Intended Use
The HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery, TurboBurr and Curette is indicated for orthopedic surgical procedures where the cutting and removal of soft tissue and the ablation and removal of hard tissue or bone is required, with control of bleeding during those procedures as needed. Specific functions include cutting, ablation and shaping of soft tissue, and drilling, reaming, decorticating and smoothing of bone, cartilage and other bone related tissue in a variety of surgical procedures including open and minimally invasive spinal surgeries and small and large joint arthroscopic procedures.
Device Description
The HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery, TurboBurr, and Curette consists of the reusable power control unit; a sterile, disposable pump cartridge and tubing assembly; and sterile, disposable handpieces with curette. It provides the same functions as the predicate upon which it is based. The handpiece includes the rotating burr, which is driven by a fluidjet driven rotor.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical surgical system for cutting and removing tissue, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No
The device is used for surgical procedures involving cutting, removal, and shaping of tissue and bone, which are interventions rather than therapeutic treatments aimed at restoring health.

No
The 'Intended Use' section describes surgical procedures for cutting, removing, and ablating tissue, not diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a reusable power control unit, a sterile, disposable pump cartridge and tubing assembly, and sterile, disposable handpieces.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical system used for cutting, removing, ablating, and shaping tissues (soft and hard) during orthopedic surgical procedures. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a surgical system with a power control unit, pump, tubing, and handpieces with burrs and curettes. These are tools used for physical manipulation of tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is a surgical tool used directly on the patient during a procedure.

Identification of Legally Marketed Device 3.

The modified HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery, TurboBurr, and Curette is substantially equivalent in intended use to the HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery and TurboBurr (K020688).

Device Description 4.

The HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery, TurboBurr, and Curette consists of the reusable power control unit; a sterile, disposable pump cartridge and tubing assembly; and sterile, disposable handpieces with curette. It provides the same functions as the predicate upon which it is based. The handpiece includes the rotating burr, which is driven by a fluidjet driven rotor.

    1. Intended Use
      The HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery, TurboBurr, and Curette is indicated for orthopedic surgical procedures where the cutting and removal of soft tissue and the ablation and removal of hard tissue or bone is required, with control of bleeding during those procedures as needed. Specific functions include cutting, ablation and shaping of

soft tissue, and drilling, reaming, decorticating and smoothing of bone, cartilage and other bone related tissue in a variety of surgical procedures including open and minimally invasive spinal surgeries and small and large joint arthroscopic procedures.

    1. Comparison of Technological Characteristics Both the current and modified devices:
    • A. Have the same intended use

Both are intended for resection of tissue and bone in open and minimally invasive orthopedic procedures.

  • B. Use the same fundamental scientific technology
    • a reusable power console unit
    • fluid jet technology .
    • mechanical cutting using sharpened steel .
    • bipolar electrocautery .
    • a sterile, disposable pump cartridge, handpiece and tubing assembly ● comprised of two principal components:
      • a high pressure fluid conduit with integral fluidjet nozzle .
      • a low pressure collection tube. .

The differences between the proposed HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery, Turbo Burr and Curette and the current HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery and TurboBurr (K020688) are:

  • Addition of Curette tool to the distal end of direct fluidjet handpieces 康
    1. Performance Testing

Bench and cadaver testing were conducted to determine device functionality and conformance to design input requirements.
