Intended Use
The Auto Suture™ ENDO GIA™ Staplers have applications in abdominal, gynecologic, pediatric and thoracic surgery for resection, transection and creation of anastomoses. It may be used for transection and resection of liver substance, hepatic vasculature and biliary structures.
Device Description
The Auto Suture™ ENDO GIA™ Stapler places two, triple- staggered rows of titanium staples and simultaneously divides the tissue between the two, triple-staggered rows. The size of the staples is determined by the selection of the 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm 3.5 mm or 4.8 mm single-use loading unit (SULU). The ENDO GIA™ Stapler will accommodate any of the single-use loading units that are available in 30 mm, 45 mm and 60 mm sizes.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of a surgical stapler and does not mention any AI/ML components or capabilities.

No
The device is a surgical stapler used for resection, transection, and creation of anastomoses, which are surgical procedures, not therapeutic treatments in themselves, but rather tools used during surgical interventions.

No
This device is a surgical stapler used for resection, transection, and creation of anastomoses, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical surgical stapler with various hardware components (staples, loading units) and mentions in-vivo animal tests, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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 stapler used for in-vivo procedures (within a living organism) like resection, transection, and creation of anastomoses in various surgical specialties.
  • Device Description: The device description details a surgical instrument that places staples and divides tissue during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, tissue, etc.) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a surgical tool used directly on the patient during a procedure.
