Intended Use
The Power Linear Cutter Reusable Digital Loading Units® with Reloads have applications for general and endoscopic surgery in gastrointestinal, gynecological, general abdominal, and thoracic surgical procedures for resection, transection, creation of anastomoses, and for open occlusion of the heart's left atrial appendage.
Device Description
The device described here is a Power Linear Cutter Reusable Digital Loading Unit® with Reloads used in gastrointestinal, gynecological, thoracic, bariatric and other surgeries for resections, transactions and the creation of anastomoses. The Power Linear Cutter Reusable Digital Loading Unit® cuts and staples identically to the predicate device (K040720). The Power Linear Cutter Reusable Digital Loading Unit® has a rigid extension, allowing for more surgeon control of the Digital Loading Unit®. The remote control functions have been integrated into a hand piece at the end of the rigid shaft. These functions include an open, close and fire button. The integrated remote control buttons function identically to the SurgASSIST® Remote Control Unit buttons, which enable the surgeon to open, close and fire the predicate DLUs. The hand piece on the Power Linear Cutter Reusable Digital Loading Unit® has a proximal quick connect that connects to the distal end of the FlexShaft. The non-steerable FlexShaft serves as the conduit between the DLU and the Power Console.

No
The description focuses on mechanical and digital control features, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities like image processing, data analysis for decision support, or adaptive behavior based on data.

No.
This device is an surgical instrument used for cutting and stapling tissue, not for treating a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is a surgical cutting and stapling tool used for resection, transection, and creation of anastomoses, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like a rigid extension, hand piece, quick connect, and FlexShaft, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated controls, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical device used for cutting, stapling, and creating connections (anastomoses) within the body during surgical procedures. This is a direct intervention on the patient's anatomy.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument with mechanical functions (cutting, stapling, opening, closing, firing) and a power source. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples outside of the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, tissue, urine, or any other biological sample in vitro (outside the living body) to provide diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device performs a surgical action directly on the patient.
