Smith & Nephew Images Cystourethroscopes are indicated for use in the examination of the bladder, urethra and distal ureter, and, using additional accessories, to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Smith & Nephew Semi-rigid and Flexible Manual Instruments are indicated for use in the endoscopic examination of the bladder, urethra and distal ureters and to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
The Images Cystourethroscopes and accessories transfer light to the surgical site via glass fiber optics and allow visualization of the surgical site through a series of optical lenses and prisms. Sheathes and obturators are offered to allow access to the surgical site.
The provided documents are a 510(k) summary and clearance letter for the Smith & Nephew Images Cystourethroscope and accessories. This submission focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing a performance study with detailed acceptance criteria and testing results against those criteria.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, study design, and performance metrics are not available in these documents. The primary "acceptance criterion" in a 510(k) process like this is demonstrating substantial equivalence.
Here's an analysis based on the provided information, noting where data is absent:
-
Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
Acceptance Criterion (Implicit) Reported Device Performance Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device (Karl Storz Endoscopy Cystourethroscopes and accessories) in design, materials, and intended use. The Smith & Nephew, Inc. Images Cystourethroscopes and accessories are deemed "substantially equivalent in design, materials, and intended use" to the Karl Storz Endoscopy Cystourethroscopes and accessories. This determination implies that the Smith & Nephew device meets the safety and effectiveness standards of the predicate device and does not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns. No specific quantitative performance metrics are provided in these documents. No new safety or effectiveness concerns. The submission states the device "present no new safety or effectiveness concerns." This is a qualitative assessment made by the manufacturer and accepted by the FDA for substantial equivalence. No specific risk analysis or performance data demonstrating this is included in these documents. -
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Not applicable / Not provided. A formal performance study with a distinct "test set" as typically understood for AI/software devices is not described. The substantial equivalence determination relies on comparison to an existing predicate device rather than new clinical trials with quantifiable performance data.
-
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):
- Not applicable / Not provided. Ground truth establishment, in the context of a performance study, is not described in these documents as no such study is detailed.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable / Not provided. Adjudication methods are not relevant as no formal test set evaluation is outlined.
-
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:
- No. This is a hardware device (cystourethroscope) for direct visualization, not an AI or software-assisted device that would involve human "readers" or an "effect size" of improvement with AI.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No. This device is a manual medical instrument for direct human use, not an algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Not applicable / Not provided. As no formal performance study is detailed, no ground truth type is specified. The "ground truth" for a 510(k) in this context is essentially the established safety and efficacy profile of the predicate device.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable / Not provided. No training set is mentioned as this is not an AI/ML device.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable / Not provided. No training set or ground truth for it is relevant to this 510(k) submission.
Summary of what the document does provide:
- Device Name: Smith & Nephew Images Cystourethroscope and accessories
- Intended Use: Examination of the bladder, urethra, and distal ureter; and performing various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with additional accessories.
- Predicate Device: Karl Storz Endoscopy Cystourethroscopes and accessories.
- Basis for Clearance: Substantial equivalence to the predicate device in design, materials, and intended use, with no new safety or effectiveness concerns.
- Function: Transfers light to the surgical site via glass fiber optics and allows visualization through optical lenses and prisms. Sheaths and obturators provide access.
- Regulatory Class: II
- Product Codes: 78 FBO, 78 KOA
Conclusion: The provided 510(k) documents are for a traditional medical device demonstrating substantial equivalence, not a software or AI device requiring detailed performance studies against specific acceptance criteria using test and training sets with established ground truths. Therefore, most of the requested points are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission.

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)
