More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical tissue grasper with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis of data.

No
The device is used for grasping and mobilizing tissue during surgical procedures, not for treating a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The g-Lix Tissue Grasper is described as a tool for "tissue grasping and mobilization," not for detecting, identifying, or monitoring medical conditions. Its function is to facilitate physical manipulation of tissue during minimally invasive procedures.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of physical components like a proximal rotation knob, shaft, and distal helix tip, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "tissue grasping and mobilization" during minimally invasive procedures. This is a surgical tool used on the patient, not a device used to test samples from the patient in a lab setting.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical tool with a shaft and tip for manipulating tissue. This aligns with a surgical instrument, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

IVDs are used to perform tests on samples to gain information about a patient's health status. This device is used to physically manipulate tissue within a patient during a procedure.

§ 884.1720 Gynecologic laparoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A gynecologic laparoscope is a device used to permit direct viewing of the organs within the peritoneum by a telescopic system introduced through the abdominal wall. It is used to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures on the female genital organs. This generic type of device may include: Trocar and cannula, instruments used through an operating channel, scope preheater, light source and cables, and component parts.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for gynecologic laparoscope accessories that are not part of a specialized instrument or device delivery system, do not have adapters, connector channels, or do not have portals for electrosurgical, lasers, or other power sources. Such gynecologic laparosope accessory instruments include: the lens cleaning brush, biopsy brush, clip applier (without clips), applicator, cannula (without trocar or valves), ligature carrier/needle holder, clamp/hemostat/grasper, curette, instrument guide, ligature passing and knotting instrument, suture needle (without suture), retractor, mechanical (noninflatable), snare, stylet, forceps, dissector, mechanical (noninflatable), scissors, and suction/irrigation probe. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 884.9.
