Intended Use
The Coalescent Surgical U-CLIP™ is intended for endoscopic and non-endoscopic general soft tissue and prosthetic material approximation/attachment and/or ligation and the creation of anastomoses in blood vessels, grafts and other tubular structures; including use in cardiovascular and coronary artery bypass grafting procedures.
Device Description
The Coalescent Surgical U-CLIP™ device is a self-closing clip for vascular anastomosis and tissue approximation/attachment applications. The U-CLIP consists of specially designed vascular clips optionally connected to needles via flexible members. These clips may not include coils surrounding a Nitinol wire core. This design allows precise placement of clips prior to closure and facilitation of an interrupted "suture" technique through elimination of knot tying. The device is fabricated from standard medical and implantable grade materials. Accessories include Clip delivery and removal devices as well as vessel retention tools.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical clip and delivery system with no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing.

No
The device is described as a surgical clip for tissue approximation, attachment, and ligation, and for creating anastomoses in various anatomical structures during surgical procedures. It is a tool used during surgery rather than for treating a condition or disease on its own.

No.
The device is described as a self-closing clip used for surgical procedures involving tissue approximation, attachment, ligation, and the creation of anastomoses. These are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, implantable clip made from medical and implantable grade materials, along with accessories like delivery and removal devices. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

Based on the provided information, the Coalescent Surgical U-CLIP™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device's function in approximating/attaching and ligating tissues and structures within the body during surgical procedures. This is a direct surgical intervention, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical clip and its accessories used for physical manipulation of tissues and vessels. It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis
    • Using reagents or assays

The Coalescent Surgical U-CLIP™ is clearly a surgical device used for mechanical purposes during procedures.

Dear Mr. Daniel:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in

the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
