Intended Use

The EndoWrist Tenaculum Forceps instrument is used with the Intuitive Surgical IS2000 da Vinci S Surgical System and the Intuitive Surgical IS3000 da Vinci Si Surgical System for grasping and manipulation of tissue.

The Endoscopic Instrument Control System is intended to assist in the accurate control of Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic Instruments including rigid endoscopes, blunt and sharp endoscopic dissectors, scissors, scalpels, ultrasonic shears, forceps/pick-ups, needle holders, endoscopic retractors, stabilizers, electrocautery and accessories for endoscopic manipulation of tissue, including grasping, cutting, blunt and sharp dissection, approximation, ligation, electrocautery, suturing, and delivery and placement of microwave and cryogenic ablation probes and accessories, during urologic surgical procedures, general laparoscopic surgical procedures, gynecologic laparoscopic surgical procedures, transoral otolaryngology surgical procedures restricted to benign and malignant tumors classified as T1 and T2, and for benign base of tongue resection procedures, general thoracoscopic surgical procedures, and thoracoscopically assisted cardiotomy procedures. The system can also be employed with adjunctive mediastinotomy to perform coronary anastomosis during cardiac revascularization. The system is indicated for adult and pediatric use (except for transoral otolaryngology surgical procedures). It is intended to be used by trained physicians in an operating room environment in accordance with the representative, specific procedures set forth in the Professional Instructions for Use.

Device Description

The subject device is a remanufactured 420207 Tenaculum Forceps with a grasping end effector to be used with the Intuitive Surgical da Vinci Endoscopic Instrument Control System (IS 2000 / IS 3000) for grasping and manipulating tissue during and endoscopic procedure. The mechanism of action and principles of operation for the subject device are identical to the predicate device, as there has been no modification to the mechanical design, materials, or dimensions. There are no changes to the claims, intended use, clinical applications, patient population, or method of operation.

AI/ML Overview

While the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter (K250539) details the clearance of a remanufactured medical device (Remanufactured EndoWrist Tenaculum Forceps), it does not contain information about an AI/ML-driven device or its performance criteria and study results.

The document discusses the substantial equivalence of the remanufactured forceps to a predicate physical device based on identical mechanical design, materials, and intended use. The "non-clinical and/or clinical tests" section refers to:

  • Life testing: To verify performance and durability through additional uses.
  • Electrical safety evaluation: Per IEC 60601-1.
  • Biocompatibility testing: Per ISO 10993-1.
  • Reprocessing validation: Per OEM instructions.
  • Cybersecurity assessment: Per FDA Guidance on Cybersecurity in Medical Devices.

These tests are standard for remanufactured hardware devices to ensure they meet the same safety and performance standards as the original. They are not related to the type of performance evaluation (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, reader studies) typically required for AI/ML-driven medical devices to prove their acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and study data for an AI/ML device from this specific document. The document pertains to a traditional physical medical device.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
