Intended Use

The WONTECH Air Gap Fibers are indicated for use in all surgical specialties in which compatible laser systems with operational wavelengths between 980 - 2200 nanometers have received regulatory clearance. The Air Gap Fiber delivery devices are intended for use with any surgical laser configured with an SMA-905 connector.

Device Description

The WONTECH Air Gap Fibers are available in 3 sizes. These are 272, 365 and 550 microns and designated as hard clad silica material. These sizes refer to the core diameters of the silica. All fibers are Low OH (hydroxide), especially adapted to delivering wavelengths of laser that are highly absorbed by water. However, for those wavelengths in which water absorption is not a limiting factor, Low OH fiber optic cables may be used as well. The fiber assemblies are configured with standardized SMA-905 connectors, which are the most commonly found connectors in use today. These Air Gap fibers are packaged in sterile, single use, peel away pouches for direct use in operating theaters. The Air Gap fibers are indicated for soft and hard tissue contact and prepared with a polished, flat distal end. The Air Gap fibers is standardized at 3 meters. These Air Gap Fibers may be used with laser outputs from 1-120 watts. The Air Gap Fibers are intended for use in laser surgical procedures including open, laparoscopic ablation, coagulation, incision, and excision or vaporizing in any soft/hard-tissue application for which compatible lasers are applicable.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes specific details about WONTECH Air Gap Fibers in the context of an FDA 510(k) submission, primarily focusing on its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. However, it does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance details from a study, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, or MRMC studies for AI devices. The text explicitly states "No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed" and "There is no software available for this device."

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information for an AI-based device, as the provided document is for a physical medical device (laser fiber) and does not involve AI or related performance metrics that would typically come from a clinical or standalone study as described in your prompt.

The document focuses on non-clinical bench tests for sterilization, biocompatibility, and packaging, which are relevant to the physical characteristics and safety of the laser fiber itself, not its performance in an analytical or diagnostic task for which AI might be used.

I can, however, extract the non-clinical test summary information regarding product validation:

Non-Clinical Test Summary (from the provided document):

  • Sterilization: Bench tests demonstrated compliance with ISO 11737-2 2019, ISO 11737-1:2018, ASTM F1980-21, and ISO 11135:2014/Amd 1:2018.
  • Software Validation: "There is no software available for this device."
  • Biocompatibility: The Silica Core fiber, with limited patient contact (< 24 hours) against blood path, indirect tissue/bone/dentin, was found to be biocompatible.
  • Packaging: Validated according to:
    • ASTM F1929-15 for Packaging dye penetration test (Result: No Leak, Report No. 2023-GPR-060)
    • ASTM F88/F88M-15 for Packing sealing strength test (Result: Pass, Report No. 2023-GPR-059)
  • Performance Testing: Defined as "Accuracy and Stability" and "Bend Radius and tensile." No specific acceptance criteria or quantitative results are provided in the summary.

Dear Hyun Yoon:

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 (the 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 available 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.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

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 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
