2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- System Testing (Burst Pressure): Not explicitly stated, but "vessels representative of the devices' indications" were used.
- System Testing (Thermal Spread): Not explicitly stated.
- Acute Animal Study: "Large porcine animal models" were used. The number of animals is not specified.
- Chronic Survival Study: "Large porcine animal models" were used. The number of animals is not specified.
- Data Provenance: The animal studies were conducted using porcine models, indicating prospective animal study data. The location of these studies is not specified, but the submission is to the U.S. FDA.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
- Acute Animal Study: "Functional staining techniques" were used, and "Samples were sent to a qualified histopathology laboratory for evaluation." The number and specific qualifications of the histopathologists are not provided.
- Chronic Survival Study: "Vessels representative of the devices' indications were sealed and evaluated by a qualified histopathologist for hemostasis and signs of hematoma." The number and specific qualifications of the histopathologists are not provided.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not explicitly describe an adjudication method for conflicting expert opinions. The evaluations were performed by "qualified histopathologists," implying a certain level of expertise, but no mention of multiple reviewers or a consensus process.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was mentioned. The studies focus on device performance characteristics rather than human reader improvement with AI assistance. This device is an electrosurgical tool, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
This is not applicable as the Voyant Fine Fusion device is an electrosurgical instrument for direct surgical use, not an AI algorithm. The software mentioned is for the device's internal control, not for diagnostic or analytical tasks that would typically involve standalone algorithm performance evaluation in the context of AI.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- System Testing (Burst Pressure & Thermal Spread): Objective measurements (burst pressure values, thermal spread measurements) of physical properties served as the ground truth.
- Animal Studies (Acute & Chronic): Histopathological evaluation of tissue (cellular viability, hemostasis, signs of hematoma) by qualified histopathologists served as the ground truth for biological effects.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
No training set is mentioned in the context of this device. The software verification refers to the internal software script of the device, not an AI model that undergoes training.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as no training set for an AI model is mentioned for this electrosurgical device.

Indications for The Voyant Fine Fusion device is a bipolar, electrosurgical device indicated for use with the Voyant electrosurgical generator in open procedures, Use: including head and neck procedures, where the ligation and division of vessels and tissue bundles is desired. The device can seal and divide vessels up to and including 7mm in diameter and tissue bundles that can be captured in the jaws of the device.
The device has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures, and should not be used for these procedures.
Summary of Technological Characteristics between Subject and Predicate Devices:
The subject and predicate devices are single-use, electrosurgical hand piece devices designed to deliver RF energy to vessels and tissue captured between its jaws for tissue fusion. Both devices feature a scissor-grip style handle and a button for energy activation. The devices are equipped with a mechanical, user-actuated blade for the division of sealed tissue.
The subject device design is the same as the predicate, with the exception of the change in software of the device, design of the device plug, and extension of the device's shelf life from 6 months to 36 months. The fundamental technological features, and intended use of the subject device are the same as the predicate device.
Discussion of Performance Testing:
The FDA guidance documents Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Electrosurgical Devices for General Surgery (2020), Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Bipolar Electrosurgical Vessel Sealers for General Surgery (2016), and Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (2005) were considered in evaluating the subject device's electrical, software, and functional capabilities. The tests addressed below were utilized to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the subject device and substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
EMC, Electrical Safety, and Mechanical Testing
The Voyant Fine Fusion device was designed and evaluated in accordance with relevant standards of the IEC 60601 series for electromagnetic compatibility and electrical testing and met all acceptance criteria.
Simulated repeated-use testing was conducted to verify the continued performance of the device over multiple device activations. The passing result of the study conducted on the predicate device are sufficient for the subject device, and need not be repeated to demonstrate mechanical performance of the subject device.
{5}------------------------------------------------
K202818
System Testing
The following testing was performed using the subject device in comparison to the predicate:
- Burst pressure testing using vessels representative of the devices' indications. These vessels were sealed, and the burst pressure of each vessel was recorded.
- -Thermal spread testing to evaluate the thermal spread damage produced by the subject and predicate devices.
Analysis of the results of these tests demonstrated that the subject device met the predetermined acceptance criteria and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to these test endpoints.
Animal Testing
An acute animal study was conducted using large porcine animal models to examine the thermal damage produced by the subject and predicate devices. Cellular viability was analyzed using functional staining techniques. Samples were sent to a qualified histopathology laboratory for evaluation.
A chronic survival study was performed using large porcine animal models to evaluate long-term seal quality, device performance, and the potential for an adverse effect on adjacent structures. Vessels representative of the devices' indications were sealed and evaluated by a qualified histopathologist for hemostasis and signs of hematoma. The study demonstrated that the subject device met the predetermined acceptance criteria.
The results of both the acute and chronic animal studies demonstrate safety and efficacy of the subject device, and confirm its substantially equivalent performance to the predicate device.
Software Verification
Unit, integration, and system level software testing were conducted to evaluate the design, implementation, and performance of the device software script.
Biocompatibility
In accordance with ISO 10993-1 and the 2016 FDA guidance. Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process", the subject device met all acceptance criteria for the following biocompatibility evaluations:
- Cytotoxicity (per ISO 10993-5) ●
- . Intracutaneous Reactivity (per ISO 10993-10)
- Sensitization (per ISO 10993-10) ●
- . Acute Systemic Toxicity (per ISO 10993-11)

K202818
Conclusion:
The subject Voyant Fine Fusion device with the updated software script is substantially equivalent in performance to the predicate Voyant Fine Fusion device with respect to intended use (i.e. vessel sealing performance and local tissue effects) and does not raise any new issues of safety and efficacy. The subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device for the intended use.
