Intended Use
The Reprocessed Hot Biopsy Forceps are intended to be used for endoscopic tissue sample acquisition, controlled coagulation/cautery, and sessile polyp removal in the gastrointestinal tract.
Device Description
The device consists of a proximal handle containing an electrosurgical plug which is connected, via a coil, spring or rod mechanism, to the biopsy cup or alligator forceps at the distal tip. The biopsy forceps range from 160 to 240 cm in length and 2.2-2.5 mm in diameter. The jaws range from 2.2 to 2.5 mm in diameter. The cup forceps may or may not have serrated edges, a fenestration, needle, or distal biting tooth. The forceps are covered with a sheath of electrical insulation. The electrosurgical plug on the handle used for connection to the appropriate electrosurgical unit. This submission does not include the electrosurgical box that the forceps connect to or its associated connecting cable.

No
The description focuses on mechanical and electrical components for tissue acquisition and cautery, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes.
The device performs procedures such as tissue sample acquisition, controlled coagulation/cautery, and sessile polyp removal, all of which are considered therapeutic interventions in the gastrointestinal tract.

No

The device is used for tissue sample acquisition, coagulation/cautery, and polyp removal, which are interventional or therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a handle, electrosurgical plug, coil/spring/rod mechanism, biopsy cup/alligator forceps, and a sheath of electrical insulation. This indicates a hardware-based medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is used for "endoscopic tissue sample acquisition, controlled coagulation/cautery, and sessile polyp removal in the gastrointestinal tract." This is a device used within the body for surgical and tissue collection procedures.
  • Lack of Testing: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the device and its function in collecting tissue and performing cautery. There is no mention of using the collected tissue for in vitro testing or analysis.

The device is a surgical instrument used for procedures within the gastrointestinal tract, not for performing diagnostic tests on samples outside the body.

Trade Name:Reprocessed Hot Biopsy Forceps
Classification Name:
and Number:Electric Biopsy Forceps
Class II, 21 CFR 876.4300
Product Code:NLU
Predicate Device(s):The reprocessed hot biopsy forceps are substantially
equivalent to: "Thermal Option" Hot Biopsy Forceps
(K932790), manufactured by Ballard (formerly Cox); "The
Shark" Hot Biopsy Forceps manufactured by Wilson-Cook
(K923470); "Radial Jaw" Hot Biopsy Forceps (K860366),

Forceps (K905088), manufactured by Bard (formerly
ESCO).
Device Description:The device consists of a proximal handle containing an
electrosurgical plug which is connected, via a coil, spring
or rod mechanism, to the biopsy cup or alligator forceps at
