Intended Use
The Smith & Nephew ElectroBlade Adaptor, when used in conjunction with The Smith & Nephew ElectroBlade® Resector is indicated in arthroscopic surgical procedures of large and small articular cavities for resection and excision of soft tissue. The Smith & Nephew ElectroBlade® Resector is effective in tissue resection and hemostasis of bleeding vessels. It is intended for arthroscopic procedures using saline solution, Ringer's lactate or other conductive solutions as an irrigant under direct or video-assisted fiber-optic visualization.
Device Description
The Smith & Nephew ElectroBlade® Resector combines electrosurgical and shaver technology to provide hemostasis and mechanical cutting in a single instrument. The Smith & Nephew ElectroBlade® Adaptor is a transformer that converts the power output of the generator into a higher current / lower voltage output.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a surgical instrument combining electrosurgical and shaver technology and an adaptor. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components. The performance studies focus on electrical safety and sterilization standards, not algorithmic performance.

Yes.
The device is used in arthroscopic surgical procedures for "resection and excision of soft tissue" and "hemostasis of bleeding vessels," which are therapeutic interventions.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a surgical tool used for resection and excision of soft tissue, combining electrosurgical and shaver technology. Its intended use is in "arthroscopic surgical procedures," which are interventional rather than diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "transformer that converts the power output of the generator into a higher current / lower voltage output," indicating it is a hardware component, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "arthroscopic surgical procedures of large and small articular cavities for resection and excision of soft tissue." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as combining "electrosurgical and shaver technology" and an "adaptor that converts the power output of the generator." This aligns with a surgical instrument, not a device used for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a surgical tool used during a procedure.

Dear Ms. Provencher:

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.
