The description focuses on mechanical and pneumatic control of the device's motion and suction, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for decision-making, data analysis, or adaptive control.
Yes
The device is intended for the removal of soft tissue and fluid from the body during general surgical procedures, specifically including suction lipoplasty for aesthetic body contouring. This falls under the definition of a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is intended for the removal of soft tissue and fluid and operates as a surgical tool, not for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a hand-piece, cannulas, a power control console, cables, and a magnetic cylinder, indicating it is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "removal of soft tissue and fluid from the body during general surgical procedures including suction lipoplasty for aesthetic body contouring." This describes a surgical procedure performed on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical system for performing liposuction, involving a hand-piece, cannulas, and a power control console. It focuses on the physical action of removing tissue and fluid.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical tool for removing tissue and fluid.

Device Description
The Airbrush™ Liposculptor System consists of a handheld pneumatic reciprocating hand-piece, multiple detachable and interchangeable cannulas, and the power control console (Intellimotion™ Controller) and connection cables, The Airbrush™ Liposculptor System uses external air sources which the user may choose among those readily available within a hospital or clinical environment.
The pneumatic hand-piece reciprocates the inner of the two attached cannulas through an infinitely adjustable stoke length of 0-10 cm at an infinitely adjustable rate of 0-300 strokes per minute. The hand-piece is powered and controlled by the Intellimotion™ Power Control Console.
Reciprocation of the interchangeable inner cannulas is effected by means of a releasable coupling to a carriage riding on a dual acting magnetic cylinder.
The knob on the side allows the surgeon to adjust with his/her index finger the stroke length from 0 to 10 cm. When turned to 0, the stroke knob turns reciprocation "off" and positions and locks the inner cannula at the forward most position for cannula changing. removal or manual liposuction
The trigger on the bottom, when depressed, serves to adjust the rate of reciprocation from 0-300 cpm. When released or when the instrument is set down, a spring elevates the trigger so that reciprocation is turned "off" and the inner cannula is positioned and locked at the forward most position for cannula changing, removal or manual liposuction. The slide latch at the front of the trigger allows the trigger to be locked in a depressed position when in the posterior position and the trigger to be opened for cannula changing or removal when placed in the anterior position.
Standard suction connecting tubing is used to connect the barb at the base of the inner cannula to a conventional aspiration unit. The inlet valves at either end of the dual acting magnetic cylinder are alternately pressurized and vented by connection to air lines entering the multi-plug at the rear of the instrument. A transducer in the housing provides instantaneous feedback information as to the motion and location of the cylinder carriage at all times.
The interchangeable cannula pairs are essentially blunt-tipped hollow concentric tubes of either stainless steel or plastic. The internal diameter ranges from 2mm to 8mm and the overall length external to the instrument varies from 14 to 33 cm length. In each case one or more smaller oval apertures on the inner cannula remain aligned with a longer slot on the outer cannula during each stroke. The surgeon may vary the rate and stroke of the reciprocating action while he is actively performing liposuction. Should the surgeon set either the rate or length of stroke to zero, reciprocation is turned "off" and the device functions as a manual aspiration device.
The reciprocating action of the Airbrush™ Liposuction simulates the manual hand motion of the surgeon. At the same time, the powered cannula minimizes surgical effort by reducing the amount of necessary hand motion.
The Airbrush™ Liposuction System has a built-in safety feature which precludes the device being activated when cannulas are being changed or in the event hard tissue is encountered. Since inner cannula motion is by means of a magnetic linkage only, if significant resistance is encountered to inner cannula motion, the magnetic linkage will be reversibly uncoupled.
Sterility of the multiple use Airbrush™ Liposculptor hand-piece (reusable) and connection cables (reusable) is achieved through Steam Sterilization, the disposable suction cannula and connection cables are sterilized using Gamma Radiation or Ethylene Oxide Sterilization.
Cannulas: Multiple-use inner and outer cannula is made of stainless steel. The interchangeable cannula pairs are essentially blunt-tipped hollow concentric tubes of either stainless steel or plastic. The internal diameter ranges from 2 mm to 8 mm. and the overall length external to the instrument varies from 14 to 33 cm. in length. In each case one or more smaller apertures on the inner cannula remain aligned with a longer slot on the outer cannula during each stroke. There are one or more holes at the tip of the inner cannulas. There is a through and through hole at the tip of the inner cannula so that the outer cannula can be rotated 180 degrees and snapped into position to allow suctioning on the opposite side of a limb or torso by concealing one aperture and exposing the other without the necessity of changing cannulas.
Connection Cables: A single multicore cable carries all electrical and pneumatic connections from the hand piece to the power control console. Both ends are terminated by quick-connect multiplugs.
Power Control Console: Bar graphs offer instantaneous display of the rate of reciprocation and the relative position of the inner cannula and stroke length at all times. A panel display offers a more precise digital read out of rate and stroke as well as alert conditions. Stroke may be displayed in inch or centimeter units. The power control console receives an input of pressurized gas from any of the convenient sources available in operating room settings such as tanked nitrogen gas and uses it to power cylinder reciprocation under control of a proprietary integrated circuit which includes a digital signal processor (DSP) and analogue to digital converter (ADC). The DSP cycles four flow control valves to instantaneously vary the reciprocation rate and stroke in response to the surgeon's stroke knob and trigger settings at the hand piece. The firmness with which the carriage ends each stroke is moderately cushioned at the default factory setting but may increased or decreased in response to surgeon's preference by trained manufacturer's representatives.
Software: The software reads input from the desired stroke, rate and cushion settings and combines that with transducer input of inner cannula position to adjust appropriate cylinder pressurization and venting. When either the stroke control knob is turned to zero or the trigger released the software positions and locks the cannula in the forward position and turns the reciprocation "off" so that the cannula may be changed or removed.
