Device Description

The Karl Storz No Endoflator is a gas insufflator designed to deliver NoO gas to the abdominal cavity to facilitate the use of endoscope and accessories.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Karl Storz N2O Endoflator, a gas insufflator for diagnostic laparoscopic and laparoscopic sterilization procedures. This type of device does not involve AI or algorithms, and therefore, most of the requested information, such as acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test and training sets, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, multi-reader multi-case studies, and standalone algorithm performance, is not applicable.

Here's the relevant information based on the provided text:

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

The document does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed performance results in the format requested. The approval is based on "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices. The implicit acceptance criterion is that the device performs similarly to legally marketed predicate devices without raising new issues of safety and effectiveness.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

Not applicable. This is a medical device (gas insufflator), not an AI/algorithm-based diagnostic tool. The submission focuses on device design and comparison to predicate devices, not clinical study data in the context of an algorithm's performance.

3. 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. Ground truth establishment by experts is relevant for diagnostic algorithms.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. Adjudication methods are relevant for resolving discrepancies in expert interpretations for algorithmic ground truth.

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. This device is a gas insufflator, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

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

Not applicable. This device does not involve an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

Not applicable. For this device, the "ground truth" would be its ability to perform its intended function (delivering N2O gas to the abdominal cavity) safely and effectively, which is assessed through engineering principles, bench testing, and comparison to predicate devices rather than a diagnostic 'ground truth'.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device does not use a training set as it's not an AI/ML algorithm.

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

Not applicable. This device does not have a training set or associated ground truth in the context of an algorithm.

Summary based on the provided text:

The Karl Storz N2O Endoflator received 510(k) clearance by demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. The claim is that "The minor differences between the Karl Storz N2O Endoflator and the predicate devices raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness, as these differences have no effect on the performance, function or intended use of these devices." This implies that the device meets existing safety and effectiveness standards, as demonstrated by the predicate devices, and that its performance is comparable. No specific performance metrics or clinical study data (in the context of an AI device) are presented in this summary document.

Device Identification:Common Name:Gas Insufflator

Trade Name: (optional) Karl Storz N2O Endoflator

The Karl Storz N2O Endoflator is designed for diagnostic laparoscopic and Indication: laparoscopic sterilization procedures.

Device Description: The Karl Storz No Endoflator is a gas insufflator designed to deliver NoO gas to the abdominal cavity to facilitate the use of endoscope and accessories.

Substantial Equivalence: The Karl Storz N2O Endoflator is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices since the basic features and intended uses are similar. The minor differences between the Karl Storz N2O Endofiator and the predicate devices raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness, as these differences have no effect on the performance, function or intended use of these devices.

KSEA N20 Endoflator (Laparoscopic Insufflator) Dated: January 13, 1998 Received: January 15, 1998 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR 884.1730/Procode: 85 HIF

Dear Mr. Kennan:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
