AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP Authorized
Intended Use
Electrosurgical coagulation, electrosurgical cutting, dissection of tissue, irrigation and aspiration during the performance of laparoscopic and general surgical procedures.
Device Description
The device is a Class II medical device. The Bipolar L Hook is a modification to the predicate device cleared under K904993. The Bipolar L Hook is identical in construction (with the exception of shaft length) and in component materials when compared to the predicate device. The forceps jaws are electrically isolated from each other enabling one jaw to act as a refurn electrode, eliminating the need for a return pad. The modification has not altered the fundamental technology of the predicate device cleared under K904993. The intended use, electrosurgical coagulation, grasping and dissection of the tissue during surgical procedures is similar to the predicate devices cleared under K904993. The energy source, bipolar electrosurgical energy, is the same energy type as used for the predicate devices.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on electrosurgical technology and modifications to a predicate device, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device's described functions (electrosurgical coagulation, cutting, dissection) are interventional and perform a physical action on tissue, which does not align with the definition of a therapeutic device that typically treats a condition.

No

The device description clearly states its functions are electrosurgical coagulation, cutting, tissue dissection, irrigation, and aspiration during surgical procedures. These are all therapeutic and procedural actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Bipolar L Hook" and describes physical components like "forceps jaws" and "shaft length," indicating it is a hardware device used in surgical procedures.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes surgical procedures performed on the patient (electrosurgical coagulation, cutting, dissection, irrigation, and aspiration). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument used for direct interaction with tissue during surgery. This is consistent with a surgical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, this device is a surgical instrument used during procedures, not an IVD.

The device is a Class II medical device. The Bipolar L Hook is a modification to the predicate device cleared under K904993. The Bipolar L Hook is identical in construction (with the exception of shaft length) and in component materials when compared to the predicate device. The forceps jaws are electrically isolated from each other enabling one jaw to act as a refurn electrode, eliminating the need for a return pad. The modification has not altered the fundamental technology of the predicate device cleared under K904993. The intended use, electrosurgical coagulation, grasping and dissection of the tissue during surgical procedures is similar to the predicate devices cleared under K904993. The energy source, bipolar electrosurgical energy, is the same energy type as used for the predicate devices.

In conclusion, as the design, materials of construction, function and intended use of the modified Bipolar L Hook is similar to that of the predicate devices currently cleared, Gyrus Medical Inc. believes that no new issues of safety and effectiveness are raised and that the submitted device is substantially equivalent.

Dear Ms. Bayani:

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.
