Ablation wands are powered by a radiofrequency generator or controller. The device variations include various diameters, lengths, or electrode configurations. The materials of construction are generally polycarbonate handles, stainless steel shafts, PET insulation, tungsten electrodes, alumina ceramic tips and PVC suction lines. The electrode design contributes to the performance differences across different model devices.
This document is a 510(k) summary for a reprocessed medical device, specifically "Reprocessed ArthroCare Ablation Wands." It does not contain information about an AI/ML-driven device or study that uses acceptance criteria in the typical sense of measuring algorithm performance against ground truth in a clinical or diagnostic context.
Instead, the "acceptance criteria" and "study" mentioned here refer to the validation of the reprocessing process to demonstrate that the reprocessed device is substantially equivalent to the original, new device. The "performance" being reported is related to the physical and functional integrity of the reprocessed wands.
Therefore, many of the requested fields are not applicable in this context (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, type of ground truth for AI, etc.) because this is not an AI/ML device.

Electrical Safety & EMC: IEC 60601-1-2 EMC Testing and IEC 60601-2-2 Electrical Safety Testing (high frequency equipment/accessories) are met. | Electrical safety and EMC tests confirmed compliance with relevant IEC standards. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample sizes for each type of benchtop performance test (e.g., how many wands were subjected to thermal effects testing, how many for bending, etc.). It generally refers to "the subject devices" and "predicate devices" being tested.
- Data Provenance: The data is from benchtop performance testing conducted by ReNovo, Inc. (the submitter), comparing their reprocessed devices against the predicate (OEM) devices. This is prospective testing for the 510(k) submission. No country of origin is explicitly stated for the "data," but the submitter is based in Bend, OR, USA.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, and "ground truth" in the diagnostic context is not relevant here. The "ground truth" for these tests are objective, measurable physical and chemical properties and functional performance characteristics, often against established industry standards. These are not established by human experts in a subjective manner.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
- Not Applicable. As this is not an AI/ML device, there's no diagnostic output requiring expert adjudication. Performance is measured against predefined, objective pass/fail criteria or equivalence to a predicate device.
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 not an AI/ML device. No human-in-the-loop studies or MRMC studies were performed.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device. There is no algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The "ground truth" here is the established physical, chemical, and functional performance characteristics of the original, new (predicate) medical device and compliance with relevant engineering and biocompatibility standards (e.g., ISO 10993, IEC 60601). The "ground truth" for cleaning effectively would be specific limits on residual protein/carbohydrates, for example. For functional performance, it would be the performance of the new device.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device. No training set was used.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device. No training set was used.

The materials of constructions are generally polycarbonate handles, stainless steel shafts, Polyester or Tygon insulation material, tungsten electrodes, alumina ceramic tips and PVC saline delivery/suction tubing lines
The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the device "Reprocessed ArthroCare ENT Coblator." This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices rather than proving a totally new device meets acceptance criteria through clinical studies. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, performance against those criteria, and the specifics of a study proving device performance (like sample size for test sets, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance) is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission.
The core of this submission is to show that the reprocessed device performs as safely and effectively as the original (OEM) device, with specific testing around the reprocessing procedure and material changes.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document doesn't provide a quantitative table of acceptance criteria with specific thresholds and device performance metrics in the way one would expect for a novel device's clinical trial. Instead, it outlines the types of performance tests conducted to demonstrate equivalence to the predicate devices. The acceptance criterion for these tests is that the reprocessed device performs equivalently to the OEM device.
Test Category | Specific Tests Conducted | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance (Implicit) |
---|---|---|---|
Cleaning | Residual Protein & Carbohydrates, Visual Inspection, Cleaning Performance Qualification | No significant residuals; visually clean. | Devices passed these tests, demonstrating effective cleaning. |
Functional | Thermal Effects Performance Testing, Probe Drop Performance Testing | Thermal performance equivalent to OEM; withstands drops without functional degradation. | Devices passed these tests, demonstrating equivalent functional performance. |
Sterilization & Packaging | EtO Sterilization Testing, EtO Residuals Testing, Simulated Shipment Testing | Sterilized effectively; EtO residuals within limits; packaging integrity maintained. | Devices passed these tests, demonstrating effective sterilization and packaging integrity. |
Product Stability | Shelf Life Testing (1-year Accelerated Aging) | Device maintains performance after aging. | Devices passed, indicating performance for 1 year. |
Biocompatibility | Cytotoxicity, Irritation, Acute Systemic, Material Mediated Pyrogenicity, Sensitization | Biocompatible (especially for new FEP insulation). | Devices passed all biocompatibility tests. |
Reprocessing/Cleaning Residuals | Detergent Residuals Testing | No significant detergent residuals. | Devices passed, demonstrating no significant detergent residuals. |
Electrical Safety & EMC | IEC 60601-1-2 EMC Testing, IEC 60601-2-2 Electrical Safety Testing | Meets relevant safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards. | Devices passed all electrical safety and EMC tests. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample sizes (number of units) used for each type of benchtop performance testing. It generally refers to "the subject devices" and "the reprocessed devices" in comparison to "an identical new OEM device," implying a comparative study design.
