These instruments are manually operated surgical devices intended for making incisions into the patient's body to establish pneumoperitoneum and allow insertion of endoscopes and endoscopic accessories during general endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures.

The Karl Storz MANHES Pneumotrocars are manually operated surgical devices. The body contact portions of the KSEA Plastic Trocars are composed of surgical grade stainless steel which is commonly used in medical devices for a wide range of applications and has a long history of biocompatibility for human use.

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Karl Storz MANHES Pneumotrocar, a manually operated surgical device used to establish pneumoperitoneum and allow insertion of endoscopes and accessories during laparoscopic procedures.

Based on the provided text, the device's acceptance criteria and the study proving it meets them are not explicitly detailed in the format requested. This document is a regulatory submission for substantial equivalence, not a detailed clinical study report with specific performance metrics and acceptance criteria.

However, I can extract the information that is present and indicate where information is not provided.

Here's a breakdown based on the categories you requested:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance

• Sample Size: Not specified.
• Data Provenance: Not specified. This document is a 510(k) summary, which generally focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting detailed clinical study data with test sets.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

• Number of Experts: Not specified.
• Qualifications of Experts: Not specified.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Adjudication Method: Not specified.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

• MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned or described. This type of study is typically for AI-assisted diagnostic devices, which this surgical instrument is not.

6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only)

• Standalone Performance Study: Not applicable. This device is a manually operated surgical instrument, not an algorithm.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

• Type of Ground Truth: Not specified. The basis for safety and effectiveness is substantial equivalence to predicate devices, implying that the established safety and efficacy of the predicate devices serve as the "ground truth" for comparison.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

• Sample Size: Not applicable. This device is a physical surgical instrument, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

• Ground Truth Establishment: Not applicable. As above, this is not an algorithm requiring a training set.

Summary of Document Focus:

This 510(k) submission primarily focuses on establishing "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device. This means the manufacturer argued that their new device (Karl Storz MANHES Pneumotrocar) is as safe and effective as a device already legally marketed, based on similar features, intended use, and materials. The document doesn't provide details on specific performance acceptance criteria or detailed study results because the regulatory pathway chosen (510(k)) emphasizes comparison to existing devices rather than de novo clinical trials with novel performance measures.
