Device Description

The Saneso Colonoscope 360-A is an endoscopic platform for diagnostic visualization and therapeutic access to the lower gastrointestinal tract (including the anus, rectum, sigmoid colon, colon and cecum) and Saneso Colonoscope 360-A is not indicated for ileoscopy procedures. The system enables physicians to view a high resolution wide field of view of up to 360°. The system consists of Saneso camera heads, colonoscope, video system, light source and other ancillary equipment. The Saneso Colonoscope 360-A is a full circular view video colonoscope and features multiple viewing options: 5 camera 360-degree raw images, 5 camera-stitched 360-degree images, and forward only view modes. The selection is made through the video interface.

The Saneso Colonoscope 360-A must be used in conjunction with the Saneso Processor-A. The Saneso Processor-A system serves as a control platform for the Saneso Colonoscope 360-A. The processor box consists of the electronics and mechanics required to operate the endoscope. It is responsible for image processing, transferring video signals from the colonoscope, pneumatic control of various external accessories that interface with the system. The accessories include the foot pedal, which is used to control the tissue wash water, the mouse, and the keyboard which are used for interfacing with the software and changing settings as needed. There are two monitors which can be connected, i.e. the master monitor and the slave monitor. The master monitor can be used for viewing and interfacing with controls on the image processor and the slave monitor is used only for viewing purposes.

The device is equipped with five cameras in order to provide a maximum 360° field of view (FOV) with high resolution video using external monitors connected through display ports. Each camera has LED light sources enabling the user to visualize in white light and other user selectable spectrum with Select Band Imaging or Dual Band Imaging modes (applicable only with SBI/DBI). The system is configured to transfer data to an external HL7 compliant electronic health record system. The system can be controlled using a mouse and keyboard.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details for the Saneso-A Series devices, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria & Reported Device Performance

The FDA clearance letter refers to "acceptance criteria" through various performance tests, but it doesn't explicitly list numerical thresholds that were accepted. Instead, it states that the devices "met all acceptance criteria" for the respective tests. The reported device performance is generally described in terms of equivalence to predicate devices and successful completion of procedures.

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Test / CharacteristicReported Device Performance
Safety & EffectivenessGeneral Performance"Performs as intended" and "safe and effective as the predicate device"
Electrical Safety & EMCIEC 60601-1-2, ANSI AAMI ES60601-1Met all acceptance criteria in accordance with these standards.
BiocompatibilityCytotoxicity, Sensitization, IrritationBiocompatible. Testing performed on Saneso Endoscope 360-A (same components/manufacturing as Saneso Single Camera Endoscope-A). Reprocessing steps met worst-case scenario for assessment.
Reprocessing EffectivenessCleaning ValidationMet all acceptance criteria; demonstrated cleaning process does not impact functionality.
High Level Disinfection ReportMet all acceptance criteria; demonstrated high-level disinfection does not impact functionality.
Performance (Bench)Design Verification & Validation, Performance Test RequirementsMet all design verification & validation, performance test requirements.
Software PerformanceSoftware Verification and Validation TestingConducted and documented as recommended by FDA guidance; software considered 'moderate' level of concern.
Clinical Performance (Gastroscope)Primary Outcome: Successful intubation of the third portion of the duodenum100% successful procedure rate (achieved with both Saneso and Olympus gastroscopes).
Secondary Outcome: Qualitative rating by endoscopistsSaneso gastroscope rated superior to Olympus gastroscope in terms of field of view. Rated substantially equivalent in other visualization and mechanical characteristics.
Secondary Outcome: Mucosal injuryNo complications or evidence of mucosal injury reported/observed.

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

  • Sample Size: 22 subjects
  • Data Provenance: Prospective, multi-center clinical study. The document does not specify the country of origin for the sites.

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

The text mentions "endoscopists who performed the procedure" but does not specify the exact number of experts or their specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience). They were responsible for qualitative ratings and assessing mucosal injury.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe a formal adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). The "qualitative rating by the endoscopists" suggests individual assessments, and it doesn't mention a process for resolving discrepancies if multiple endoscopists were evaluating the same case.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size

While a comparative study was done using the Saneso gastroscope and a traditional gastroscope (Olympus GIF-H180), it was not a traditional MRMC study with AI assistance. It was a comparison of two different endoscopy devices.

  • Comparison: Saneso gastroscope vs. traditional gastroscope (Olympus GIF-H180).
  • Effect Size (Human Readers with/without AI assistance): Not applicable, as this study compared devices, not the effect of AI assistance on human readers. The Saneso device itself does not appear to incorporate AI for assisted reading, but rather offers a wider field of view.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

Not Applicable. The described device is an endoscopic visualization system, not an AI algorithm for standalone image interpretation. The "software" mentioned is for control and image processing, not for AI analysis.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Clinical Ground Truth: For the clinical study, the primary outcome of "successful intubation of the third portion of the duodenum" served as a procedural success ground truth. This would have been determined by the performing endoscopist.
  • Expert Opinion: Qualitative ratings by endoscopists on aspects like field of view and mucosal injury assessment were also part of the evaluation, relying on expert observation and judgment.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not mention any training set size. This is consistent with the device being a visualization tool rather than an AI-driven diagnostic algorithm that typically requires a large training dataset.

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

Not Applicable. As no AI training set is mentioned for this device, a method for establishing its ground truth is also not described.