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the data. Given the submission is to the FDA (USA), it's highly probable the testing was conducted in the US or at a facility recognized by US standards. The testing described is prospective in nature, as it involves newly reprocessed devices undergoing specific tests.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not Applicable. This type of information (number and qualification of experts for ground truth) is relevant for clinical studies involving human interpretation (e.g., radiology AI). For a reprocessed electrosurgical device, "ground truth" is established by direct physical, chemical, and electrical measurements against established engineering and safety standards, or direct comparison to the OEM device. Experts involved would be engineers, chemists, and microbiologists in the respective testing fields, but their roles are not for "establishing ground truth" in the diagnostic sense.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not Applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in clinical studies where multiple human readers interpret medical images or data and a consensus is needed. In benchtop testing of a reprocessed medical device, the results are typically quantitative measurements or pass/fail criteria based on objective standards, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.
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. An MRMC study is relevant for diagnostic devices, particularly those involving AI or image interpretation by human readers. This device is an electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device, not a diagnostic imaging device. Its performance is assessed through benchtop and lab testing, not through human reader interpretation of images.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not Applicable. This device does not contain an algorithm or software. The document explicitly states under "Software Verification and Validation Testing": "Software Testing is not applicable, because the device does not contain software."
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For this device, the "ground truth" (or more accurately, the reference standard) is the performance of the new, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) device and adherence to established international and national standards for medical device safety and performance (e.g., IEC 60601 for electrical safety, biocompatibility standards, and internal specifications for functional performance like thermal effects). The goal is to demonstrate that the reprocessed device is "as good as" the original and meets all relevant safety requirements.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not Applicable. This refers to machine learning models. The Reprocessed ArthroCare ENT Coblator is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm, so there is no training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not Applicable. As there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm, this question is irrelevant to the device described.
In summary, the provided document is a 510(k) summary focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence of a reprocessed physical medical device to its predicate. The type of testing and "acceptance criteria" presented are geared towards proving that the reprocessing does not compromise the device's safety and effectiveness compared to the original, rather than establishing efficacy for a novel diagnostic or AI-driven device.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size for the test set used for performance testing (e.g., how many reprocessed shavers/burs of each type were tested). It only states that "side-by-side testing of the reprocessed devices to an identical new OEM device" was performed, and this testing was done "after three reprocessing cycles."
- Data Provenance: The data comes from benchtop performance testing conducted by ReNovo, Inc. (the submitter). The country of origin for the data is USA. The study is not retrospective or prospective in the clinical sense, as it is a benchtop comparison study, not a study involving patient data.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
- Ground Truth for Test Set: This is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary. The "ground truth" for these reprocessed medical devices is their performance equivalence to new OEM devices. There are no "experts" establishing a "ground truth" for patient-specific data or diagnostic interpretations. The assessment is based on quantifiable engineering and biological performance metrics compared against the predicate device.
4. Adjudication Method for Test Set
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable. The tests performed are objective, quantitative measurements (e.g., sharpness, bending properties, chemical residue levels, sterility). There is no subjective interpretation requiring an adjudication process.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic or interpretive AI systems involving human readers and clinical cases, not for the performance validation of reprocessed surgical instruments.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study
- Standalone Performance Study: No, a standalone performance study (algorithm only) was not done. This is not an AI/algorithm-driven device. The "device" here refers to the physical reprocessed surgical instruments.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Type of Ground Truth: The "ground truth" here is the performance of new, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) devices. The reprocessed devices are compared directly against these new OEM devices across various functional, cleaning, and material characteristics to establish substantial equivalence.
8. Sample Size for Training Set
- Training Set Sample Size: Not applicable. This document describes the validation of reprocessed physical medical devices, not an AI or machine learning model that would require a training set.
9. How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML model for these devices.
