Intended Use

The Ellusa Reusable Neutral Plate provides a safe return path for electrosurgical current and is designed for use with Ellusa Generators for minor surgical applications. The Reusable Neutral Plate is provided nonsterile and intended for use only in nonsterile environments.

Device Description

The Ellusa Reusable Neutral Plates will be provided as a flexible plate made of silicone rubber and will be supplied with a 10-foot cable and is non-sterile. There are no differences in the functionality of a reusable neutral plate as compared to the disposable neutral plate. They are both used to provide a safe return path for electrosurgical current.

AI/ML Overview

This submission is for an Ellusa Reusable Neutral Plate, which is an electrosurgical accessory. The provided document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study proving a device meets specific clinical performance acceptance criteria. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding clinical studies, ground truth, expert consensus, and multi-reader multi-case studies is not applicable to this document.

The acceptance criteria provided here are related to non-clinical testing and engineering standards for the device's safety and performance with respect to its function as an electrosurgical accessory.

Here's the breakdown of the information that can be extracted:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Acceptance Criteria (Standard / Test)Reported Device PerformanceComments
IEC 60601-2-2: 2017 - Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-2: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of high frequency surgical equipment and high frequency surgical accessories"Testing was conducted for the following standard and resulted in passing results."This blanket statement indicates all sub-elements of this standard were met. Specific sub-elements tested include:
- Cl. 201.8.7.3.101: Thermal effects of HF Leakage CurrentsPassing resultsEnsures the plate does not cause excessive heating due to leakage currents.
- Cl. 201.8.8.3.103: ACTIVE ACCESSORY HF dielectric strengthPassing resultsTests the insulation integrity under high-frequency voltage.
- Cl. 201.8.8.3.104: ACTIVE ACCESSORY mains frequency dielectric strengthPassing resultsTests the insulation integrity under mains frequency voltage.
- Cl. 201.15.101.2: NE cord attachmentPassing resultsEnsures the cord is securely attached.
- Cl. 201.15.101.4: NE cord insulationPassing resultsTests the insulation of the neutral electrode cord.
- Cl. 201.15.101.6: NE contact impedancePassing resultsMeasures the resistance of the contact between the plate and the patient/generator to ensure efficient current return.
Biocompatibility Requirements"All tests resulted in passing results."This blanket statement indicates all biocompatibility tests were met. Specific tests include:
- In-Vitro Cytotoxicity ISO 10993-5:2010Passing resultsAssesses potential for the device materials to be toxic to cells.
- Sensitization ISO 10993-10:2010Passing resultsAssesses potential for the device materials to cause allergic reactions.
- Irritation ISO 10993-10:2010Passing resultsAssesses potential for the device materials to cause skin irritation.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

This information is not provided in the document. The document describes non-clinical engineering and biocompatibility testing, which typically uses a specified number of device units or material samples for testing rather than a "test set" in the context of clinical data. The provenance of such testing data is usually from accredited testing laboratories, but specific details are absent.

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):

This information is not applicable as there was no clinical test set requiring expert ground truth establishment for this type of device (electrosurgical neutral plate). The "ground truth" for non-clinical testing is adherence to established engineering and biocompatibility standards.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

This information is not applicable as there was no clinical test set requiring adjudication in this context. The "adjudication" for non-clinical testing involves the interpretation of test results against predefined pass/fail criteria of the standards.

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:

This information is not applicable. This document is for an electrosurgical neutral plate, which is a hardware accessory, not an AI-enabled diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC study or AI assistance is irrelevant.

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

This information is not applicable. The device is an electrosurgical neutral plate, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

The "ground truth" for the non-clinical testing described is based on the pass/fail criteria defined within the referenced international standards (IEC 60601-2-2 and ISO 10993 series). These standards themselves are developed through expert consensus within their respective fields to ensure safety and performance.

8. The sample size for the training set:

This information is not applicable. As a hardware device, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The device design and manufacturing processes are likely informed by engineering principles and previous device experience, but not a dataset used for training an algorithm.

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

This information is not applicable for the reasons stated above.

Dear Ms. Lucas:

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
