    Intended Use

    The device PNEUMOCLEAR™ is a CO2 insufflator intended for use during diagnostic and/or therapeutic endoscopic procedures to distend a cavity by filling it with gas. The Standard, High Flow/Bariatric, Pediatric and Advanced Flow operating mode of the device are indicated to fill and distend a peritoneal cavity with gas during a laparoscopic procedure. The Pediatric operating mode is indicated for pediatric laparoscopic procedures. The Vest operating mode is indicated for use during endoscopic vessel harvesting procedures to create a cavity along the saphenous vein or radial artery. The TAMIS operating mode is indicated to fill and distend the rectum and colon using CO2 gas during trans anal minimal invasive surgery.

    Device Description

    The PNEUMOCLEAR™ is a microprocessor controlled CO2 insufflator that consists of the following major components and features: (1) a casing, (2) a world power supply, (3) pressure reducers, (4) pressure sensors, (4) venting systems, (5) various safety valves. (6) a suction pump. (7) a fluid sensor and (8) a software controlled graphical user interface (GUI) touch screen with various setting keys and display elements. The proposed device offers six operating modes (i.e. Standard, High Flow/Bariatric, Pediatric, Advanced Flow, Vessel Harvest, and TAMIS. The PNEUMOCLEAR™is not intended to enter the sterile field, and cannot be sterilized. It is to be used with specially designed single-use insufflation tube sets that are delivered sterile. Specifically, five different tube sets may be used with the proposed device: (1) insufflation tube set with integrated filter, (2) insufflation tube set with integrated filter and heating wire; (3) insufflation tube set with integrated filter, heating wire and humidification media; (4) insufflation and smoke evacuation tube set with integrated filter, heating wire, and humidification media; and insufflation and smoke evacuation tube set with integrated filter. When used with a smoke evacuation tube set the PNEUMOCLEAR™ allows for removal and filtration of CO2 and surgical smoke from the abdomen, rectum or colon during laparoscopic and transanal minimally invasive procedures and at the end of a procedure.

    AI/ML Overview

    The PNEUMOCLEAR™ device is a CO2 insufflator for endoscopic procedures. The information provided outlines several performance tests but does not present a formal table of acceptance criteria with reported device performance or extensive details on study design as typically found in clinical trials for AI/ML devices.

    However, based on the provided text, we can infer some "acceptance criteria" through the comparisons made against predicate devices and adherence to relevant standards. The "study" refers to a series of bench tests, electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing, software verification and validation, biocompatibility testing, and sterilization and package testing.

    Here's an attempt to structure the information as requested, with caveats regarding the absence of explicit acceptance criteria and detailed study parameters for each test:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

    • The document does not specify sample sizes for any of the bench tests, electrical safety, software, biocompatibility, or sterilization tests.
    • The data provenance is not explicitly stated as country of origin, retrospective or prospective. However, the tests are stated to have been performed by "independent laboratories" implying these are controlled laboratory tests rather than clinical studies. Given the context of a 510(k) submission, these would be prospective testing protocols executed to demonstrate compliance.

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

    • This information is not applicable in the context of this device and the provided document. The PNEUMOCLEAR™ is a hardware-based insufflator, not an AI/imaging device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth establishment. The "ground truth" for its performance is determined by objective physical measurements (e.g., pressure, flow, electrical parameters) and adherence to engineering standards.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used in clinical studies, especially for diagnostic devices where subjective interpretation is involved. The performance of this device is assessed through objective, quantifiable measurements against design specifications and predicate device performance.

    5. If a Multi-Reader, Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

    • No, a Multi-Reader, Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices involving human interpretation (e.g., radiologists interpreting images) to assess the impact of AI assistance on reader performance. The PNEUMOCLEAR™ is a therapeutic/procedural device, not a diagnostic one of this nature. Therefore, the effect size of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance is not applicable.

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

    • Beyond the software verification and validation, which assesses the algorithm's functionality, a standalone study in the context of an AI-driven diagnostic device (e.g., measuring algorithm-only performance metrics like AUC, sensitivity, specificity on a dataset) was not performed or described. The device's "algorithms" primarily refer to its control logic (e.g., for pressure regulation, "Intelligent Steady Insufflation" in Advanced Flow mode), which are evaluated through the various bench tests demonstrating the device's functional performance in a simulated environment.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • The "ground truth" for the PNEUMOCLEAR™ device is based on objective physical measurements (e.g., pressure, flow rates, electrical parameters, chemical residuals, sterility levels) and adherence to established international and national standards (IEC, ISO, AAMI, ASTM). For comparative bench testing, the performance of the predicate devices under identical conditions serves as a benchmark for "substantial equivalence."

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • This information is not applicable. The PNEUMOCLEAR™ is a deterministic device, not an AI/ML device that typically requires a 'training set' for machine learning models. Its control logic and performance characteristics are based on engineering design and calibration, not learned from data. The software described is for controlling the device, not for making predictions or classifications based on a large dataset.

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

    • This information is not applicable as there is no "training set" in the context of this device.
