AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for electrosurgical instruments. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing a detailed study on acceptance criteria and performance of the new device.

Therefore, the input does not contain the information necessary to describe:

  • Acceptance criteria table and reported device performance.
  • Sample size used for the test set or data provenance.
  • Number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications.
  • Adjudication method for the test set.
  • Whether a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, or its effect size.
  • Whether a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was done.
  • Type of ground truth used.
  • Sample size for the training set.
  • How ground truth for the training set was established.

The document primarily states the device's intended use ("to remove tissue and control bleeding") and identifies predicate devices that it claims substantial equivalence to. It does not provide performance metrics, study designs, or data related to demonstrating the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the way a clinical or performance study report would.

Dear Mr. Sargent:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the devices are 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 Devices 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 devices, 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 devices are 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 devices 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 devices 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 devices as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your devices and thus, permits your devices to proceed to the market.
