Intended Use
The SurgASSIST® Straight Linear 4 Row No Knife Digital Loading Units® with Reloads have applications for general and endoscopic surgery in gastrointestinal, gynecological, general abdominal and thoracic surgical procedures tor resection, transection, creation of anastomoses, for open occlusion of the heart's left atrial appendage.
Device Description
The devices described here are reloadable Straight Linear 4 Row No Knife Digital Loading Units® (DLUs) with Reloads for single patient use. The SLS55B4 DLUs are designed to place two, double-staggered rows of titanium staples in various types of tissues. The SLS55B4 DLUs are used to close otomies and other common and uncommon openings by applying staples through the tissue and forming the staples to a controlled closed condition to secure the layers of tissue together.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, deep learning, image processing, or any other terms typically associated with AI/ML technology in medical devices. The description focuses on the mechanical function of stapling.

No
The device is a surgical stapler used for closing tissues and creating anastomoses, but it does not inherently treat or cure a disease or condition, which is a characteristic of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as placing staples to close openings and create anastomoses in various tissues, which are surgical and treatment-oriented functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a reloadable Straight Linear 4 Row No Knife Digital Loading Unit® (DLU) with Reloads, which are physical devices designed to place staples in tissue. This indicates a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a surgical stapler used for "resection, transection, creation of anastomoses, for open occlusion of the heart's left atrial appendage." It physically manipulates and joins tissues within the body.
  • Lack of In Vitro Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples outside of the body. Its function is entirely surgical and in vivo.

Therefore, the SurgASSIST® Straight Linear 4 Row No Knife Digital Loading Units® with Reloads is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Whitman:

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.
