Device Description

The ATS 5000 is a non-sterile dual-port microprocessor controlled pneumatic tourniquet instrument intended to be used by qualified medical professionals to temporarily occlude blood flow in a patient's extremities during surgical procedures on those extremities. The ATS 5000 instrument is used in conjunction with available dual port tourniquet cuffs and hoses distributed/supplied by Zimmer Biomet Inc. A cuff is applied to a patient prior to the beginning of a procedure. Connective tubing is then attached to the cuff and then plugged into the ATS 5000 connector ports. The instrument is controlled via a touchscreen user interface.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the ATS 5000 Automatic Tourniquet Instrument. It details the device's indications for use, its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Zimmer ® A.T.S. ® 4000 Automatic Tourniquet System, K123553), and includes non-clinical performance data.

However, the document explicitly states that clinical performance data was not needed for this device. This means there was no study conducted to assess device performance against specific clinical acceptance criteria. Instead, the submission relies on non-clinical testing and the established safety and performance of the base technology and predicate device.

Therefore, I cannot provide information on acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria from the given text in the way you've requested for typical AI/ML medical devices, as this device (a pneumatic tourniquet) underwent a different regulatory pathway that did not require such a clinical study.

I can, however, extract details about the non-clinical performance data and the rationale for not requiring clinical data, as well as the overall conclusion regarding the device's safety and performance from the provided text.

Here's a breakdown of the information that can be extracted:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

  • Acceptance Criteria: The document mentions that "All tests passed according to predetermined acceptance criteria" for the non-clinical testing. However, the specific quantitative acceptance criteria for each test are not listed in this summary.
  • Reported Device Performance:
Test CategoryStandards Adhered To / DescriptionPerformance Outcome
Electrical Safety & EnvironmentalIEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-1-8All tests passed according to predetermined criteria.
Software & Device DevelopmentIEC 62304:2006, AAMI/ANSI HE-75:2009/(R)2018All tests passed according to predetermined criteria.
Device UsabilityIEC 60601-1-6, IEC 62366-1:2015All tests passed according to predetermined criteria.
Hardware & Software Testing/ValidationNot explicitly listed, but implied as part of the development process and validation.All tests passed according to predetermined criteria.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Not applicable as no clinical study was performed. The non-clinical tests would have their own sample sizes (e.g., number of units tested), but these are not provided in the summary.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not applicable as no clinical study was performed and thus no "ground truth" was established with experts in a clinical context.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not applicable as no clinical study was performed.

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:

  • Not applicable. This device is a pneumatic tourniquet, not an AI/ML diagnostic tool.

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

  • Not applicable. This device is a pneumatic tourniquet; it's an instrument, not an algorithm. Its operation involves human interaction (qualified medical professionals).

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • Not applicable since no clinical study was conducted. For the non-clinical tests, "ground truth" would be defined by the technical specifications and standards (e.g., a pressure reading is accurate if it matches a calibrated reference).

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. This device did not involve machine learning with a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not applicable. This device did not involve machine learning with a training set.

Summary of why clinical data was not required:
The document states: "Clinical Performance – Clinical data was not needed for this device. Expanded functionality which falls outside the 510(k) exemption classification, does not require additional clinical data as the base technology safety and performance is well established. Existing literature, alongside the non-clinical performance data support the safety and performance of the proposed device."

This indicates that because the device is largely a modification or update to an existing, well-understood technology (pneumatic tourniquets), and the new features (Deflation Protocols, Cuff ID, EZ Method to measure LOP) were either considered minor enhancements or had their safety and performance supported by non-clinical testing and existing literature, a clinical study was not deemed necessary for substantial equivalence.

and cyst excisions, subcutaneous fasciotomy, nerve injuries, tendon repair, bone grafts, total wrist joint replacement, replacement of joints in the fingers, knee joint replacements, amputations, replantations.

Comparison to Predicate Device: The ATS 5000 instrument is substantially equivalent to other legally marketing tourniquet systems, specifically the Zimmer ATS 4000 Automatic Tourniquet System, in that the devices are similar in design, materials, and indications for use. A complete discussion of technological characteristics of the ATS 5000 compared to the predicate device may be found in Section 12. The below table highlights the primary technological differences that we believe

Technological Characteristics:

FeatureDiscussion
DeflationProtocolsTwo user-selectable deflation protocols allow the user to vary from the standardrapid deflation near the end of surgery.Cyclic Deflation: enables rapid detection and intervention for cauterization ofbleeding vessels immediately prior to wound closure.Step Deflation: enables gradual cuff deflation to allow for gradual return of arterialflow.Both types of deflation protocols are achievable through manual changes to thepressure (same between the proposed and predicate devices). Automatic protocols,if selected, can simplify the perioperative workflow, and may simplify andstandardize the detection and management of bleeding vessels.
Cuff IDBarcode reader module in the instrument to scan cuff packing labels. If it is abarcode identified by the device the instrument will recognize the cuff as being oneof the cuffs listed in the Instructions for Use and will display cuff details for the userto view (EZ Method enabled, dual ports, limb circumference range).New feature to further personalize tourniquet usage by taking into account specificdetails of recognized cuffs. Barcode reader module will scan any label, but will onlydisplay cuff details of recognized cuffs.
EZ Methodto measureLOPThe EZ Method measures LOP by employing a tourniquet cuff recognized by Cuff IDto monitor arterial pulsations in an underlying limb by sensing pneumatic pressurepulsations in the cuff associated with volume changes in the limb as the cuffpressure is gradually increased. LOP is determined to be the cuff pressure at whichthe monitored arterial pulsations reach a certain threshold. The EZ Method is onlyenabled for cuffs recognized by Cuff ID.The EZ Method is a supplementary method to measure LOP, in addition to theDistal Method. The EZ Method enables the LOP measurement to be completedwithout the need for a Distal Sensor, thereby increasing convenience and speed andreducing disruptions of the perioperative workflow. Both methods monitor arterialpulsations to determine LOP as a cuff is gradually inflated. EZ Method and DistalMethod provide equivalent measurements of LOP.
