4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable for a physical device. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 refer to how discrepancies in expert ratings are resolved for diagnostic classifications, which is irrelevant for a sterilization tray.
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 is a physical medical device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
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
The "ground truth" for the performance of a sterilization tray involves objective, verifiable outcomes related to sterilization efficacy and device integrity:
- Sterilization Efficacy: Achieved by passing established sterilization cycle parameters (temperature, pressure, time, vacuum dry time) and demonstrated sterility through biological indicators (killing of spore-forming bacteria), chemical indicators (color change), and physical monitoring of the autoclave cycle.
- Material Compatibility: Demonstrated by conformity to ISO 10993-1.
- Durability/Reusability: Demonstrated by the tray's physical integrity and functional performance after repeated sterilization cycles.
- Containment/Organization: Demonstrated by the physical fit of the specified components within the tray.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable, as this is not an AI/machine learning device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as this is not an AI/machine learning device.
Summary of the Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria (from the 510(k) Summary):
The document states: "PERFORMANCE DATA: Testing has been performed and includes testing to the following standards: - ANSI/AAMI ST77:2006 - AAMI TIR30:2003 ."
These standards are critical for sterilization practices and medical device material compatibility, respectively:
- ANSI/AAMI ST77:2006 (or its current version): This standard typically covers "Containment devices for reusable medical device sterilization." It would detail requirements and test methods for instrument trays, wrappers, and containers regarding their ability to facilitate sterilization, prevent recontamination, and withstand reprocessing.
- AAMI TIR30:2003 (or its current version): This Technical Information Report (TIR) from AAMI focuses on "A compendium of processes, materials, test methods, and acceptance criteria for cleaning reusable medical devices." While the tray itself isn't a "reusable medical device" in the same sense as an instrument, this TIR often provides guidance on material compatibility and resistance to reprocessing methods, including sterilization.
Implicit Study Design:
The "study" would involve:
- Preparation: Loading the iDrive™ Ultra sterilization tray with the specified maximum configuration of instruments/components.
- Sterilization Cycles: Running the loaded tray through the specified prevacuum steam cycles (132°C for 4 minutes and 134°C for 3 minutes, both with a 20-minute vacuum dry time) in a validated autoclave, likely using an FDA-cleared sterilization wrap.
- Sterility Assurance: Monitoring the sterilization cycle parameters, and using biological and chemical indicators to confirm that sterility was achieved within the tray.
- Material Compatibility/Integrity: Visual and functional inspection of the tray and its components after multiple sterilization cycles to ensure no degradation, melting, warping, or other adverse effects that would compromise its function or the sterility of the contents.
- Biocompatibility: Evidence of compliance with ISO 10993-1, likely through material certificates and prior evaluations of the silicone and aluminum materials.
- Load Capacity Testing: Demonstrating that the tray can safely support 15 pounds without structural failure.
The "acceptance criteria" are implied by the successful completion of these tests in accordance with the cited standards and the stated operational parameters for the device. The conclusion of the 510(k) is that, based on this testing and comparison to predicate devices, the iDrive™ Ultra sterilization tray is substantially equivalent and safe and effective for its intended use.

The Endo GIA™ Reload has applications in abdominal, gynecologic, pediatric and thoracic surgery for resection, transection and creation of anastomosis. They may be used for transection and resection of liver substance, hepatic vasculature and biliary structures and for transection and resection of pancreas.
The subject device and the predicate device both are a linear or articulating reload that is attached to a stapler handle. The reload contains staples, a cutting blade, and an anvil which to form the staples. Once the reload is attached to the stapler handle, the trigger on the handle is manually squeezed once to close the anvil in order to clamp the tissue. Once the anvil is fully closed, it securely retains the tissue until it is opened. To fire either the subject or predicate device, a safety must be physically and intentionally disengaged after full clamp-up. Once the safety has been disengaged, the trigger can be squeezed additional times to fire the staples and advance the cutting blade. The number of firing squeezes will increase the cartridge length. The subject and predicate Endo GIA™ reloads are sterilized via ethylene oxide, have 45mm or 60mm staple cartridge lengths, 3.5mm or 4.8mms titanium staples, single use and disposable devices. The subject device contains two modifications compared to predicate, the addition suture slots and blunt blades within the anvil and cartridge of the reload. These two minor modifications are the only differences between the subject device and the predicate device. The addition of the suture slots and blunt blades are the result of refurbishment of components from a previously cleared device (K080898). The suture slots within the previously cleared device (K080898) secured suture on the anvil and cartridge to hold reinforcement material. The blunt blades would cut the suture in order to deploy the reinforcement material when the reload is fired. The subject device is refurbished by removing the sutures and tissue reinforcement material.

