Intended Use

The VERSAJET III Hydrosurgery System cuts, ablates and foreign matter from wounds via pressurized saline. The system is intended for applications that in the physician's judgment, require sharp debridement:

  • wound debridement (acute and chronic wounds, burns),
  • soft tissue debridement and cleansing of surgical sites.
Device Description

The VERSAJET III Hydrosurgery System consists of a reusable console, foot pedal and single-use, sterile hand pieces.
The VERSAJET III Hydrosurgery System can be used to cut, ablate and remove tissue and foreign matter from wounds and to resect and remove material in a variety of surgical applications. This is a debridement system intended for wound and soft tissue debridement, and cleansing of the surgical site. This is achieved yia the delivery of a pressurized stream of sterile saline fluid acts to tangentially ablate the surface of the tissue and propel excised tissue and debris out of the wound. The debris and fluid are directed into the handpiece into a flexible tube, which carries the effluent to the drain or collection canister.
The pressure can be adjusted using either the foot switch or on the touchscreen front panel of the console. Pressure settings range from 1-10 in factory pre-set increments, with the pressure increasing with each higher setting number, depending on the needs of a particular application.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the VERSAJET III Hydrosurgery System. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a comprehensive clinical study with quantitative performance metrics for AI applications. The device described (a hydrosurgery system) is a physical medical device, not an AI or software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) that typically relies on algorithms and data for its function.

Therefore, many of the requested categories in your prompt related to AI/algorithm performance (e.g., sample size for test set, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable to this traditional medical device submission.

However, I can extract information related to the device's "performance" in the context of a 510(k) (which means demonstrating safety and effectiveness compared to a predicate) and non-clinical testing.

Here's a summary based on the provided text, addressing the applicable points and indicating when information is not present or relevant to this type of device:

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

  • Not Applicable. This is a physical device, and the testing described is non-clinical bench testing, electrical safety, EMC, and human factors. There is no "test set" of patient data in the context of an AI algorithm evaluation.

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

  • Not Applicable. As above, no patient data test set requiring expert ground truth for an algorithm. Human factors testing would involve user interaction, but this is different from establishing ground truth for diagnostic imaging.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • Not Applicable. No test set of patient data requiring adjudication.

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

  • No. This is not an AI-powered diagnostic device. No MRMC study was conducted.

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

  • No. This is a physical, manually operated medical device tool; it does not have an algorithm that performs a standalone function for diagnosis or intervention without human control.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • Not Applicable. Ground truth, in the context of AI, refers to the verified correct output for a given input. For this device, "ground truth" would relate to engineering specifications, safety standards, and functional performance benchmarks (e.g., a handpiece reliably delivers X pressure, a safety cutoff activates at Y point, components withstand Z cycles). The document does not detail specific "ground truth" methods beyond adherence to standards and demonstrating equivalence to predicate performance.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI model that requires a training set of data.

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

  • Not Applicable. As above, no training set for an AI model.

In summary, the provided document details a 510(k) submission for a conventional medical device (hydrosurgery system). The "acceptance criteria" and "study" refer to non-clinical engineering and performance testing aimed at demonstrating the device's safety, effectiveness, and substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than the performance metrics and ground truth methodologies typically associated with AI/SaMD products.

21 CFR 807.92 (a)(6): Comparison of Technological Characteristics between the Subject and Predicate Devices

The technological principle for debridement and cleansing of the surgical site for the VERSAJET III Hydrosurgery System is identical to the predicate device, the VERSAJET II Hydrosurgery System. Both the subject and predicate devices use a pressurized stream of sterile fluid to cut, ablate and remove tissue and foreign matter from wounds and to resect and remove material in a variety of surgical applications.

The subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:

  • Consists of two primary components: an electrically (mains) powered console that is reusable equipment, and single-use, sterile disposable handpieces with tubing and pump cartridge.
  • -Uses a pressurized stream of sterile fluid to cut, ablate and remove tissue
  • -The pressure settings can be adjusted from 1-10 at factory pre-set increments.

The indications for use are similar for the subject and predicate device, although the phrase "pulse lavage irrigation" is removed and the mechanism of action is clarified by the addition of "The VERSAJET III Hydrosurgery System cuts, ablates and removes tissue and foreign matter from wounds via pressurized saline".

There are no technological differences between the subject and predicate devices that raise new questions o safety or efficacy. Only minor modifications have been made to the device to improve reliability and enhance quality.
