Intended Use
The autosuture™ Circular EEA™ Staplers have application throughout the alimentary tract for the creation of end-to-end, end-to-side and side-to-side anastomoses in both open and laparoscopic surgeries, including bariatric surgery.
Device Description
The autosuture™ Circular EEA™ family of staplers place a circular, double staggered row of titanium staples and resects the excess tissue, creating a circular anastomosis. They are indicated for use in the creation of anastomoses in various surgical procedures in both open and laparoscopic surgeries.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical surgical stapler and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is a surgical stapler used to create anastomoses, which is a structural connection, not for treating or alleviating disease or condition.

No
The device is a surgical stapler used to create anastomoses, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical surgical stapler, which is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the autosuture™ Circular EEA™ Staplers are surgical instruments used to create anastomoses (connections between two structures) within the alimentary tract during open and laparoscopic surgeries. They are used on the patient's body during a surgical procedure, not to test samples from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any testing of biological samples, analysis of biomarkers, or diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument or medical device used in vivo (within a living organism), not an in vitro diagnostic device.

TRADE/PROPRIETARY NAME: autosuture™ Circular EEA™ surgical staplers

COMMON/USUAL NAME: Implantable Staple

CLASSIFICATION NAME: Implantable Staple

PREDICATE DEVICE(S): autosuture™ Premium Plus CEEA™ Disposable Stapler (K024275)

DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The autosuture™ Circular EEA™ family of staplers place a circular, double staggered row of titanium staples and resects the excess tissue, creating a circular anastomosis. They are indicated for use in the creation of anastomoses in various surgical procedures in both open and laparoscopic surgeries.

INTENDED USE: The autosuture™ Circular EEA™ Staplers have application throughout the alimentary tract for the creation of end-to-end, end-to-side and side-to-side anastomoses in both open and laparoscopic surgeries, including bariatric surgery.

TECHNOLOGICAL The autosuture™ EEA™ stapler is identical to the predicate CHARACTERISTICS: device in terms of intended use and it operates in a similar manner as the predicate device. The only difference is a modification of the wire gauge diameter of the titanium staple.

MATERIALS: All components of the autosuture™ EEA™ stapler are comprised of materials which are in accordance with ISO Standard 10993-1.

PERFORMANCE DATA: In-vitro and in-vivo tests were performed to verify that the modified autosuture™ EEA™ stapler is substantially equivalent to the predicate device for use in the creation of anastomoses in various surgical procedures in both open and laparoscopic surgeries.

Dear Mr. Gianelli:

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.
