The SP1098 usability risk analysis was developed with feedback from internal functional group experts, using cognitive walk-through, experience from prior products, and internal testing to identify use-related risks. This usability risk analysis was updated throughout the design process as formative testing was conducted, system design was iterated, new use errors were identified, and new mitigations were implemented. Formative testing was conducted both on complete system prototypes and on individual features of the user interface design. Those tests, along with information about the use of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System (Model IS4000), with which the SP1098 shares some design features, helped identify use-related risks for the SP1098 system.
A summative validation study was conducted to evaluate high-risk use scenarios and essential tasks that were not assessed in previous usability validations. This study was conducted in a simulated operating room and involved preoperative preparation and simulated surgical procedures, as well as emergency procedures that involved safetycritical tasks. Training materials and user manuals were developed in concert with the product hardware and software, and were assessed in the validation study. The goals of human factors validation testing were to:
- . Validate risk mitigations to ensure use-safety and effectiveness of the system
- Assess any previously unknown use-related hazards, or identify and assess any . hazards resulting from implemented mitigations
- Evaluate ease of use .
- Assess effectiveness of user documentation .
- Assess effectiveness of training material .
A total of 15 surgical teams (surgeon and patient-side assistant) and 15 prep teams (scrub tech and circulating nurse) participated in the study. Participants underwent the training a user would be provided for the SP1098 system on the first day. The testing sessions were conducted in a simulated operating room environment. Participants were asked to use sterile technique within the surgical field. In addition to the normal use situation of performing the necessary surgical tasks to complete the procedures, imposed scenarios were interiected to test use scenarios that may not occur during normal operation of the system, such as responding to an EnergyShield Monitor fault. Data collected included both objective performance data and subjective feedback from participants. Objective performance data included observations of users' ability to complete tasks, use errors, close calls, and any difficulties encountered. Subjective feedback included open-ended questions about risks and safety, multiple choice ratings, and follow-up interviews.
The human factors engineering process, culminating in a summative usability validation study, was used to identify and assess the use-related risks associated with the SP1098

system. The safety and usability of the SP1098 were assessed to ensure that residual risk is at an acceptable level, and new hazardous use scenarios identified during testing were assessed according to an accepted risk management process and updated in the usability risk analysis for the SP1098 system.

# Conclusion:
Based on the intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics and performance data, the Intuitive Surgical da Vinci SP Surgical System, Model SP1098, EndoWrist SP Instruments, and Accessories, is substantially equivalent (SE) to the predicate device. This SE determination is based on performance testing that included: bench, cadaver, and animal testing with simulated and representative urological procedures. The bench performance testing verified that the design requirements and specifications for the new and/or changed components of the system are met. The cadaver performance testing validated the users' ability to use the system to accurately control the endoscopic instruments, to reach the necessary target anatomy, and to perform surgical tasks. The simulated and representative urological procedures in live animals provided validation that the system can safely and effectively complete representative urologic procedures encompassed by the indications for use statement. Finally, the human factors assessment provided further assurance that risks due to user errors are identified and mitigated.
