The document describes a standard electrosurgical instrument with integrated mechanical and electrical functions, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
Yes.
The device is used to perform surgical procedures for therapeutic purposes (ligation of vessels, electrical dissection).
No
Explanation: The device is an electrosurgical instrument for tissue fusion, dissection, and vessel sealing, not for diagnostic purposes. Its intended use is surgical intervention, not disease identification or measurement.
No
The device description clearly details a physical, electrosurgical instrument with a handle, shaft, jaws, mechanical knife, and electrode. It is a hardware device that connects to a generator.
Based on the provided text, the Valleylab LigaSure Advance™ is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
- Device Function: The Valleylab LigaSure Advance™ is a surgical instrument used during surgical procedures to seal and divide vessels and tissue, and to perform electrical dissection. It directly interacts with tissue within the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "general and gynecological, laparoscopic, surgical procedures where ligation of vessels... is desired." This is a surgical intervention, not an in vitro examination of specimens.
The device is an electrosurgical instrument used for therapeutic purposes during surgery, not for diagnostic testing of samples outside the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Valleylab LigaSure Advance™ is a 5mm laparoscopic, electrosurgical instrument that incorporates both monopolar and LigaSure™ tissue fusion (bipolar) functionality. It is intended for use with the Valleylab ForceTriad™ energy platform (electrosurgical generator)in general and gynecological, laparoscopic, surgical procedures where ligation and division of vessels, including lymph vessels, is desired. The monopolar feature of the instrument will be used where electrical dissection through tissue planes and creation of enterotomies or gastrotomies is desired.
The LigaSure function of the instrument creates a seal by the application of RF electrosurgical energy to vascular structures interposed between the jaws of the instrument. The sealed vessels and other tissue structures may be divided by the deployment of a mechanical knife that will reside within the shaft of the instrument and extends forward in a slot within the jaws.
Indications for use include general and gynecological, laparoscopic surgical procedures (including urologic, vascular, thoracic and thoracoscopic) where electrosurgical ligation and division of vessels, including lymph vessels, is performed. These procedures include: laparoscopic qastric bypass, laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectorny, Nissen fundoplication, laparoscopic colectorny, adhesiolysis, oophorectomy, etc.
The Valleylab LigaSure Advance™ can be used on vessels up to and including 7mm diameter and tissue bundles as large as will fit in the jaws of the instrument.
The Valleylab LigaSure Advance™ has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coaqulation for sterilization procedures, and should not be used for these procedures.

Device Description
The LigaSure Advance™ is a 5mm laparoscopic vessel sealer and divider with integrated monopolar capability for energy-based dissection. The Valleylab LigaSure Advance™ is for use only with the Valleylab ForceTriad™ energy platform (electrosurgical generator), reference 510(k) notification K051644. The device will be offered in two lengths, 34 cm and 44 cm.
The LigaSure Advance™ device will be used to seal vessels, including lymph vessels, up to and including 7mm in diameter and tissue bundles. The sealed vessels and other tissue structures may be divided by the deployment of a mechanical knife that will reside within the shaft of the instrument and extends forward in a slot within the jaws when actuated by a mechanism residing within the handle of the device.
The monopolar capabilities of the device will be used to electrically dissect through tissue planes and to create openings in bowel (enterotomies) and stomach (gastrotomies). This is accomplished through a small electrode that protrudes from the distal end of one of the jaws of the device.
The controls for the device are all located on the handle. The instrument attaches to the generator with "smart" connectors, that identify the instrument type to the LigaSure generator, and a ten (10) foot cable. The instrument is supplied sterile for single-use.
