The description focuses on a thermal cutting and cauterization mechanism, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.
No.
This device is used for surgical cutting and cauterization, which are procedures performed during therapy (surgery), but the device itself is not a therapeutic agent or method that treats a disease or condition. It is a surgical tool.
No
The device is described as a surgical instrument for cutting and cauterization of soft tissue during surgery, not for identifying or diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical, handheld surgical instrument with heating elements and a handle, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "simultaneous cutting and cauterization of soft tissue during surgery" and "cutting of natural or synthetic, non-metallic, sutures during surgery." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a "single use, handheld surgical instrument" that uses heat to cut and cauterize tissue. This is a surgical tool used in vivo (within the living body).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the living body) to provide information about a patient's health status. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens.
Therefore, the Starion Instruments Thermal Ligating Shears are a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Starion Instruments Thermal Ligating Shears are a single use, handheld surgical instrument intended for simultaneous cutting and cauterization of soft tissue during surgery.
The Starion Instruments Thermal Ligating Shears allow the surgeon to position the distal jaws of the instrument around the region of tissue to be cut/cauterized. While squeezing the handle, the surgeon depresses a switch, which activates heating element(s) in the jaws. This heat is conducted to the tissue between the jaws to provide cutting/cauterization.

Summary - 510(k) Subject:
Starion Instruments Thermal Ligating Shears Product:
Summary:
This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness data is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of 21 CFR 807.92.
The Starion Instruments Thermal Ligating Shears are a single use, handheld surgical instrument intended for simultaneous cutting and cauterization of soft tissue during surgery. The Food and Drug Administration has classified electrosurgical cutting and coagulating devices as Class II devices (21 CFR 878.4400).
The Starion Instruments Universal Thermal Ligating Shears are substantially equivalent in terms of intended use, target population, energy source, and principles of operation to the Starion Instruments Thermal Cautery Grasper/Dissector, a legally marketable predicate device which has been granted marketing clearance via K002547.
The Starion Instruments Thermal Ligating Shears allow the surgeon to position the distal jaws of the instrument around the region of tissue to be cut/cauterized. While squeezing the handle, the surgeon depresses a switch, which activates heating element(s) in the jaws. This heat is conducted to the tissue between the jaws to provide cutting/cauterization.

Dear Mr. Grisby:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
