is in the middle, and the "Schaft/Shaft" is on the right side.

Dilators

The dilators are rigid reusable instruments. They are equipped with two lumens: one lumen in the center and one on the side. The quide wire (not included in this submission) is fed through the medial lumen. An additional safety wire (not included in this submission) can be guided through the lateral lumen. Markings indicate when the conical tip of the dilator is protruding from the shaft. Both types of dilators has the same total and working length, but different diameters. Example: WA2PD20A:

Reprocessing

The TROKAMED Mini PCNL-System is covered by the reprocessing validation (Worst Case principle) of study 194101-45 (02 AUG 2019, accredited laboratory Medical Device Services) including manual and automated cleaning before steam sterilization. Both, the subject and the predicate device are reusable, non-sterile instruments that have to be reprocessed by manual and automated cleaning before steam sterilization after receipt by the end user (before the first and after each subsequent use).

Life Expectancy Testing:

General product lifetime is according to 1.4301/ 304 instruments listed in document "FB-26 07 010 Product Life expectancy", nephroscopic instruments: these instruments are exposed to very low mechanical stress during minimally invasive surgery. Material durability, labeling and functionality are verified for the given lifetime. To test mechanical resistance, unaged and aged subject devices have been used and no difference between them was recognizable.

Biocompatibilitv

The biocompatibility of the device components has been stated in TROKAMED's biological assessment (Worst Case principle, Biocompatibility 2021-06-08, cytotoxicity, sensitization and irritation tests performed by accredited laboratories eurofins Medical Device Testing and Medical Device Services). The biological assessment is based on a Worst Case principle with a sample instrument (AUF11020) covering the subject device in all aspects of biocompatibility. The tests confirm that the materials used are biocompatible, separately as well as combined in the final subject device and including possible manufacturing contamination and residues. No potentially dangerous interactions or consequences have been identified if there is short termed contact to tissue, biological cells and body fluids of the human body.

Mechanical Testing:

Mechanical Test Report "2006-02-06 UB Tensile tests with tubes english" (Worst Case principle) lists details of tensile tests with TROKAMED shafts according to length and wall thickness, covering the dimensions of the subject device.

Mechanical Test Report "2014-09-23 Bending load of the shaft tubes English 10Jun2021" (Worst Case principle) shows that mechanical safety of the TROKAMED tube shaft instruments made of 1.4301/ 304 (welded and cold redrawn several times) based on strength of the tube material is given. The tested tube shaft instruments show that the TROKAMED shafts and dilators withstand the forces during application in minimally invasive surgery.

Mechanical Test Report "FB-15 02 001 TR Mini PCNL 01 mechanical test 15Sep2020" (subject device tested) is to show that the stability and strength of the connecting points of the subject device are solid enough for the forces applied during regular application according to the intended use. A cumulative simulation of processing had been performed. When used as intended, mainly axial forces occur. If at all, only very small lever forces occur in practice, which neither influence nor endanger the strength of the welded joints, nor the stability and dimensional stability of the instrument itself.

A comparison of technological characteristics between subject and predicate device shaft show that with comparable length and diameter, the wall thickness is 0.5 mm on the subject device compared to 0.25 mm on the predicate device. As a result, the mechanical stability of the subject device is at least the same as of the predicate device. The dilators are equivalent as well: the subject device has a larger working length (370 mm to 320 mm) but the larger outer diameter (4.9 mm to 4.0 mm) equalizes the mechanical stability.

Conclusion

The Mini PCNL-System has the same intended use and the same major design and technical characteristics as the predicate device.

The results of the non-clinical performance tests demonstrate that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.

Overall, the subject device is equivalent to the predicate device.
