Intended Use

The Disposable Endoscopic Cutter Stapler and Cartridge has applications in abdominal, gynecologic, pediatric and thoracic surgery for resection and creation of anastomosis. The Disposable Endoscopic Cutter Stapler and Cartridge is not to be used in the transection and resection of solid organs.

Device Description

Disposable Endoscopic Cutter Stapler and Cartridge place two, triple-staggered rows of progressive titanium staples and simultaneously divides the tissue from central line. The devices are available in 30mm, 45mm and 60mm three lengths with cartridge in 2.0/2.5/3.0, 3.0/3.5/4.0, 4.0/4.5/5.0 three progressive staple sizes to accommodate carious tissue thickness. The device may be reloaded and fired up to 12 times in a single procedure.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Disposable Endoscopic Cutter Stapler and Cartridge), not a report for an AI/ML-based medical device. Therefore, the information required to answer your specific questions about acceptance criteria, study details, expert involvement, and ground truth for an AI device is NOT present in this document.

The document demonstrates the substantial equivalence of the new stapler to a predicate device through:

  • Non-clinical tests: These include biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993 series, USP standards), sterilization validation (ISO 11135), and bench tests on porcine tissue (Pressure Resistance, Closed Staple Height, Staple Formation, Force Required to Fire Stapler).
  • Comparison table (Table 1): This table directly compares various characteristics of the proposed device and the predicate device, often stating "SE" (Substantially Equivalent) if they are sufficiently similar or providing a qualitative "SE Analysis" if there are differences.

There is no mention of:

  • AI/ML algorithms.
  • Data sets for training or testing AI models.
  • Human readers, expert consensus, or specific ground truth methodologies for evaluating an AI system.
  • MRMC studies or effect sizes for human improvement with AI assistance.

Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table and answer the specific questions related to AI/ML device validation based on this document.

The document specifically states under "7. Clinical Test Conclusion": "No clinical study is included in this submission." This further confirms the absence of the type of information you are seeking regarding device performance in a clinical or reader study context for an AI device.

Dear Diana Hong:

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

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

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 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 (OS) 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).

Table 1 Comparison for the Disposable Endoscopic Cutter Stapler and Cartridge

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

SE Analysis 1 Indication for Use

The indication for use of proposed device is different from predicate device. The proposed device does not have the additional indication of transection of liver substance, hepatic vasculature, biliary structures, and pancreas. However, the indication for use of proposed device can be covered by the predicate device. Therefore, this difference is considered not to affect the substantially equivalency between the proposed and predicate devices concerning the safety and effectiveness.

SE Analysis 2 Configuration

The configuration for proposed device is different from predicate device. By the proposed device and predicate device's performance test reports (Firing Force, Closed Staple Height, Pressure Resistance, Staple Formation), it proves that this difference is considered not to affect the substantially equivalency between the proposed and predicate devices concerning the safety and effectiveness.

SE Analysis 3 Closed staple height

The closed staple height for proposed device is different from predicate device. By the proposed device and predicate device's performance test reports (Closed Staple Height), it proves that this difference is considered not to affect the substantially equivalency between the proposed and predicate devices concerning the safety and effectiveness.

SE Analysis 4 Staple Counts for Each Row

The staple counts for proposed device are different from predicate device. By the proposed device and

{8}------------------------------------------------

predicate device's performance test reports (Firing Force, Closed Staple Height, Pressure Resistance, Staple Formation), it proves that this difference is considered not to affect the substantially equivalency between the proposed and predicate devices concerning the safety and effectiveness.

SE Analysis 5 Patient-contact material

The patient-contact material of proposed device is different from predicate device. However, the biocompatibility tests were performed on proposed device and the test result can meet the requirements of ISO 10993 series standards. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence on safety and effectiveness.

SE Analysis 6 Sterilization

The sterilization method for proposed device is different from predicate device. However, the sterilization parameter for proposed device was established per ISO ISO11135 to achieve the SAL of 106. Therefore, this difference is considered not to affect the substantially equivalency between the proposed and predicate devices concerning the safety and effectiveness.

9. Substantially Equivalent (SE) Conclusion

Based on the comparison and analysis above, the proposed device is determined to be Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate devices.
