The device description and performance studies focus on the reprocessing and physical characteristics of a surgical trocar, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device, a trocar, is used to create a pathway for instruments during surgery. It is a surgical tool, not a device intended to treat or cure a disease or condition.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a surgical instrument (trocar) intended to provide a pathway for entry of instruments during minimally invasive surgery. It facilitates surgical procedures by creating access and maintaining a cavity, rather than by diagnosing a condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly details physical components like cannulae, obturators, sleeves, seals, and ports, indicating it is a hardware medical device. The reprocessing aspect also confirms it's a physical object.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide a pathway for entry of instruments during minimally invasive surgery." This is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.
- Device Description: The description details a physical instrument (trocar) used for surgical access.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (in glass, or outside the living organism) to analyze samples. This device is used in vivo (in the living organism) as a surgical instrument.

Device Description
Vanguard Reprocessed Trocar is a previously used device that has been cleaned, inspected, packaged and sterilized by Vanguard Medical Concepts, Inc.
Trocar Cannulae is available with smooth or threaded sleeve in sizes 5-15mm inner diameter and 5-15cm length. Cannulae are equipped with a pressure seal for maintenance of pneumopertineum during insertion and withdrawal of instruments. Some models are equipped with a luer stopcock port for insufflation and desufflation of the operative cavity. Some models are provided with stability anchors inserted over the cannula sleeve to help seal the incision site and maintain cavity pressure.
Trocar Obturator is available in shielded and non-shielded configurations sized 5-15mm. Models equipped with a safety shield are designed to expose the blade during insertion but to retract over the tip once the operative cavity has been penetrated, so as to reduce the risk for vascular or visceral injury. Non-shielded optical obturators are equipped with a clear tip and an 11-12mm video laparoscopy channel to allow trocar insertion under direct visual guidance and minimize the risk for internal injury.

Dear Ms. Barton:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of April 8, 2005. The above-referenced premarket notification (510(k)) was cleared by the Office Evaluation (ODE) on March 31, 2005. We have received your supplemental validation data as required for reprocessed singleuse devices by the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002. After reviewing your supplemental validation data, we have determined the devices listed in the enclosure accompanying this letter are 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 these devices, 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 devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA) they 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 devices 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 devices comply 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 applicable 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.
The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to legally marketed predicate devices results in classification for your devices and thus, permits you to legally market the devices. This letter will allow you to continue marketing the devices listed in the enclosure accompanying this letter.
If you desire specific advice for your devices on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
