AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Dornier Medilas H/2 Laser) and does not contain the kind of study information (acceptance criteria, sample sizes, expert qualifications, ground truth, etc.) that you are asking for.

The 510(k) summary focuses on establishing "substantial equivalence" of the new device to a predicate device already on the market, rather than presenting a performance study with detailed acceptance criteria and study data. It primarily discusses:

  • Device Name, Submitter, and Contact Information: Basic identification details.
  • Classification Name and Predicate Devices: How the device is categorized and which existing device(s) it is compared to for regulatory purposes.
  • Intended Use and Indications for Use: What the device is designed to do and for which medical conditions/procedures. In this case, it's for cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue in various surgical specialties.
  • Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence: The core of a 510(k), where the manufacturer argues that their new device is similar enough to an already legally marketed device (the predicate) that it does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The key point here is that the only minor difference mentioned is the replacement of a contraindication with a precaution statement regarding kidney and bladder stone fragmentation.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from this document. To answer your questions, I would need a clinical study report or a pre-market approval (PMA) application summary, which typically include detailed performance data, acceptance criteria, and study methodologies.

The Dornier Medilas H/2 Laser is indicated for use in medicine and surgery in the following specialties: Urology, Pulmonology, Arthroscopy, Lithotripsy, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, ENT, and General Surgery.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

From a clinical perspective and comparing design specifications, the Dornier Medilas H/2 Laser and the predicate devices are substantially equivalent and have the same intended use. The minor difference between the two laser systems is the replacement of a contraindication with a precaution statement regarding its use in fragmentation of kidney and bladder stones. Based on the technological characteristics and overall performance of the devices, Dornier Surgical Products, Inc. believes that no significant differences exist between the Dornier Medilas H/2 and the predicate devices: the Dornier Medilas H (K983963).

Dornier Surgical Products, Inc believes the minor differences of the Dornier Medilas H/2 and its predicate laser devices should not raise any concerns regarding the overall safety or effectiveness.

Dear Ms. Wernecke:

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 (Special Controls) or class III (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 requirement, 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.
