Device Description

A description of the endoscopes' components is as follows: Optical Catheters, Optical Handle, Fiber Optic Cables, Adapters and Light Sources.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the "5 Star Medical Endoscope," which received market clearance in 1997. This document details the description of the device and its intended use, rather than a study proving performance against acceptance criteria. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study design, sample sizes, and ground truth establishment is not present in this type of regulatory submission.

However, I can extract the following relevant information based on the typical content of such documents and the provided text:

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

This information is not provided in the 510(k) summary. 510(k) submissions typically demonstrate "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria in a formal clinical study report contained within the summary.

Here's an illustrative table based on general expectations for an endoscope, but the values are hypothetical as they are not in the document:

Acceptance Criteria (Hypothetical)Reported Device Performance (Not in Document)
Image ResolutionDemonstrated clear visualization of anatomical structures
Illumination (Light Output)Sufficient illumination of the surgical field
Working Channel PatencyAccessories pass smoothly through the working channel
Deflection Range and ControlFull, smooth deflection as designed
BiocompatibilityIn compliance with ISO 10993 (implied by regulatory review)
Cleaning and SterilizationEffective sterilization without device degradation

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

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not mentioned. 510(k) summaries do not typically detail the sample size of a specific test set for performance evaluation in the way a clinical study report would. The "test set" in the context of a 510(k) is often the comparison to the predicate device's established performance, or bench testing, not a clinical trial with a defined patient sample.
  • Data Provenance: Not mentioned. Given the nature of a 510(k) for substantial equivalence, the "data" would likely refer to bench testing or possibly a review of existing literature on similar devices, rather than a specific clinical study with identified geographical origin.

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

  • Not applicable/Not mentioned. In a 510(k) for an endoscope, "ground truth" as established by experts for a test set typically refers to clinical accuracy studies. This document does not describe such a study. Device safety and efficacy are primarily established through technical specifications, bench testing, and comparison to a legally marketed predicate device.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not applicable/Not mentioned. No specific adjudication method is described as there is no mention of a clinical test set requiring expert consensus.

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. The device is a traditional endoscope, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. MRMC studies and AI assistance metrics are not relevant to this product.

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

  • Not applicable. The device is a traditional endoscope; there is no algorithm or AI component to test in a standalone manner.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • Not applicable/Not explicitly stated in the context of clinical performance. For an endoscope, "ground truth" for its intended use (direct visualization and diagnostic/therapeutic procedures) would be the actual pathology or clinical outcome confirmed by other means (e.g., biopsy, follow-up, surgical findings). The 510(k) relies on the known performance and safety profiles of the predicate device and the design specifications of the new device to demonstrate substantial equivalence, rather than needing to establish "ground truth" for a diagnostic accuracy claim from a novel algorithm.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable/Not mentioned. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device.

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

  • Not applicable. No training set exists.

Summary of available information from the document:

  • Device Name: 5 Star Medical Endoscope
  • Predicate Device: Saratoga Modular Miniature Endoscope System
  • Description: A system including rigid mini ureteroscopes, deflecting tip scopes of various lengths and diameters, an optical handle with magnifying optics, fiber optic cables, adapters, and light sources.
  • Intended Use/Indications For Use: Direct Visualization of B.I. - B.U. System (likely referring to Biliary, Intestinal, and Bladder, Ureteral systems based on the description of use in common bile duct, liver, pancreatic duct, urethra, bladder, ureters, kidney, and colon), using additional accessories to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
  • Regulatory Clearance: Received 510(k) clearance (K963354) on September 8, 1997, based on substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
  • Regulatory Class: Class II
  • Product Codes: 78 FGB, FGC, FAJ, FDA, FTK, GCF, FBN, FGA, FAM, FDT, KOG

§ 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.
