Device Description

This 510(k) is for a labeling modification only, to include the following additional representative, specific foregut procedures under the cleared "general laparoscopic surgical procedures" Indications for Use of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System, Model IS4000 (K131861) and the da Vinci X Surgical System, Model IS4200 (K171294): Heller Myotomy, Hiatal/Paraesophageal/Sliding Hernia Repair, Dor Fundoplication and Toupet Fundoplication. There are no changes to the technological characteristics of the cleared da Vinci Xi or X Surgical Systems (Models IS4000 and IS4200) proposed in this submission. The da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems, Models IS4000 and IS4200, are software-controlled, electro-mechanical systems designed for surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery. The Model IS4000 and Model IS4200 Surgical Systems consist of a Surgeon Console, a Patient Side Cart (PSC), and a Vision Side Cart (VSC) and are used with an Endoscope, EndoWrist Instruments, and Accessories.

AI/ML Overview

The document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a labeling modification to the da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems (Models IS4000 and IS4200). The modification seeks to include additional "foregut" procedures (Heller Myotomy, Hiatal/Paraesophageal/Sliding Hernia Repair, Dor Fundoplication, and Toupet Fundoplication) under the already cleared "general laparoscopic surgical procedures" Indications for Use. The submission states that there are no changes to the technological characteristics of the device, implying that the device itself is not being changed, only its listed indications for use. Therefore, standard acceptance criteria for device performance (e.g., accuracy, precision, safety) in a new or modified device submission are not applicable here in the typical sense. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are related to demonstrating substantial equivalence for the expanded indications.

The study that proves the device meets the "acceptance criteria" (i.e., demonstrating substantial equivalence for the new indications) is a clinical literature review comparing the da Vinci-assisted procedures to minimally invasive/laparoscopic procedures for the "foregut" procedures.

Here's the breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Given that this 510(k) is for a labeling modification only, with no technological changes to the device, the "acceptance criteria" are implicitly tied to demonstrating substantial equivalence for the expanded indications through clinical outcomes. The device performance is reported by comparing outcomes of da Vinci-assisted procedures to standard minimally invasive/laparoscopic procedures.

Acceptance Criteria (Demonstration of Substantial Equivalence for New Indications via Clinical Outcomes)Reported Device Performance (Comparison of da Vinci-assisted vs. Minimally Invasive/Laparoscopic)
For Heller Myotomy ("Umbrella Procedure #1"): Substantially equivalent rates for:Heller Myotomy: Findings from publications demonstrate substantial equivalence based on: - Mortality Rates - Estimated Blood Loss (EBL) Volumes - Lengths of Hospital Stay (LOS) - Intraoperative Complication Rates - Post/Peri-Operative Complication Rates - Conversion Rates - Readmission Rates - Perforation Rates - Operative Times (See Table 1A for detailed study-specific data, e.g., Ali (2019): Robotic EBL Not Reported, Lap EBL Not Reported. Overall, across studies, these metrics were reported and determined to be comparable or equivalent.)
  - Mortality Rates 
  - Estimated Blood Loss (EBL) Volumes 
  - Lengths of Hospital Stay (LOS) 
  - Intraoperative Complication Rates 
  - Post/Peri-Operative Complication Rates 
  - Conversion Rates 
  - Readmission Rates 
  - Perforation Rates 
  - Operative Times 
For Hiatal/Paraesophageal/Sliding Hernia Repair ("Umbrella Procedure #2"): Substantially equivalent rates for:Hiatal/Paraesophageal/Sliding Hernia Repair: Findings from publications demonstrate substantial equivalence based on: - Mortality Rates - Estimated Blood Loss (EBL) Volumes - Blood Transfusion Rates - Lengths of Hospital Stay (LOS) - Intraoperative Complication Rates - Postoperative Complication Rates - Conversion Rates - Reoperation Rates - Readmission Rates - Operative Times (See Table 1B for detailed study-specific data, e.g., Gehrig (2013): Robotic Op Time 172±31 min, Lap Op Time 168±42 min. Overall, across studies, these metrics were reported and determined to be comparable or equivalent.)
  - Mortality Rates 
  - Estimated Blood Loss (EBL) Volumes 
  - Blood Transfusion Rates 
  - Lengths of Hospital Stay (LOS) 
  - Intraoperative Complication Rates 
  - Postoperative Complication Rates 
  - Conversion Rates 
  - Reoperation Rates 
  - Readmission Rates 
  - Operative Times 

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

  • Sample Size (Test Set): The sample sizes vary by study within the literature review. For Heller Myotomy, the combined robotic cases across the 8 studies in Table 1A total 1043 patients. The combined laparoscopic cases total 5787 patients. For Hiatal/Paraesophageal/Sliding Hernia Repair, the combined robotic cases across the 7 studies in Table 1B total 1878 patients. The combined laparoscopic cases total 7085 patients.
  • Data Provenance: The data provenance is from published clinical literature. The document states that "Fifteen (15) publications were identified...used in three (3) databases: PubMed, Scopus and Embase." These studies would encompass various countries and healthcare systems depending on the authors' affiliations. The study types include two (2) systematic reviews/meta-analyses, one (1) prospective study, two (2) database studies, and ten (10) retrospective studies.

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

The ground truth for the test set (the clinical outcomes reported in the literature) was established by the physicians and researchers who conducted the original studies. The document does not specify the number or specific qualifications of these original researchers, but it can be inferred that they are medical professionals and researchers in the field of surgery, as their work was published in peer-reviewed journals and structured as systematic reviews, prospective, database, and retrospective studies.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe a formal adjudication method for the test set in the context of the 510(k) submission. Instead, the "adjudication" of the clinical data comes from:

  • The peer-review process of the scientific journals where the original 15 papers were published.
  • The methodology of systematic reviews and meta-analyses included, which involve rigorous evaluation of study quality and results.
  • The FDA's own review of these publications to determine if they support substantial equivalence.

