Intended Use
The EnSeal® Vessel Sealing and Hemostasis System is a bipolar electrosurgical instrument for use with an electrosurgical generator. It is intended for use during open and laparoscopic, general and gynecologic surgery to cut and seal vessels, cut, grasp and dissect tissue during surgery. Indications for use include open and laparoscopic general and gynecological surgical procedures (including urologic, thoracic, plastic and reconstructive, bowel resections, hysterectomies, cholecystectomies, gall bladder procedures, Nissen fundoplication, adhesiolysis, oophorectomies, etc.), or any procedure where vessel ligation (cutting and sealing), tissue grasping and dissection is performed. The devices can be used on vessels up to (and including) 7 mm and bundles as large as will fit in the jaws of the instruments. The SurgRx EnSeal® Vessel Sealing and Hemostasis System has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures. Do not use this system for these procedures.

More Information

No
The summary describes a standard bipolar electrosurgical instrument and generator, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is used to cut and seal vessels and dissect tissue during surgery, which are surgical tools or accessories rather than devices providing therapy for a disease or condition.

No

The EnSeal® system is described as a surgical instrument used to cut, seal, grasp, and dissect tissue during surgery, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a bipolar electrosurgical instrument for use with an electrosurgical generator, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • EnSeal System Function: The EnSeal® Vessel Sealing and Hemostasis System is a surgical instrument used during surgery to cut and seal vessels and manipulate tissue within the body. It directly interacts with the patient's tissues during a procedure.

The description clearly indicates its use in surgical procedures on the patient, not for testing samples in a lab.

Dear Ms. Oleson:

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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
