Intended Use
The Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic Instrument Control System (da Vinci SP Surgical System, Model SP1098) is intended to assist in the accurate control of Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist SP Instruments during urologic and general thoracoscopic surgical procedures that are appropriate for a single port approach and transoral otolaryngology surgical procedures in the oropharynx restricted to benign tumors and malignant tumors classified as T1 and T2. The system is indicated for adult use. It is intended for use by trained physicians in an operating room environment in accordance with the representative, specific procedures set forth in the Professional Instructions for Use.
Device Story
The da Vinci SP Surgical System (Model SP1098) is a software-controlled, electro-mechanical system for minimally invasive surgery. It comprises a Surgeon Console, Patient Cart, and Vision Cart. Surgeons control EndoWrist SP Instruments via master controls and foot pedals while viewing 3D endoscopic images. The Patient Cart, positioned at the OR table, holds a camera and three instruments, all entering through a single port. Instruments include graspers, scissors, needle drivers, and clip appliers. The system enables triangulation and X-Y movement mimicking human wrist/shoulder/elbow motion. New 'Extended Range' instruments feature longer forearms for increased lateral motion; 'Enhanced Wrist' instruments feature increased wrist range of motion (86 degrees vs 72 degrees). The 'GripSelect' algorithm allows toggling between default and strong grip modes for bipolar instruments. The system assists trained physicians in performing tissue manipulation, dissection, suturing, and electrocautery, potentially improving surgical precision and patient outcomes in single-port procedures.

The Model SP1098 Surgical System consists of a Surgeon Console, a Patient Cart, and a Vision Cart, and is used with a Camera Instruments, and Accessories. The surgeon seated at the Surgeon Console controls all movement of the EndoWrist SP Instrument by using two Master Controls and a set of foot pealals. The surgeon views the three-dimensional endoscopic image on a High-Resolution Stereo Viewer (3D Viewer), which provides him/her a view of patient anatomy and instrumentation, along with icons and other user interface features.
The Vision Cart includes the supporting electronic and video processing equipment for the system.
The Patient Cart is positioned at the operating room table and has four instrument drives on a single arm that is positioned over the target patient anatomy. A Camera Instrument attaches onto one instrument drive and provides the surgeon a high resolution, threedimensional view of the patient anatomy. A suite of da Vinci SP Instruments can be attached from the other three instrument drives, enabling the surgeon to perform various surgical tasks. The Camera Instruments can be used simultaneously, entering the patient through a single port. Accessories including a cannula, an ontry guide, SP Access Port and disposable tips for selected instruments, instrument sheaths, and a drape are needed to perform procedures with the system.
The EndoWrist SP Instruments come in various configurations such as graspers, scissors, and needle drivers. The da Vinci SP instruments have a unique articulating design at the distal tip that mimics the human wrist, shoulder, and elbow to enable triangulation and X-Y movement of the instrument in the body. Each instrument is used to perform specific surgical tasks such as grasping, suturing, tissue manipulation, and electrocautery. The da Vinci SP Instruments can be used only with the SP1098 Surgical System. The instruments are reusable. They are programmed with a maximum number of surgical procedures based upon life testing.

### Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate/Reference Device(s)
The modifications to the SP1098 System include introduction of new SP Instruments:
### SP Force Bipolar Instruments
The Force Bipolar is intended to be used with the da Vinci SP system for dissecting, grasping, manipulating, retracting, and coagulating tissues and vessels. The Force Bipolar is also intended for grasping and manipulating compatible bulldog clamps. The Force Bipolar is a 6 mm, multi-use instrument with bipolar energy capability. This instrument allows the user to temporarily apply a Strong Grip Mode, depending on surgical needs. The default SP Force Bipolar grip is the same as the SP Fenestrated Bipolar Forceps (PN 43001), cleared in the predicate device submission, K240502) and operates in this grip until the user applies Strong Grip Mode. While operating in Strong Grip Mode, the instrument has grip characteristics that are 50% greater than the Force Bipolar default mode. The change in the grip mode setting from DEFAULT to STRONG and vice versa is enabled by a software algorithm, "GripSelect". The Grip Selection feature on the subject device essentially combines the capabilities of two instruments into a single instrument. The "Grip Selection feature" on the subject devices (SP Force Bipolar Instruments) is IDENTICAL to the reference device (EndoWrist® Mercury Bipolar Grasper, also referred to as da Vinci Xi Force Bipolar cleared via K180351). The SP Force Bipolar Instrument is available in two versions: SP Force Bipolar, Standard Range (PN 430150) and SP Force Bipolar, Extended Range (PN 431150). The Standard and Extended Range instruments have the Extended Range instruments have a longer forearm allowing for extended lateral range of motion (as shown in Figure 1).

### Comparison of Predicate and Subject Devices (da Vinci SP Force Bipolar Instruments)
Table 6 includes a comparison of the subject devices (da Vinci SP Force Bipolar Instruments) and the Predicated Bipolar Forceps cleared via K240502 and Reference Device, EndoWrist® Mevoury Bipolar Grasper, also referred to as da Vinci Xi Force Bipolar cleared via K180351. Differences in the Characteristics as noted by GREYING OUT the specific rows. Additionally, any differences in the specific characteristics within these rows are BOLDED.
The SP Force Bipolar instruments allow the user to temporarily apply a Strong Grip Mode, depending on surgical needs. The default SP Force Bipolar grip is the same as the SP Fenestrated Bipolar Ecreed in the predicate device submission, K240502) and operates in this grip until the user applies Strong Grip Mode. While operating in Strong Grip Mode, the instrument has grip characteristics that are 50% greater than the Force Bipolar default mode. The change in the grip mode setting from DEFAULT to STRONG and vice versa is enabled by a software algorithm, "GripSelect". The Grip Selection feature essentially combines the capabilities of two instruments into a single instrument. The "Grip Selection feature" on the subject devices (SP Force Bipolar Instruments) is IDENTICAL to the reference device (EndoWrist® Mercurv Bipolar Grasper, also referred to as da Vinci Xi Force Bipolar cleared via K180351).
There are no significant user facing changes on the SP Force Bipolar Instruments, as compared to the predicated Bipolar Forceps, cleared in K240502) and the reference device (da Vinci Xi Force Bipolar Grasper, cleared in K180351). The user facing changes to the SP Force Bipolar Instruments (subject devices), regarding changing the grip strength from "Default" mode to "Strong" mode, and vice versa, from the Surgeon Console is identical to the reference device, the da Vinci Xi Force Bipolar Instrument (cleared via K18035 }). Additionally, both the Xi and SP Surgical System use the same Surgeon Console sub-system.
No additional human factors testing was warranted for the SP Force Bipolar Instruments and the human factors validation testing which was performed on the predicate and reference devices (K240502 and K180351), was leveraged for the SP Force Bipolar Instruments.
Performance testing (bench, animal, and cadaver tests) on the subject devices (SP Force Bipolar Instruments), as summarized in Table 10, demonstrates that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K240502) and does not raise of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device.
