Intended Use
The SONOCA Lipo is an instrument indicated for selected ultrasound dissection, liquefaction, emulsifying and aspiration of soft tissues in General Surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and Gynecological Surgery applications. It is also indicated for the liquefaction and aspiration of localized subcutaneous fatty tissue for aesthetic body contouring.
Device Description
SONOCA Lipo™ is a modified version of the SONOCA 300 cleared by FDA under K992026 and can be used in two ways: 1. As an ultrasonic dissector / aspirator as in the SONOCA 300 to cut, irrigate, and suction at the surgical site and 2. As an alternative to conventional Lipectomy because it is a combination of a standard Lipectomy suction device and an Ultrasound assisted Lipectomy for the selective dissection of human fatty tissue. The SONOCA Lipo™ can be trolley mounted or a desktop unit consisting of an ultrasonic generator, an infiltration pump and an aspiration pump. The nodular build of the electronic components allow the unit to function at a high capacity, totally free of electronic maintenance.
More Information

No
The summary describes a device that uses ultrasonic technology for surgical procedures and lipectomy. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components. The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical aspects of the device.

Yes
The device is used for medical procedures involving the dissection, liquefaction, emulsifying, and aspiration of soft tissues, as well as for aesthetic body contouring involving fatty tissue. These are therapeutic interventions aimed at treating or modifying the body.

No

The device is an instrument for surgical procedures involving the dissection, liquefaction, emulsifying, and aspiration of soft tissues, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a physical unit consisting of an ultrasonic generator, infiltration pump, and aspiration pump, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside the body (in vitro).
  • SONOCA Lipo Function: The description clearly states that the SONOCA Lipo is an instrument used for "ultrasound dissection, liquefaction, emulsifying and aspiration of soft tissues" and "liquefaction and aspiration of localized subcutaneous fatty tissue." This is a surgical procedure performed on the body (in vivo), not a test performed on a specimen taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical applications in General Surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and Gynecological Surgery, as well as aesthetic body contouring. These are all in-vivo procedures.

Therefore, the SONOCA Lipo is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

SONOCA Lipo™ is a modified version of the SONOCA 300 cleared by FDA under K992026 and can be used in two ways:

  1. As an ultrasonic dissector / aspirator as in the SONOCA 300 to cut, irrigate, and suction at the surgical site and
  2. As an alternative to conventional Lipectomy because it is a combination of a standard Lipectomy suction device and an Ultrasound assisted Lipectomy for the selective dissection of human fatty tissue.

The SONOCA Lipo™ is not an alternative to conventional surgery but a supplementary tool which provides an advantage for the selective dissection of human tissue.

The advantage of the SONOCA is that the tissue selectivity of the ultrasonically induced cutting effect limits the spectrum to organs with a large proportion of parenchyma in which sustentacular tissue is only minimally developed

During the use of an ultrasonic dissector, power is transmitted from a longitudinal vibrating probe tip in the contact zone to tissue. The probe with the integrated aspiration/irrigation function collects the cell and tissue fragments.

The SONOCA Lipo™ can be trolley mounted or a desktop unit consisting of an ultrasonic generator, an infiltration pump and an aspiration pump. The nodular build of the electronic components allow the unit to function at a high capacity, totally free of electronic maintenance.

§ 878.5040 Suction lipoplasty system.

(a)
Identification. A suction lipoplasty system is a device intended for aesthetic body contouring. The device consists of a powered suction pump (containing a microbial filter on the exhaust and a microbial in-line filter in the connecting tubing between the collection bottle and the safety trap), collection bottle, cannula, and connecting tube. The microbial filters, tubing, collection bottle, and cannula must be capable of being changed between patients. The powered suction pump has a motor with a minimum of1/3 horsepower, a variable vacuum range from 0 to 29.9 inches of mercury, vacuum control valves to regulate the vacuum with accompanying vacuum gauges, a single or double rotary vane (with or without oil), a single or double diaphragm, a single or double piston, and a safety trap.(b)

510(k) Summary of Safety & Effectiveness

(as required by 21 CFR 807.92c)

The SONOCA Lipo™ is not an alternative to conventional surgery but a supplementary tool which provides an advantage for the selective dissection of human tissue.

The advantage of the SONOCA is that the tissue selectivity of the ultrasonically induced cutting effect limits the spectrum to organs with a large proportion of parenchyma in which sustentacular tissue is only minimally developed

During the use of an ultrasonic dissector, power is transmitted from a longitudinal vibrating probe tip in the contact zone to tissue. The probe with the integrated aspiration/irrigation function collects the cell and tissue fragments.

The SONOCA Lipo™ can be trolley mounted or a desktop unit consisting of an ultrasonic generator, an infiltration pump and an aspiration pump. The nodular build of the electronic components allow the unit to function at a high capacity, totally free of electronic maintenance.

Indications for Use:

The SONOCA Lipo™ is an instrument indicated for selected ultrasound dissection, liquefaction, emulsifying and aspiration of soft tissues in General Surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and Gynecological Surgery applications. It is also indicated for the liquefaction and aspiration of localized subcutaneous fatty tissue for aesthetic body contouring. Typical users of this system are trained medical professionals.

Performance Data:

The subject and predicate devices have been designed and tested to pass the following Voluntary Standards: UL 260 1-1 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Safety EN 60601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Safety EN 60601-1-2:1993 Electromagnetic Compatibility and FGC Part 18 EMC Requirement. The subject device complies with IEC 950 - Safety of Information Technology Equipment, CISPR 22, class A -- Electromagnetic Compatibility, IEC-801-2, IEC-801-3 - Electromagnetic Compatibility, IEEE 1003 . - General Pelectrical Safety for medical devices, IEC 601-1 -Electrical Safety for medical devices using RFpower, IEC 601-2-2- Ultrasonic surgical devices, DIN EN 61847

Conclusion:

Similar to the predicate devices, the SONOCA Lipo™ does not control any life sustaining functions or services. The new device and the predicate devices share the same conformance to performance standards and both function as Ultrasonic Dissectors. Based on the information supplied in this 510(k), we conclude that the subject device is safe, effective, and substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
