Intended Use
The Intuitive Surgical® Endoscopic Instrument Control System is intended to assist in the accurate control of Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic Instruments including rigid endoscopes, blunt and sharp endoscopic dissectors, scissors, scalpels, ultrasonic shears, forceps/pickups, needle holders, endoscopic retractors, stabilizers, electrocautery and accessories for endoscopic manipulation of tissue, including grasping, cutting, blunt and sharp dissection, approximation, ligation, electrocautery, suturing, and delivery and placement of microwave ablation probes and accessories during general laparoscopic surgical procedures, general non-cardiovascular thoracoscopic surgical procedures, and thoracoscopically assisted cardiotomy procedures. The system can also be employed, with adjunctive mediastinotomy to perform coronary anastomosis during cardiac revascularization. It is intended for use by trained physicians in an operating room environment in accordance with the representative specific procedures set forth in the Professional Instructions for Use.
Device Description
This special 510(k) is being submitted for a modification to the endoscopic instruments to incorporate monopolar electrosurgical capability on an endoscopic curved scissor instrument. This modification affects the instrument only and there are no changes in the design, technology, materials, manufacturing, performance, specifications, and method of use for the da Vinci® Surgical System. The endoscopic instruments are used with the da Vinci® Surgical System which consists of two integrated sub-systems as follows: Intuitive Surgical® Endoscopic Instrument Control System: This subsystem is comprised of the Surgeon Console and Patient Side Cart. While seated at the Surgeon Console, the surgeon controls critical aspects of the procedure, including movement of the endoscopic instruments and endoscope, within the operative field. Endoscopic instrument and camera movements are controlled by the surgeon through use of the Master Tool Manipulators (MTM), two hand operated mechanisms residing within the Surgeon Console. The endoscopic instruments are held in a fixed position (with respect to the patient) by either two (or optionally three) unique arms known as Patient Side Manipulators (PSM), which are located on the Patient Side Cart (PSC). The endoscope is also held in a fixed position (with respect to the patient) by another arm, similar to the PSM, known as the Endoscope Camera Manipulator (ECM) and also located on the PSC. Commands from the Surgeon Console are relayed to the PSC, which is located immediately adjacent to the patient, via cables. Instrument and endoscope changes are performed by another provider positioned adjacent to the PSC. Intuitive Surgical® Stereo View Endoscopic System: The endoscopic vision system used with the da Vinci® Surgical System, also known as Intuitive Surgical Insite™ Vision System, consists of a stereo endoscope, endoscopic camera, and various accessories, including a light source and light guides. The Insite™ Vision System provides two independent images that are relayed to the viewer located in the Surgeon Console, where they are fused to form a 3-D (or alternatively a 2-D image) image of the surgical field.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a surgical robotic system that provides instrument control and stereo vision. While it involves complex control systems and image processing for 3D visualization, there is no mention of AI or ML being used for tasks like image analysis, decision support, or autonomous control. The modification described is specifically for adding monopolar electrosurgical capability to an existing instrument.

No
The device is described as an Endoscopic Instrument Control System and Endoscopic Instruments used during surgical procedures to assist in accurate control, rather than directly providing therapy.

No

Explanation: The device, the Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic Instrument Control System, is described as being "intended to assist in the accurate control of Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic Instruments" for surgical procedures, including grasping, cutting, and suturing. It is a tool for performing surgical interventions, not for diagnosing conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly outlines a complex system involving hardware components like the Surgeon Console, Patient Side Cart, manipulators, endoscope, camera, and accessories. The submission is for a modification to a physical instrument (endoscopic curved scissor) to add monopolar electrosurgical capability. While software is undoubtedly involved in controlling this system, the device itself is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical system designed to assist in the control of endoscopic instruments for manipulating tissue within the patient's body during surgical procedures. This is an in vivo application, not an in vitro (outside the body) diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical system with a surgeon console, patient side cart, and endoscopic instruments used for surgical manipulation and visualization. There is no mention of analyzing samples of human origin (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide diagnostic information.
  • No mention of diagnostic testing: The text focuses entirely on the surgical function of the device, not on diagnosing diseases or conditions.

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's function is entirely surgical.
