AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Creo Medical Speedboat Flush SB1 Instrument. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing a detailed study of its performance against specific acceptance criteria in a clinical setting with human subjects.

Therefore, the requested information, particularly regarding specific performance metrics with acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test sets (including data provenance, expert involvement, and adjudication methods), MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, and training set details, is not available in the provided text.

The document primarily covers bench testing to demonstrate that design changes (fluid injection, shaft diameter, distal tip dimensions, handle design) do not negatively impact device performance compared to the predicate device.

However, I can extract the general "acceptance criteria" through the lens of device validation and the types of performance testing mentioned:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Given the nature of the 510(k) summary, the acceptance criteria are implicitly met by "passing" the various bench tests and demonstrating substantial equivalence. Explicit numerical targets are not provided within this document.

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance (as per bench tests)
Fluid Injection FunctionalityAbility to produce a jet (constant stream) of saline from the device tip at minimum pressure, determined to be equivalent to the needle injection of the predicate.
Shaft Diameter/CompatibilityPerformances evaluated via bench tests and determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device, despite smaller diameter.
Distal Tip Dimensions/PerformanceLifetime cut and coagulation performance evaluated and demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Handle Design FunctionalityFunction of the handle unchanged; incorporates same connections (QMA, luer lock). Evaluated via bench tests and determined to be substantially equivalent.
Overall Design SpecificationsMeets all design specifications, risk mitigation requirements, and applicable medical device standard requirements.
Sterilization Assurance Level (SAL)10⁻⁶ (as per ISO 11135:2014 and AAMI TIR28:2016).
Shelf-life1 year (12 months).
BiocompatibilityMeets all required biological endpoints (Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation, Pyrogenicity, Acute systemic toxicity, Hemocompatibility) as per ISO 10993-1.
Electrical Safety, Microwave Safety, EMCComplies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2, IEC 60601-2-6 (safety) and IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC).
Software Verification & ValidationConducted and documented as per FDA guidance; "major" level of concern addressed.
Lifetime Cut & CoagulationPassed acceptance criteria (implicitly, by demonstrating substantial equivalence).
Connection Latch & RetentionPassed acceptance criteria.
Minimum Bend RadiusPassed acceptance criteria.
Connector RotationPassed acceptance criteria.
Device RotationPassed acceptance criteria.
Device & Injection Fluid TemperaturePassed acceptance criteria.
Endoscope Insertion & WithdrawalsPassed acceptance criteria.
Vector Network Analysis (VNA)Passed acceptance criteria.
Hot Tissue DamagePassed acceptance criteria.
Cutting Speed & Thermal MarginPassed acceptance criteria.
Distal Tip Shear ForcePassed acceptance criteria.
Components & Sub-assemblies StrengthPassed acceptance criteria.

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

Not specified in the document. The document describes various bench tests (e.g., Lifetime Cut & coagulation, Fluid injection, Hot tissue damage) but does not provide details on the number of samples tested for each or the specific "data provenance" as one would expect for clinical data. These are likely performed in a lab setting rather than with human or animal data for this type of submission.

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

Not applicable/Not specified. For bench testing of physical device characteristics, human expert "ground truth" setting in the context of interpretation (like radiology) is not relevant. The "ground truth" is typically defined by engineering specifications, physical measurements, and performance benchmarks.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable/Not specified. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used for clinical studies involving human interpretation or subjective assessments. This document describes bench testing, where outcomes are typically objective measurements against engineering specifications.

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

Not applicable. This device is an electrosurgical instrument, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance is irrelevant and was not conducted.

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

Not applicable. This is a physical electrosurgical device; it does not have a standalone "algorithm-only" performance that would be evaluated in this manner. Software verification and validation were conducted for the generator's control software, which is part of the integrated system.

7. The type of ground truth used

For the bench tests, the "ground truth" would be engineering specifications, physical and electrical standards, and predetermined performance benchmarks established during device design and validated against the predicate device. For biocompatibility, the ground truth is established by the relevant ISO standards and FDA guidance.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This document describes a medical device, not an AI model requiring a training set.

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

Not applicable. As above, this is not an AI model. For the software verification and validation, the "ground truth" would be the software requirements specifications and expected functional behavior.

TECHNOLOGICAL AND PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

The Electrosurgical Generator comprises two distinct energy sources for the independent generation of bipolar radiofrequency (RF) current at 400 kHz and microwave current at 5.8 GHz.

Both energy sources are delivered through the same output coaxial connector. These generator outputs are controlled in terms of voltage, power, current, duty cycle, and duration by means of widely used and long-established design and engineering techniques. Via these controls and system design, only one energy source can be delivered to the output coaxial connector at any one time.

Speedboat SB1 instrument is 2.3 m long and used through the working channel of a compatible endoscope. The distal tip comprises:

  • . a gold-metallized ceramic bipolar electrode assembly (Antenna) for delivery of cutting and coagulation energies;
  • . a stainless-steel rounded contour component (Hull) mounted to the Antenna;
  • . a fluid lumen for delivery and injection of fluids.

The proximal handle of Speedboat SB1 incorporates a luer-lock port for connection of a user-supplied syringe containing injection solution and a coaxial connector for connection to the Interface Cable.

The Interface Cable has push-fit latching connectors on each end designed to deliver energy at both RF and microwave frequencies.

The subject and predicate devices use the same electrosurgical generator, footswitch, and interface cable. They are composed of the same technological components with the same principles of operation which are:

  • . Cutting of mucosa, sub-mucosa, muscle using bipolar RF energy,
  • . Thermal coagulation (cauterization) of mucosa and/or sub-mucosa, muscle, vascular and arterial structures using microwave energy,
  • . Injection of a fluid into the sub-mucosa using the fluid injection function located at the distal tip of the device.
