Intended Use

The AURORA Evacuator +Coag is a powered instrument with a handpiece intended for removal of soft tissue and fluids, and coagulation of tissue under direct visualization may include laparoscopic, pelviscopic, pelviscopic, endoscopic, percutaneous, and open. Applications include those when access to the surgical site is limited, such as neurosurgical.

Device Description

The AURORA Evacuator +Coag device is provided sterile, for single use only. It is a disposable, handheld, battery powered instrument that combines the ability to remove fluids and soft tissue, apply bipolar energy for the coagulation of tissue, and apply irrigation directly to clear the surgical site during minimally invasive surgical procedures. It consists of a wand and handle with connection ports for a bipolar electrode cable, vacuum source (for aspiration) and irrigation line. At the distal tip of the wand, a side aspiration window with an internally rotating whisk is provided to break up and aspirate soft tissue and fluids. The battery and motor that powers the whisk is contained in the device handle. Bipolar electrodes are located at the distal tip of the wand and can be activated to coagulate tissue when connected to an electrosurgical generator. When desired, an irrigation line may be connected to the handle and saline can be delivered to clear the surgical field as a procedural aid. Bipolar electrosurgical generator/cables, vacuum source, and irrigation source are not provided with the device. Prior to use, the device is to be connected to electrosurgical generator, external vacuum source (i.e. operating room suction) and irrigation source (i.e. drip). A green power indicator light is located on the top portion of the handle to show that power is available to the device. A suction control vent for the user to control vacuum pressure and a button for activating the whisk are located conveniently on the handle.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA regarding the AURORA Evacuator +Coag device. It describes the device, its intended use, and a comparison to predicate devices, and a summary of non-clinical testing. However, it does not contain information related to software or AI/ML components. Therefore, I cannot provide an answer based on the prompt's request for acceptance criteria and studies related to a device's AI/ML performance.

The document lacks the following information which are critical to answer your request:

  • Acceptance criteria for AI/ML performance: The document details acceptance criteria for the physical device's performance (e.g., biocompatibility, electrical safety, sterilization, in-vitro verification, ex-vivo tissue studies), but not for any AI/ML components.
  • Study that proves the device meets acceptance criteria for AI/ML: No studies related to AI/ML performance are mentioned.
  • Sample size used for the test set and data provenance (AI/ML): Not applicable as no AI/ML component is discussed.
  • Number of experts used to establish ground truth (AI/ML): Not applicable.
  • Adjudication method (AI/ML): Not applicable.
  • Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study (AI/ML): Not applicable.
  • Standalone (algorithm only) performance study (AI/ML): Not applicable.
  • Type of ground truth used (AI/ML): Not applicable.
  • Sample size for the training set (AI/ML): Not applicable.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established (AI/ML): Not applicable.

Therefore, no table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI/ML component can be created from this document. The document focuses on regulatory approval for the physical medical device and its electrosurgical, aspiration, and irrigation functionalities.

Dear Naomi Gong:

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

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

801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for 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).
