Device Description

The da Vinci SP Surgical System is designed to enable complex surgery using a minimally-invasive approach. The system consists of three major subsystems: a Surgeon Console, a Vision Cart, and a Patient Cart.

At the Surgeon Console, the surgeon controls all movements and endoscope by using two hand controls and a set of foot pedals. The surgeon views the live endoscope image on a three-dimensional (3D) viewer, which provides a view of patient anatomy and instrumentation, along with icons and other user interface features.

The Vision Cart includes supporting electronic equipment, such as the endoscope light source, video and image processing, and the networking hardware. The Vision Cart also has a touchscreen to view the endoscope image and adjust system settings.

The Patient Cart is the operative component of the da Vinci SP Surgical System. It supports the positioning of the surgical port and manipulation of the surgical instruments and endoscope.

AI/ML Overview

This FDA 510(k) summary provides limited information regarding specific acceptance criteria and detailed study results for the da Vinci SP Surgical System. Most of the document focuses on regulatory approval based on "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, rather than detailed performance studies against specific acceptance criteria.

However, based on the provided text, we can extract the following:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document states: "The subject device met the same acceptance criteria as the predicate device." However, the specific acceptance criteria themselves are not listed in this document. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating that the new software feature (Custom Remote Center) did not negatively impact safety or effectiveness.

Therefore, we can only infer the type of performance evaluation rather than specific numerical criteria.

Acceptance Criteria Category (Inferred)Reported Device Performance
Safety and EffectivenessConfirmed no issues of safety or effectiveness with changes.
RisksConfirmed no additional unexpected risks were identified.
Software Verification and ValidationMet acceptance criteria (no specific details provided).
Human Factors EvaluationMet acceptance criteria (no specific details provided).
Life TestingMet acceptance criteria (no specific details provided).

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

The document does not provide details on the sample size for any test set or the data provenance. It mentions "software verification and validation testing, human factors evaluation, and life testing," which are typically internal tests, but provides no specifics on the subjects, cases, or origin of data.

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 available in the provided document. The type of testing described (software V&V, human factors, life testing) typically does not directly involve establishing a "ground truth" by medical experts in the same way an AI diagnostic device would. For human factors, experts in usability or surgeons might be involved, but their number and qualifications are not specified.

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

This information is not available in the provided document.

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

There is no indication that an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This device is a surgical system with a new software feature, not an AI diagnostic tool designed to assist human readers. The document focuses on the device's safety and effectiveness in performing surgical procedures, not on improving human interpretation of images.

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

This concept is not fully applicable to the da Vinci SP Surgical System in the context of typical standalone AI performance. The device is an instrument control system, meaning a human surgeon is always "in the loop" controlling it. The "Custom Remote Center" feature is a software enhancement to this instrument control.

However, the "software verification and validation testing" mentioned would include standalone testing of the algorithm (the Custom Remote Center feature) to ensure it functions as intended without operator intervention, but this is a technical verification, not a clinical standalone performance evaluation in the diagnostic sense.

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

The document does not explain the "ground truth" in clinical terms for the specific tests mentioned. For "software verification and validation," the ground truth would be the expected software output and system behavior according to design specifications. For "human factors evaluation," the ground truth relates to usability standards and user performance metrics. For "life testing," the ground truth is the device's durability and functional longevity. These are engineering and usability "ground truths," not clinical ones tied to patient pathology or outcomes.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable and therefore not available. The da Vinci SP Surgical System is not an AI/ML device in the sense that it learns from a "training set" of data to perform a diagnostic or prognostic task. The new feature is a software adjustment to instrument control, not a learned algorithm.

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

This information is not applicable as there is no mention or implication of a training set or a learned algorithm in the context of this device's approval.