The Versaport™ V2 Bladeless Optical Trocar 11mm and 12mm with a transparent cannula is available in standard (100mm), short (70mm) and long (150mm) cannula lengths. The Versaport™ V2 Bladeless Optical Trocar with transparent cannula and obturator allows optical entry for visualization of tissue layers during insertion. The obturator housing contains a scope retention mechanism. The trocar housing contains internal seals to prevent loss of pneumoperitoneum when instruments are inserted into a port or withdrawn completely from a port. The 11mm and 12mm Versaport™ seal system accommodate instruments indicated as 5mm up to 11mm and 12mm respectively. These features are the same as the Versaport™ V2 Bladeless Optical Trocar (5mm) [K112349].
The proposed device (Versaport™ V2 Bladeless Optical Trocar, 11mm and 12mm) has similar design, lengths, and optical features as the predicate devices. The Versaport™ V2 Bladeless Optical Trocar, 11mm and 12mm, includes a transparent cannula, a bladeless obturator with a transparent optical window at the distal end, an obturator housing scope retention mechanism and external interlocking snaps. The scope retention mechanism is located within the obturator housing allowing for secured insertion and retention of an appropriately sized 0° laparoscope for visualization of tissue layers during insertion into the body cavity. There is a 3 way stopcock for insufflation and rapid desufflation. The external interlocking snaps secure the obturator to the cannula. The Versaport™ Bladeless V2 Optical trocar is equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of its intended use and fundamental technology.
The provided submission is a 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for a medical device (Versaport™ V2 Bladeless Optical Trocar System). It describes the device, its intended use, and states that in-vitro and in-vivo tests were performed to verify performance and substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

Unfortunately, "Section 11: Declarations of Conformity and Summary Reports" is not included in the provided text.
Based on the information given, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance or answer most of the specific questions about the study design, sample sizes, expert involvement, or ground truth.
Here's what can be extracted:
- Device Name: iDrive™ Ultra reusable manual adapter tool (accessory) and iDrive™ Ultra powered handle and Endo GIA™ adapter (system).
- Intended Use: The manual adapter tool is for operating an Endo GIA™ adapter manually, completing a firing, retracting the knife, opening jaws, and articulating a reload. It is not intended to initiate a reload firing or for patient contact.
- Safety: The manual adapter tool is comprised of materials that are in accordance with ISO 10993-1.
Regarding your specific points, based only on the provided text:
-
A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
- Cannot be provided. The document states "Verification and validation activities were performed" and "These evaluations demonstrate that... [the device] functions as intended," but it does not list specific measurable acceptance criteria or their corresponding performance results.
-
Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Cannot be provided. This information is not present in the document.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable / Cannot be provided. There is no mention of a test set with human-established ground truth in this type of mechanical device submission. The verification/validation would likely involve engineering tests, functional tests, and material biocompatibility tests.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable / Cannot be provided. This concept is generally relevant for AI/diagnostic devices where human interpretation is critical for ground truth, not for the functional testing of a mechanical surgical stapler.
-
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 document describes a mechanical surgical device and an accessory, not an AI or diagnostic imaging device. Therefore, MRMC studies and "human readers" improving with "AI assistance" are not relevant to this submission.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Cannot be explicitly determined from the provided text. For mechanical devices, "ground truth" would typically refer to established engineering specifications, mechanical tolerances, material properties, and functional requirements. For example, a stapler's ground truth might be "all staples fire successfully," "staple formation meets specifications," or "clamping force is within tolerance." The text only vaguely refers to "functions as intended."
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable / Cannot be provided. This device is not an AI/machine learning model, so there is no "training set" in that context.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable / Cannot be provided. As above, no training set for an AI model is involved.
In summary: The provided 510(k) summary focuses on device description, intended use, and substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It confirms that verification and validation activities were performed and demonstrated the device functions as intended, but it explicitly omits the details of those activities and their specific results, referring to an external "Section 11: Declarations of Conformity and Summary Reports" which is not included. This type of submission for a mechanical device typically does not involve the kinds of studies (e.g., MRMC, AI performance) that your detailed questions are tailored for.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for each test. The performance data refers to in-vitro and in-vivo testing. For in-vivo tests, the sample size would typically refer to the number of animals or human subjects, but this is not provided. For in-vitro tests, the sample size would be the number of units tested.
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. It mentions both in-vitro (laboratory) and in-vivo testing, but does not indicate if it was retrospective or prospective. Given the nature of a 510(k) submission for a physical device, these tests are typically prospective tests conducted specifically for the submission.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Not Applicable. This device is a physical surgical drape, not an AI or diagnostic device that relies on interpretation of data to establish ground truth with experts. The "tests" are about physical properties and usability, not diagnostic accuracy.
4. Adjudication method for the test set

