Device Description

ConMED QUAD™ Bipolar Laparoscopic Coagulating and Cutting Instrument

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device (ConMed QUAD Bipolar Laparoscopic Coagulating And Cutting Instrument). This document primarily focuses on regulatory approval and does not contain the detailed technical or clinical study information required to answer your specific questions about acceptance criteria, device performance, study design, or ground truth establishment.

Specifically, the document does not include:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  2. Information on sample sizes, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, or ground truth types for a test set.
  3. Details about a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or human reader improvement with AI.
  4. Information about standalone algorithm performance.
  5. Details on training set size or how ground truth for the training set was established.

This document confirms substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on the indications for use, but it does not provide the technical studies or clinical trial results that would typically contain the information you are requesting.

Dear Mr. Duesler:

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.
