The Broncus™ Coagulation Electrode System is intended for coagulation or hemostasis in the tracheobronchial tree.
The Broncus Coagulation Electrode System consists of a catheter, a RF generator, and a commercially available patient return electrode. The RF generator produces RF power in a monopolar mode. The catheter delivers RF energy to the desired target site and relays temperature and other feedback to the RF generator. The patient return electrode is used to complete the return path for the electrical current.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Broncus™ Coagulation Electrode System, dated January 17, 2000. It describes the device, its intended use, and its comparison to predicate devices, but it does not contain the detailed information necessary to fully answer all aspects of your request regarding acceptance criteria and the comprehensive study that proves the device meets those criteria.
Specifically, this document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on intended use and non-clinical performance and biocompatibility testing. It lacks the specifics of clinical study design, sample sizes for training or test sets, expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, or specific performance metrics that would be expected for a detailed AI/ML device submission.
Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be answered from the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Functional testing | Passed |
| Electrical testing | Passed |
| Biocompatibility | Proven biocompatibility |
- Note: The document states that the "Coagulation Electrode System has undergone and passed functional and electrical testing designed to assess the performance of the catheter and the RF generator" and "The materials used in the Coagulation Electrode have proven biocompatibility." However, it does not specify the quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., specific voltage ranges, tissue temperature limits, or mechanical strength thresholds) for these tests, nor does it provide detailed numerical results beyond "passed."
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not Available: The document does not mention any clinical test sets, human subject data, or data provenance. The testing described is non-clinical (functional, electrical, and biocompatibility).
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/Available: As no clinical test set or human subject data is mentioned, there is no discussion of experts establishing ground truth for such data.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not Applicable/Available: No clinical test set is discussed.
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 medical instrument (coagulation electrode system), not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, an MRMC study related to human reader performance with or without AI assistance is not relevant to this submission.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable: This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Not Applicable/Available: For the non-clinical tests described, the "ground truth" would be engineering specifications and standards for functional and electrical performance, and established biocompatibility standards for materials. These are not explicitly detailed in the summary.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable/Available: This is a hardware device, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable/Available: No training set is relevant for this device.

Dear Mr. D'Angelo:
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 legally marketed predicate 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 requirements, 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.