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
- No. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not relevant to its evaluation.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. This is a physical surgical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used
- For physical/mechanical tests (in-vitro): Ground truth is established by objective measurements against industry standards (e.g., ASTM D3787, ASTM D412) or established engineering specifications for strength, tear resistance, etc.
- For usability/in-vivo tests: Ground truth for "Ease of Use," "Incision Retraction," "Tissue Trauma," etc., would be established through observation, subjective assessment by trained personnel (possibly surgeons or medical professionals simulating use), and potentially histological examination for tissue trauma. However, the specific methodology for establishing this "ground truth" (or assessment criteria) is not detailed.
- For biocompatibility: Ground truth is established by adherence to the ISO 10993-1:2009 standard, which involves specific biological evaluation tests to ensure the materials are safe for patient contact.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable. As there is no training set for an AI algorithm, this question is not relevant.

Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to your request:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria for functional performance (e.g., staple line integrity, leak rates, burst pressure). Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the claim of substantial equivalence to predicate devices and the successful clinical literature review.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices | "The Endo GIA™ Staplers, DST Series™ GIA™ Staplers and TECHNOLOGICAL DST Series™ TA™ Staplers are each identical to their predicate device." and "We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices..." |
Materials are in accordance with ISO Standard 10993-1 | "All components of the Endo GIA™ Staplers, DST Series™ MATERIALS: GIA™ Staplers and DST Series™ TA™ Staplers are comprised of materials, which are in accordance with ISO Standard 10993-1." |
Clinical application for transection and resection of pancreas is supported | "A clinical literature review was performed to demonstrate and PERFORMANCE DATA. support the clinical application of the Endo GIA™ Staplers, DST Series™ GIA™ Staplers and DST Series™ TA™ Staplers for transection and resection of pancreas." (The outcome of this review is implied to be sufficient for regulatory approval, as the device was deemed substantially equivalent.) |
Intended Use includes transection/resection of pancreas | The "Indications For Use" section details the specific application of the devices for "transection and resection of pancreas" for all listed stapler types (Endo GIA™ Staplers, DST Series™ GIA™ Staplers, and DST Series™ TA™ Staplers). This is the key performance claim being supported by the literature review and forms the basis of the substantial equivalence for the expanded indication. No specific numerical performance metrics are provided for pancreatic resection, but rather the general applicability is deemed supported. |
Study Details
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
The document mentions a "clinical literature review." This implies that the 'test set' was not a de novo, prospectively collected dataset for this specific submission, but rather existing published clinical data. The exact sample size (number of patients or cases) of the literature review is not specified. The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is also not specified, as it would depend on the individual studies included in the review. -
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
The document does not describe a process for establishing ground truth with a specific number of experts for a 'test set' in the traditional sense of an AI/diagnostic device study. The "clinical literature review" relies on the reported outcomes and findings of published studies, where the "ground truth" would have been established by the inherent diagnostic and surgical practices of the medical professionals involved in those studies (e.g., surgeons performing the procedures, pathologists examining resected tissue, follow-up clinicians assessing outcomes). The qualifications of these implicit "experts" from the literature are not detailed but would generally be medical professionals specializing in surgery (abdominal, gynecologic, pediatric, thoracic) and pathology. -
Adjudication method for the test set:
Not applicable in this context. The clinical literature review does not describe an adjudication process for a specific test set. The review synthesizes findings from multiple studies, and any form of "adjudication" would be at the discretion of the original study authors or implicitly through the peer-review process of the medical literature itself. -
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 is a surgical device, not a diagnostic AI device. The submission does not describe an MRMC study or any AI assistance. The clinical literature review supports the device's intended use, not the performance of human readers with or without AI. -
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This is a physical surgical stapling device, not a software algorithm. -
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
For the clinical literature review, the "ground truth" would have been derived from the outcomes data (e.g., successful transection, anastomosis integrity, post-operative complications, patient survival) and potentially pathology results from the surgical procedures described in the reviewed literature. It would be based on the established clinical practices and follow-up prevalent in those studies. -
The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. This is a medical device, and the "clinical literature review" is not a "training set" in the context of machine learning. The device design and manufacturing process would involve extensive engineering testing and simulations, but the literature review serves to expand the intended use based on existing clinical evidence, not to train an algorithm. -
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable, as there is no training set in the AI sense for this device submission.
