The AURORA Surgiscope System is intended for use in neurosurgery and endoscopic neurosurgery and pure neuroendoscopy (i.e. ventriculoscopy) for visualization, diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures such as ventriculostomies, biopsies and removal of cysts, tumors and other obstructions.
The Aurora Surgiscope System consists of two components: (1) a sterile, single use, sheath with integrated illumination LEDs and camera, with an obturator, and (2) a non-sterile, reusable control unit, Image Control Box (ICB).
The sheath is intended to provide access to the surgical site by acting as the insertable portion of the device, as well as the instrument channel to accommodate other surgical tools. Depth markers are present along the length of the sheath for user reference.
At the proximal end of the sheath is the imager, which comprises the following components: LEDs (light emitting diodes), camera (and optical components), and focus knob.
- . The LEDs provide illumination to the surgical field by directing light down the sheath, along the instrument channel.
- The camera captures video image of the surgical field.
The proximal end of the sheath also contains a tab, which serves as the location for the fixation arm to hold/fix the device. To facilitate insertion of the surgical site, an obturator is provided with the device. During insertion, the obturator is fully inserted into the entire unit is advanced to the desired location. The distal end of the obturator is conical in shape to minimize tissue damage. In addition, the proximal handle of the obturator is designed to accommodate various stereotactic instruments for neuronavigation. Once inserted, the obturator is removed.
The ICB is a non-sterile device that provides three main functions in the AURORA Surgiscope System:
- . To power the Surgiscope LEDs and camera
- . To relay the video feed captured by the Surgiscope camera to a display monitor for real-time image visualization
- . To allow the user to make adjustments to the displayed video feed (e.g., contrast, brightness), as well as vary the LED light output.
The user interface is a membrane keypad with buttons located on the ICB that can be depressed for image adjustment, such as zoom, contrast, brightness, and orientation. The ICB is supplied with two cables: A power cable for connection to an AC wall outlet, and a display cable for connection to a high definition surgical monitor.
The provided text describes the AURORA Surgiscope System, a neurological endoscope. However, it does not contain specific acceptance criteria in terms of diagnostic performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) or details of a study designed to demonstrate them.
The document discusses various non-clinical tests performed to demonstrate the device's safety and substantial equivalence to a predicate device. These tests fall under general medical device regulatory requirements rather than specific performance outcomes for an AI/algorithm-driven device.
Therefore, for almost all of the requested information, the answer is that the data is not available in the provided text.
Here's a breakdown based on the information provided:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criterion | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Not specified in terms of diagnostic performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) for an algorithm. The document focuses on performance related to safety, electrical compatibility, software validation, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. | N/A |
2. Sample size used for the test set and data provenance
The document describes non-clinical testing for the device (biocompatibility, electrical safety, software V&V, mechanical testing), but does not mention a "test set" in the context of diagnostic performance or AI model evaluation.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and their qualifications
N/A. The document does not describe a study involving expert review for establishing ground truth related to diagnostic performance.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
N/A. No test set for diagnostic performance is described.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No. The document does not describe an MRMC study or any study evaluating human reader improvement with AI assistance. The device is a surgical endoscope, not an AI diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
No. The document does not describe a standalone algorithm performance study.
7. The type of ground truth used
N/A. The concept of "ground truth" in the context of diagnostic or AI performance is not relevant to the non-clinical testing described. The "truth" in these tests relates to engineering specifications, material properties, safety standards, and software functionality.
8. The sample size for the training set
N/A. No training set for an AI/algorithm is described. The software validation mentioned (point 4 in "SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING") refers to the software controlling the endoscope's functions, not an AI algorithm for diagnostic purposes.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
N/A. No training set is described.
Summary of what the document DOES describe regarding "studies" and "performance":
The document outlines a series of non-clinical tests that demonstrate the device's safety and functional performance in accordance with regulatory standards for a medical device (neurological endoscope). These include:
- Biocompatibility testing: MEM Elution (cytotoxicity), Sensitization (Kligman Maximization), Irritation (Intracutaneous Injection), Systemic Toxicity (Systemic Injection), Hemolysis (Indirect), Materials Mediated Pyrogenicity. The device sheath with LEDs and camera is considered tissue-contacting for less than 24 hours. The ICB (Image Control Box) has no patient contact.
- Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): Compliance with IEC 60601-1-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-2-18.
- Software verification and validation testing: Conducted as per FDA Guidance for "major level of concern" software (meaning failure could cause serious injury or death). This ensures the software controlling the device functions correctly.
- Mechanical and other testing: Dimensional, imaging (visualization, resolution), illumination, tensile strength, simulated use (clinician evaluation), instrument compatibility, particulate testing (USP <788>), sterilization (ISO 11135-1 for SAL of 10-6), packaging and shelf-life (ISTA 2A and ASTM F1980).
These tests are designed to show the device is safe and performs its intended function (visualization, diagnostic/therapeutic procedures using an endoscope), and that it is substantially equivalent to a predicate device based on its technical characteristics. It does not involve AI or diagnostic performance metrics typically requested for such systems.

PREDICATE DEVICE
AURORA Surgiscope System, Rebound Therapeutics, K191861 NICO BrainPath, NICO Corp, K172433 (Reference device)
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Aurora Surgiscope System consists of two components: (1) a sterile, single use, sheath with integrated illumination LEDs and camera, with an obturator, and (2) a non-sterile, reusable control unit, Image Control Box (ICB).
The sheath is intended to provide access to the surgical site by acting as the insertable portion of the device, as well as the instrument channel to accommodate other surgical tools. Depth markers are present along the length of the sheath for user reference.
At the proximal end of the sheath is the imager, which comprises the following components: LEDs (light emitting diodes), camera (and optical components), and focus knob.
- . The LEDs provide illumination to the surgical field by directing light down the sheath, along the instrument channel.
- The camera captures video image of the surgical field.
The proximal end of the sheath also contains a tab, which serves as the location for the fixation arm to hold/fix the device. To facilitate insertion of the surgical site, an obturator is provided with the device. During insertion, the obturator is fully inserted into the entire unit is advanced to the desired location. The distal end of the obturator is conical in shape to minimize tissue damage. In addition, the proximal handle of the obturator is designed to accommodate various stereotactic instruments for neuronavigation. Once inserted, the obturator is removed.
The ICB is a non-sterile device that provides three main functions in the AURORA Surgiscope System:
{4}------------------------------------------------
- . To power the Surgiscope LEDs and camera
- . To relay the video feed captured by the Surgiscope camera to a display monitor for real-time image visualization
- . To allow the user to make adjustments to the displayed video feed (e.g., contrast, brightness), as well as vary the LED light output.
The user interface is a membrane keypad with buttons located on the ICB that can be depressed for image adjustment, such as zoom, contrast, brightness, and orientation. The ICB is supplied with two cables: A power cable for connection to an AC wall outlet, and a display cable for connection to a high definition surgical monitor.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Aurora Surgiscope System is intended for use in neurosurgery and endoscopic neurosurgery and pure neuroendoscopy (i.e. ventriculoscopy) for visualization, diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures such as ventriculostomies, biopsies and removal of cysts, tumors and other obstructions.
SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING
The following testing was conducted to demonstrate the safe and substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
- (1) Biocompatibility testing
The AURORA Surgiscope System is intended to come into direct contact with human tissue during use and was evaluated and tested per the requirements and recommendations of the FDA Guidance, "Use of ISO-10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process." The battery of testing included the following tests:
-Cytotoxicity (MEM Elution) -Sensitization (Kligman Maximization) -Irritation (Intracutaneous Injection) -Systemic Toxicity (Systemic Injection) -Hemolysis (In direct) -Materials Mediated Pyrogenicity
The sheath with LEDs and camera portion is considered a tissue contacting and externally communicating for a duration of less than 24 hours. The ICB is not intended to have direct or indirect patient contact and therefore biocompatibility for it was not evaluated.
-
(2) Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the AURORA Surgiscope System consisting of both components, sheath with LEDs and camera, and the ICB. The system complied with the IEC 60601-1-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-2-18. -
(3) Software verification and validation testing
