No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and ultrasonic energy delivery for tissue dissection and hemostasis, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for image analysis, decision support, or automated control.
No.
The device description indicates it is a surgical instrument for soft tissue incisions and bleeding control, not a device used for therapeutic treatment of a disease or condition.
No
Explanation: The device description and intended use clearly state that it is a surgical instrument for tissue incision and bleeding control, not for identifying or diagnosing a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly details a physical surgical instrument with a pistol grip, hand control buttons, a rotating shaft, curved blade, and clamp arm. This is a hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided information, the Harmonic ACE™ Curved Shears with Hand Control is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "soft tissue incisions" during surgical procedures. This is an in vivo application (within a living organism), not an in vitro application (outside of the body, typically on biological samples).
- Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument with a blade and clamp arm designed for cutting and controlling bleeding during surgery. This aligns with a surgical tool, not a device used for testing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), which is the core function of an IVD.
Therefore, the Harmonic ACE™ Curved Shears with Hand Control is a surgical instrument used directly on a patient during a procedure, not an IVD device used for diagnostic testing of samples.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Harmonic ACE™ Curved Shears with Hand Control is indicated for soft tissue incisions when bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are desired. The instrument can be used as an adjunct to or substitute for electrosurgery, lasers, and steel scalpels in general, pediatric, gynecologic, urologic and other open and endoscopic procedures.

Device Description
The Harmonic ACE™ Curved Shears with Hand Control is a sterile, single patient use instrument consisting of a pistol grip housing assembly with hand control buttons (MIN for minimum power level and MAX for maximum power level) on both sides of the grip housing. The grip housing has an integrated audible/tactile mechanism for indicating full trigger closure. The instrument has a rotating shaft with a curved blade and clamp arm and is designed to work through a 5 mm trocar, through a 5 mm reducer cap in a larger diameter trocar, or through an incision without the use of a trocar. The instrument is available in 23 cm and 36 cm lengths with a shaft diameter of 5.5 mm and a 15 mm active blade length.

Dear Ms. Shoemaker:
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 nay 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.