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 submission is for a surgical system and its indications, not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive tool that would typically involve human "readers" or AI assistance in interpretation. The comparison is between different surgical approaches (da Vinci-assisted vs. conventional laparoscopic), not between human performance with and without AI.


6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Given that the device is a surgical system (the da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems), which involves a human surgeon operating the robot, a "standalone algorithm only" performance study is not applicable or relevant to this device. This device is inherently "human-in-the-loop."


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used is clinical outcomes data reported in published medical literature. These outcomes include objective measures such as mortality rates, estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, complication rates (intraoperative and postoperative), conversion rates, readmission rates, perforation rates, reoperation rates, and operative times. This data is the direct result of actual surgical procedures.


8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. The submission describes a labeling modification for an existing surgical system. As there are no changes to the technological characteristics of the device and no new algorithm is being deployed, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI algorithms. The system's "training" for surgeons occurs through professional instruction and practice, not through a data-driven training set in the AI sense.


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

Not applicable, as there is no training set in the AI/ML context. If interpreted metaphorically, the "ground truth" for training surgeons on how to use the da Vinci system is established through medical education, surgical training programs, professional instructions for use, and clinical experience, guided by established surgical best practices and outcomes. However, this is not a ground truth for a machine learning training set as typically inquired.

Precaution for Representative Uses

The demonstration of safety and effectiveness for the representative specific procedures did not include evaluation of outcomes related to the treatment of cancer (overall survival, disease-free survival, local recurrence) or treatment of the patient's underlying disease/condition. Device usage in all surgical procedures should be guided by the clinical judgment of an adequately trained surgeon.

VI. COMPARISON OF INTENDED USE, INDICATIONS FOR USE AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE

There are no changes to the technological characteristics for the subject devices compared to the cleared predicate devices, da Vinci Xi Surgical System, Model IS4000 (K131861) and the da Vinci X Surgical System, Model IS4200 (K171294). This 510(k) is for a labeling modification to include representative, specific "foregut" procedures as labeled uses under the cleared "general laparoscopic surgical procedures" Indications for Use of the cleared predicate devices, da Vinci Xi Surgical System, Model IS4000 and the da Vinci X Surgical System, Model IS4200. The subject devices differ from the predicate devices by this modification to the labeling. Results of clinical data from the literature demonstrated that the subject devices have the same intended use as the predicate devices.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

There were no technological changes to the subject devices, thus no bench testing, electromagnetic compatibility testing, sterilization testing or biocompatibility testing was required.

Clinical Study Data

Published clinical data were provided to support use of the da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems (Models IS4000 and IS4200) in the subject representative, specific foregut procedures that fall under the cleared "general laparoscopic surgical procedures" Indication for Use. Clinical data were not provided for all of the representative, specific procedures. Instead, clinical data were provided only for the most complex/highest risk representative, specific procedures: Heller Myotomy and Hiatal/Paraesophageal/Sliding Hernia Repair (referred to as "umbrella" procedures). The published data for these "umbrella" procedures were deemed sufficient to cover the less complex/lower risk

{6}------------------------------------------------

procedures (referred to as "covered" procedures), so published clinical data on the covered procedures of "Dor Fundoplication" and "Toupet Fundoplication" were not provided.

Fifteen (15) publications were identified for the two (2) umbrella procedures based on specific search criteria and filters used in three (3) databases: PubMed, Scopus and Embase. The search terms, inclusion/exclusion criteria and a flowchart depicting the results from these searches is provided in Figure A. These publications included: two (2) systematic reviews/meta-analyses (LOE 2a); one (1) prospective study (LOE 2b); two (2) database studies (LOE 2c) and ten (10) retrospective studies (LOE 3b) comparing da Vinci-assisted procedures with minimally invasive/ laparoscopic cohorts. Detailed summaries of the published clinical data on these procedures are provided in Tables 1A and 1B.

Umbrella Procedure #1: Heller Myotomy

The findings from the Heller Myotomy publications demonstrate that da Vinci-assisted procedures as compared to minimally invasive/laparoscopic procedures are found to be substantially equivalent based on the following endpoints:

  • Mortality Rates
  • Estimated Blood Loss (EBL) Volumes
  • Lengths of Hospital Stay (LOS)
  • Intraoperative Complication Rates
  • Post/Peri-Operative Complication Rates
  • Conversion Rates
  • Readmission Rates
  • Perforation Rates
  • . Operative Times

Umbrella Procedure #2: Hiatal/Paraesophageal/Sliding Hernia Repair

The findings from the Hiatal/Paraesophageal/Sliding Hernia Repair publications demonstrate that da Vinci-assisted procedures as compared to minimally invasive/laparoscopic procedures are found to be substantially equivalent based on the following endpoints:

  • Mortality Rates
  • Estimated Blood Loss (EBL) Volumes
  • Blood Transfusion Rates
  • Lengths of Hospital Stay (LOS)
  • Intraoperative Complication Rates
  • Postoperative Complication Rates
  • Conversion Rates
  • Reoperation Rates
  • Readmission Rates
  • Operative Times

{7}------------------------------------------------

VIII. CONCLUSION

The da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems (models IS4000 and IS4200) have the same intended use as the predicate devices, as demonstrated by the clinical data from the literature to support the safety and effectiveness for the new labeled use of representative, specific "foregut" procedures under the "general laparoscopic surgical procedure" Indications for Use as compared to the predicate devices. In addition, the subject devices have the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices. Therefore, the da Vinci Xi and X Surgical Systems (Models IS4000 and IS4200) are substantially equivalent to the cleared predicate devices.
