More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a surgical instrument (hot shears) for cutting and coagulation, focusing on its compatibility with existing robotic surgical systems and its equivalence to a predicate device. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms.

Yes
The device is used to cut and coagulate tissue during surgery, which directly treats the patient.

No

The device is an endoscopic instrument used for cutting and coagulation of tissue during surgery, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "endoscopic instrument" and a "single-use disposable endoscopic tool," indicating it is a physical 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 "endoscopic cutting and coagulation of tissue during surgery." This describes a surgical tool used on the patient's body during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it's an "endoscopic instrument" and a "surgical tool."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information. IVDs are used to diagnose diseases or conditions, monitor treatments, or screen for health issues by examining biological samples.

This device is a surgical instrument used for performing a procedure, not for diagnosing or analyzing samples.

Device Description

This 510(k) is being submitted for an endoscopic instrument, the EndoWrist One Hot Shears Instrument, to be used with the Intuitive Surgical da Vinci and da Vinci S Surgical Systems. The Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist® instrument family currently consists of resposable endoscopic tools including the predicate EndoWrist® Monopolar Curved Scissors Instrument. The subject Hot Shears instrument has the same intended use as the Monopolar Curved Scissors but is a single-use disposable endoscopic tool.

This Intuitive Surgical instrument will be compatible with the previously cleared da Vinci and da Vinci S Endoscopic Instrument Control Systems Models IS1200 and IS2000.

The EndoWrist One Hot Shears Instrument is identical in shape, function, activation, and use as the predicate reusable Monopolar Curved Scissors instrument. Specific design and material changes were made in order to create a functionally equivalent instrument intended only for a single surgical procedure. Additionally, the trade name has been updated from EndoWrist to EndoWrist One to hight the single-use characteristic of the new instrument.

The overall scissor shape and size of the Hot Shears are essentially identical to that of the Monopolar Curved Scissors. The proximal housing and chassis have the same physical dimensions as the predicate instrument, but are provided with a different color scheme and labeling to aid in identification.

The predicate Monopolar Curved Scissors instrument uses a sterile removable and disposable Tip Cover accessory which insulates the clevis portion of the distal instrument tip. This Tip Cover is provided as an accessory sciparate from the instrument. The subject Hot Shears incorporates a Tip Cover with the same function and insulating material directly into its assembly and the user receives the sterile instrument with the tip cover already in place on the distal tip.

The single-use Hot Shears Instrument is compatible for use with all electrosurgical generators already cleared for use with the reusable Monopolar Curved Scissors instrument.

The Hot Shears instrument interfaces with the da Vinci and da Vinci S surgical systems in an identical manner to the reusable instruments. Both reusable EndoWrist instruments and the single use Hot Shears are assigned a specific number of working lives, and the lives are decremented in exactly the same manner by the da Vinci Systems. The Hot Shears are assigned only one life, and the systems will not recognize the instrument after that one life is expired, ensuring that it cannot be used again with the da Vinci This is identical to the manner in which a reusable systems. instrument expires.

The EndoWrist One Hot Shears is provided to the customer sterile and packaged in a sealed tray and outer carton. The predicate Monopolar Curved Scissors is provided non-sterile, and the user is responsible for cleaning and sterilizing the instrument prior to each use.

Labeling updates for the Hot Shears Instrument consist of new instrument housing markings, new tray and box labeling and a new Instructions For Use.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
