Device Description

Retraction, CWM-910T and APOLEX Tite are RF electrosurgical system. These are identical except for model designation. The RF electrosurgical system consists of an electrosurgical device (ESU), 3 types of detachable handpieces (mono-polar active electrode), a grounding plate (neutral electrode) and a foot switch. The hand piece consists of a hand grip and an electrode. There are 3types of mono-polar electrode depend on diameter and length. The electrosurgical device generates 480KHz RF current. RF output energy (Max. 50W) is delivered through a mono-polar active electrode and returned through the grounding plate (neutral electrode).

AI/ML Overview

The provided document, an FDA 510(k) K222709 submission summary, describes the design, testing, and comparison of the Retraction, CWM-910T, APOLEX Tite RF electrosurgical system to a predicate device. However, it does not contain the specific information required to complete a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance related to an AI/ML-driven medical device study.

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence for an electrosurgical device, primarily through bench testing, electrical safety, biocompatibility, and reprocessing validation. It's a traditional medical device submission, not one for an AI-enabled diagnostic or therapeutic device that would involve performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or reader improvement.

Therefore, I cannot create the requested table or answer the specific questions related to AI/ML study components (e.g., sample size for test set, ground truth experts, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set details) because this information is not present in the provided text.

The document does mention:

  • Device Type: RF Electrosurgical System (not AI/ML)
  • Purpose: Electrocoagulation and hemostasis in dermatological and general surgical procedures.
  • Bench Testing: Conducted for RF output power and a comparison test with the predicate device, including graphical display of output waveform and power output over a range of loads.
  • Animal Study: A "mini pig" thermal effect study was conducted for safety assessment, comparing the subject device and predicate device. Evaluated thermal imaging area analysis, maximum temperature, and time to reach basal temperature.
  • Software: Firmware verification and validation according to FDA guidance and IEC 62304. This is firmware, not an AI algorithm.
  • Electrical Safety & EMC: Tested against IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2, and IEC 60601-1-2.
  • Biocompatibility: Tested against ISO 10993 series.
  • Reprocessing: Validated according to FDA reprocessing guidance.

Without the context of an AI-driven device, the questions regarding acceptance criteria for AI performance, test set and training set details, ground truth establishment by experts, and MRMC studies are not applicable to the provided document.

10. Software

The firmware is intended to control the RF electrosurgical system. It is installed in a microprocessor of the device.

The firmware was verified and validated according to FDA Guidance "Content of Premarket Submission for Software Contained in Medical Devices" and IEC 62304: 2006 + A1:2015, Medical device software - Software life cycle processes.

11.Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic compatibility

Electrical hazard and high temperature hazard are included within the device. The risks are controlled by design, protection method and information according to the FDA recognized standards, IEC 60601-1:2005+A1:2012 (AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-1: 2005+A1: 2012) and IEC 60601-2-2:2017

Electromagnetic compatibility was tested and verified according to the FDA recognized standard, IEC 60601-1-2:2020

12.Performance Testing - Bench

The RF output power was tested and verified according to with the FDA recognized standard, IEC 60601- 2-2:2017.

Comparison Test with the predicate device was conducted about graphical display of the output waveform at the rated load, identifying the associated mode, amplitude, frequency, duty cycle, load used, and crest factor. This test also considered a graph displaying the power output at maximum and half-of-maximum intensity over the range of expected loads (100/200/500/1000/2000 Ω). These tests are according to FDA guidance "Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Electrosurgical Devices for General Surgery: Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff".

In addition, as part of comparison test, animal (mini pig) test was conducted to assess the safety assessment (thermal effect) between subject device and predicate device. The skin, liver, kidney, and femoral muscles dissected from 9 mini pigs were used in the thermal tissue spread experiments.

Thermal imaging area analysis, maximum temperature and time to reach basal temperature were evaluated. the subject device showed a tendency to decrease in maximum temperature by all set temperatures compared to the predicate device. And the subject device did not show any change in the time reaching basal temperature by all set temperatures compared to the predicate device. The

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

results of thermal imaging area analysis using the correction factor, considering that it is two - four folds larger than the predicate device, the thermal image area of the subject device showed a tendency to decrease in thermal image area compared to the predicate device.

13.Conclusion

The major consideration such as intended use and principle of operation is the same as the predicate device. Although there are some differences, the safety and performance test reports are supported to the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

In this regard, we conclude that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
