Intended Use

StitchKit® Suture Delivery Canister facilitates minimally invasive robotic surgery by transporting suture to the operative field and removing used needles after suturing. The suture contained within the StitchKit® device is intended for soft tissue approximation where use of the specific absorbable or non-absorbable sutures contained within it is appropriate.

Device Description

StitchKit® COMBO is a suture delivery canister which facilitates endoscopic robotic surgery by introducing multiple strands of different suturing materials to the surgical site at one time and allowing for the safe retrieval of the needles. It is sized to be passed through a ≥12 mm trocar. As suturing is completed with each strand, the used needle is placed into a disposal compartment within the canister for safekeeping until the entire canister is removed through the trocar using the attached retrieval string. It is supplied sterile in a foil pouch. Each StitchKit® version contains strands of existing legallymarketed Suturing Materials, cleared for use within the StitchKit®.

AI/ML Overview

This looks like a 510(k) summary for a medical device called "StitchKit® COMBO Suture Delivery Canister". Based on the provided text, the device is explicitly a suture delivery system and not an AI or imaging device, so the requested information about AI performance, ground truth, expert adjudication, etc., is not applicable.

Here's a breakdown of why the requested information cannot be provided given this document:

  • No AI component: The document describes a "suture delivery canister which facilitates minimally invasive robotic surgery by transporting suture to the operative field and removing used needles after suturing." There is no mention of artificial intelligence, machine learning, image analysis, or any diagnostic capabilities.
  • Physical device, not a diagnostic algorithm: The device handles physical sutures and needles. The performance data listed (knot-pull tensile testing, diameter, needle attachment, biodegradation testing, pyrogen testing, physico-chemical analysis, stability evaluations) are all related to the physical properties and safety of the surgical sutures and the delivery system itself, not to the performance of a software algorithm.

Therefore, since the device is not an AI/ML medical device, the following points from your request are not applicable and cannot be found in the provided text:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance (The "performance data" mentioned refers to physical product testing, not AI performance metrics)
  2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
  4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
  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
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
  7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
  8. The sample size for the training set
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

In summary, this document describes a traditional medical device (suture delivery system) and does not provide any information relevant to the performance or validation of an AI/ML component.

Dear John Gillespie:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for

{1}------------------------------------------------

devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

§ 878.4493 Absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture.

(a)
Identification. An absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture (PGL suture) is an absorbable sterile, flexible strand as prepared and synthesized from homopolymers of glycolide and copolymers made from 90 percent glycolide and 10 percent l-lactide, and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. A PGL suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. “Monograph for Absorbable Surgical Sutures;” it may be monofilament or multifilament (braided) in form; it may be uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA-approved color additive. Also, the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.
