Intended Use

The Tenex® 2nd Generation System is indicated for use in surgical procedures where fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration of both soft and hard (e.g.: bone) tissue are desirable, including General Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Laparoscopic Surgery, and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

The Tenex® 2nd Generation System is also indicated for use in the debridement of wounds, such as, but not limited to diabetic ulcers, in application, in which, in the physician's judgement would require the use of an ultrasonic aspirator with sharp debridement.

Device Description

The Tenex 2nd generation system is an ultrasonic surgical instrument that fragments, emulsifies and aspirates soft and hard tissue. It also provides sharp debridement of soft and hard tissue in wounds such as neuropathic diabetic ulcers. The Tenex 2nd generation system is intended for use in an office-based setting, clinical or hospital environment. The system consists of a Console, ultrasonic MicroTips, a Foot Switch and a number of accessories.

The Console includes a touch screen tablet with a graphical user interface, motors to drive diaphragm pumps in the MicroTip, ultrasonic driver electronics and Software. The Console generates the ultrasonic energy required to operate the MicroTips and manages irrigation fluids. The Console is non-sterile when used and does not require processing.

The MicroTips connect to the Console for electrical power and to facilitate the transfer of irrigation fluid from the saline bag to the surgical site, and then aspirate the emulsified tissue and fluid to a collection bag incorporated into single use, disposable the MicroTip assembly. Motors in the Console couple to the diaphragm pumps in the MicroTips to control the fluid flows. The MicroTips are constructed from various biocompatible polymers and metals. The MicroTip tubing is made of biomedical grade PVC and silicone.

The MicroTips are single use and sterile packaged. They are sterilized via gamma irradiation. The MicroTips are the ultrasonic surgical hand pieces that house the transducers, horns and needles with beveled tips.

The Foot Switch is used by the user to remotely control the Console. It connects to the back of the Console via an electrical cable. It provides on/off functionality for cutting, irrigation, and aspiration. The Foot Switch is IPX8 rated for protection against liquids.

The System includes additional components. a Packaging Hard Case is provided for shipping, handling. and storage of the Console, and a power cord is provided for connecting the Console to facility electrical power to operate the device. These items are non-sterile when used and do not require processing.

Associated accessories include: a USB Flash Drive for saving procedure information, USBC-HDMI cable for connecting to an external display, and a USB-Smartphone adaptor for connecting USB output to a smartphone.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Tenex® 2nd Generation System, an ultrasonic surgical instrument. It details the device's characteristics, intended use, and non-clinical performance testing. However, it does not include specific acceptance criteria or a study that directly proves the device meets those criteria in a format allowing a table of acceptance criteria vs. reported performance.

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Tenex Health TX System with the TXP MicroTip, K181367) through a comparison of technical characteristics and non-clinical performance testing against various standards.

Here's an attempt to extract and interpret the requested information based on the provided text, while noting what is not present:

Missing Information in the Provided Text:

  • Specific Quantitative Acceptance Criteria: The document describes types of tests performed (e.g., Aspiration, Irrigation, MicroTip strength) and mentions the system "met requirements" or "met the standards," but it does not specify the quantitative performance metrics (e.g., "Aspiration volume must be >X cc/min" or "MicroTip strength must withstand Y force").
  • Reported Device Performance against specific criteria: Without specific acceptance criteria, corresponding reported device performance against those criteria cannot be tabulated directly.
  • Detailed Study Protocol for Performance Evaluation: The text lists various non-clinical performance tests but does not provide details of a single, comprehensive study with a defined sample size, ground truth, or expert involvement to "prove" the device meets acceptance criteria in a comparative sense.
  • Sample size for test set with data provenance: While "simulated use testing in bovine tissue" and "simulated use testing in cadaver" are mentioned, the specific sample sizes for these tests are not provided. Data provenance is implied to be laboratory/simulated.
  • Number of experts and qualifications for ground truth: Not mentioned, as the focus is on engineering and standard compliance rather than clinical interpretation.
  • Adjudication method: Not applicable as no expert review process for ground truth is described.
  • Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study: Not mentioned and not likely relevant for a device of this type, which is a surgical instrument rather than an AI-powered diagnostic tool.
  • Standalone (algorithm-only) performance: Not mentioned. The device's software is for control and interface, not for standalone diagnostic or analytical performance.
  • Type of ground truth used: For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" would be the known physical properties and performance characteristics of the materials and systems under test, not clinical outcomes or pathology.
  • Sample size for training set: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device in the context of a training set for a diagnostic algorithm.
  • How ground truth for training set was established: Not applicable.

Extracted Information (with caveats):

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

As noted, explicit quantitative acceptance criteria are not provided.
