    AI/ML Overview

    This 510(k) submission (K130489) is for a design and labeling change to an existing device, the PRECISION Endoscopic Infrared Coagulator™ with SINGLE-USE DISPOSABLE MAXI-GUIDE FLEXIBLE LIGHTGUIDE. The submission explicitly states that there are no technology differences between the submission device and its predicate devices, and no changes to the intended use or indications for use.

    Therefore, the study performed is focused on demonstrating that the design changes do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device, rather than proving performance against new acceptance criteria for a novel technology.

    Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Given that this is a 510(k) for a design change with no technological differences or changes to intended use, the acceptance criteria are implicitly that the device continues to meet the safety and effectiveness profile of the predicate devices. The reported performance is verification that these standards are maintained.

    Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from 510(k) context for design changes)Reported Device Performance
    SafetyDevice design changes do not introduce new safety risks."all tests passed"
    EffectivenessDevice design changes do not negatively impact the ability to coagulate blood and tissue for its stated indications."all tests passed"
    Substantial EquivalenceDevice remains substantially equivalent to predicate devices, maintaining previous performance characteristics."The submission device is substantially equivalent and as safe and effective as the predicate devices."

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    The document does not specify a quantitative sample size for the "bench testing" performed. It generally states that "Verification testing results for the design changes were completed and all tests passed."

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated (likely refers to a number of test articles/units for bench testing).
    • Data Provenance: The testing was "Bench testing," implying it was conducted in a laboratory or engineering setting by the manufacturer (Optim LLC in Sturbridge, MA). It is retrospective in the sense that it's verifying changes to an existing design, not gathering new clinical data on patients.

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

    This type of information is not applicable to this 510(k) submission.

    • This submission is not for an AI/ML device, diagnostic device, or a device that requires human interpretation of outputs to establish ground truth.
    • The "verification testing" described is bench testing, which assesses engineering and functional performance against defined specifications, not against expert-established ground truth related to clinical outcomes or interpretations.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable for the reasons stated above. There's no interpretive test set 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. This device is an infrared coagulator, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic tool that would involve human readers or image interpretation.


    6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    Not applicable. This device does not involve an algorithm with standalone performance.


    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for this type of submission is typically defined by engineering specifications, established performance parameters of the predicate device, and compliance with relevant consensus standards. For example, ground truth for power output might be a specific wattage as measured by calibrated equipment, or ground truth for light guide flexibility might be its ability to withstand a certain bend radius without damage. The document indicates verification was against the safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices.


    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.


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

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

This indicates safety and basic performance testing was done against recognized industry standards, which is a common way to demonstrate safety and effectiveness for predicate-based devices.
    • Substantial Equivalence: The primary "proof" in this 510(k) is the demonstration of substantial equivalence to predicate devices (MegaDyne Suction Coagulator K946327 and Valleylab's Lectrovac K791752) based on shared technological characteristics and intended use. The FDA's letter explicitly states: "We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification... and have determined the device is substantially equivalent...".

    In essence, for this type of device and submission, the "acceptance criteria" are generally met by demonstrating compliance with established voluntary consensus standards and showing that the device is technologically similar and has the same intended use as a legally marketed predicate. Specific numerical performance metrics against detailed acceptance criteria from a dedicated clinical study are typically not required or provided in a 510(k) for such a device.

    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: Not applicable. This submission does not involve a "test set" in the context of evaluating a diagnostic or AI algorithm. Biocompatibility testing typically involves in vitro and in vivo animal studies, but specific sample sizes and detailed provenance are not provided in this summary.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable for a clinical test set. Biocompatibility reports are referenced but their details (e.g., specific test animal origins, retrospective/prospective) are not included.

    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. No clinical "ground truth" establishment by experts is described as this is not a diagnostic device or AI algorithm requiring such validation. Biocompatibility testing follows standardized protocols, with interpretation by qualified toxicologists/biologists typically, though specific numbers/qualifications are not provided here.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    • Not applicable. No adjudication method is described as there is no diagnostic test set requiring human review and consensus.

    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 an electrosurgical accessory, not an AI or diagnostic tool, so an MRMC study is not relevant.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    • Not applicable. This device is a physical electrosurgical accessory, not an algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    • Not applicable for clinical performance. For biocompatibility, the "ground truth" is defined by established scientific principles and regulatory standards (e.g., ISO 10993) interpreted by lab results regarding cytotoxicity, hemolysis, etc. For functional performance, the "ground truth" is assumed to be equivalent to the predicate device's established safe and effective performance in surgical contexts.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device; therefore, there is no "training set."

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    • Not applicable. No training set exists for this device.
