Used as accessories in general laparoscopic diagnostic and surgical procedures for manipulating tissue (grasping, cutting, coagulating, dissecting and suturing).
The Allegiance Modular Endoscopy Laparoscopic Scissors, Grasping Forceps, Dissectors and Needle Holders are composed of a reusable handle and shaft assembly and a removable tip assembly. These instruments are designed and manufactured specifically for the purpose of manipulating soft tissue structures.
I am sorry, but based on the provided text, there is no detailed information about the acceptance criteria or a specific study proving the device meets those criteria.
The document is a 510(k) premarket notification for "Modular Endoscopy Laparoscopic Scissors, Grasping Forceps, Dissectors and Needle Holders." It states that:
- "All materials used in the composition of the Modular Endoscopy Laparoscopic Scissors, Grasping Forceps, Dissectors and Needle Holders were subjected to performance and physical tests to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and reliability of the device. All test results were acceptable." (Page 1, "Summary of Testing")
However, it does not provide:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample size used for the test set or data provenance.
- Number of experts, their qualifications, or adjudication methods for ground truth.
- Whether a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done.
- Whether a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was done.
- The type of ground truth used.
- Sample size for the training set.
- How ground truth for the training set was established.
This document serves as an FDA clearance letter and a summary of substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than a detailed technical report of device performance testing.

Dear Ms. Sharpe-Gregg:
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.

§ 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)
