The Enable Endoscopic Bipolar Scissors is intended to cut tissue and control bleeding through coagulation during surgical procedures.
The ENABLE Endoscopic Bipolar Scissors are substantially equivalent to the CardioThoracic Systems. Symbiosis, Everest Medical and ENABLE Bipolar Scissors in that each consist of a handle which is connected to a pair of scissor blades with electrodes on each blade. All the devices utilize the same bipolar electrosurgical technology. i.e. radio frequency (RF) energy. 10 caurerize the blood vessels by heating proteins in the tissue to a temperature where the proteins congeal.
The ENABLE Endoscopic Bipolar Scissors contain both a negative and positive electrode on each blade. The function of the ENABLE and predicate devices is the same; current flows from a negatively charged pole through the tissue to a positively charged pole. The ENABLE, CardioThoracic. Symbiosis and Everest Bipolar Scissors are connected to a similar electrosurgical generator that supplies RF bipolar energy. The ENABLE. CardioThoracic and Everest Bipolar Scissors are all labeled for use with the Valleylab Force 2 Electrosurgical Generator or equivalent electrosurgical units. All four bipolar scissors listed in this notification are labeled for operation at a comparable range (15-35 watts). Labeling for the ENABLE Endoscopic Bipolar Scissors are provided with each product. As with other bipolar instruments. there is no need for a grounding pad for the return electrode, therefore. the current does not travel through the patient to the grounding pad as it does with monopolar instruments. Patient burns seen with monopolar devices due to electrical current passage are eliminated.
The ENABLE Endoscopic Bipolar Scissors and the listed predicate devices are of similar size with an overall length range of 33 to 48cm (13 to 19 inches) and a scissors blade length range of approximately 0.7 inches. The scissors shaft is designed to fit a standard 5mm cannula. The bipolar devices utilize similar materials of construction including stainless steel scissors blades. All of the materials utilized in the ENABLE Endoscopic Bipolar Scissors are standard medical device materials that are used in a variety of tissue contact medical devices.
The provided 510(k) summary for the ENABLE Endoscopic Bipolar Scissors focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria. This type of submission relies on the device being similar enough to already approved devices that it doesn't require new clinical efficacy studies.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, study design, and performance metrics are not present in the provided text.
Here's an analysis based on the available information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

There are no patient data sets or provenance mentioned.
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. This device is not an AI/diagnostic device that requires expert ground truth establishment for a test set.

Not applicable. There is no test set in the context of diagnostic performance.
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 surgical instrument, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or decision support system.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is a physical surgical device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable. The "ground truth" for this submission is based on the established safety and effectiveness of its predicate devices and compliance with recognized industry standards for design, manufacturing, and general safety.
