The description focuses on mechanical and electrical components for smoke evacuation and filtration, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
The device's intended use is to remove surgical smoke and aerosols, which is a safety and environmental mitigation during surgical procedures, rather than directly treating a disease or condition in a patient.
No
The device is designed to remove surgical smoke, aerosols, and odors, which is a treatment/mitigation function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a vacuum motor, tubing, and a filter, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.
Based on the provided information, the CONMED Aer Defense™ Smoke Evacuator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "remove smoke, aerosols and mitigate odors produced by surgical smoke during electrosurgical procedures." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure to manage the environment, not a device used to test samples in vitro (outside the body) for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical process of drawing and filtering surgical smoke. It does not mention any analysis of biological samples or diagnostic testing.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information
- Using reagents or assays
- Measuring biomarkers
The device's function is purely related to air purification and smoke removal during surgery, which falls under the category of surgical support equipment, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The CONMED Aer Defense™ Smoke Evacuator has been designed with a high suction, high flow rate, two-stage thru flow vacuum motor. Its motor is used to draw the surgical smoke from the surgical site, through the vacuum tubing and into the CONMED Aer Defense™ Smoke Evacuator's filter where the surgical smoke is processed by a series of filtration stages. A single disposable filter is used to simplify the installation and removal during filter changes.
The filter for the Aer Defense™ Smoke Evacuator, like the filters for the predicate devices, is a replaceable self-contained filter that is completely enclosed to help protect the health care personnel from potential contamination during filter changes. The FilterOne™ is an Ultra Low Penetration Air (ULPA) grade with carbon filter that has a filter efficiency of 99.9995% for particle sizes of 0.12um or greater. These characteristics are identical to the predicate filters.

Technological Characteristics
Smoke Evacuator:
The CONMED Aer Defense™ Smoke Evacuator has been designed with a high suction, high flow rate, two-stage thru flow vacuum motor. Its motor is used to draw the surgical smoke from the surgical site, through the vacuum tubing and into the CONMED Aer Defense™ Smoke Evacuator's filter where the surgical smoke is processed by a series of filtration stages. A single disposable filter is used to simplify the installation and removal during filter changes.
Filter:
The filter for the Aer Defense™ Smoke Evacuator, like the filters for the predicate devices, is a replaceable self-contained filter that is completely enclosed to help protect the health care personnel from potential contamination during filter changes. The FilterOne™ is an Ultra Low Penetration Air (ULPA) grade with carbon filter that has a filter efficiency of 99.9995% for particle sizes of 0.12um or greater. These characteristics are identical to the predicate filters.
The filter life for the FilterOne™ is based on the flow rate through the filter and is 35 hrs in Lap Mode, and 10 hrs at maximum flow in Normal Mode. The filter life for the

predicate devices is based on time of use and is 8 hrs maximum. Bench testing has shown that the filter life for the Aer Defense™ Smoke Evacuator is substantially equivalent to the predicate filters based on bench testing.
Suction Flow Rate:
The maximum suction flow rate for the Aer Defense™ Smoke Evacuator ranges from a maximum 20 LPM in Laparoscopic Mode to 25 CFM in Normal Mode and is substantially equivalent to the flow range of 20 LPM in Normal Mode and 34 CFM in Boost Mode for the predicate devices, K924732 and K053464.

indicates that the electrical safety for the Aer Defense™ Smoke Evacuator is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, K924732 and K053464.
Modes of Operation:
Normal Mode - Normal mode is the default activation mode. The smoke evacuator will run in this mode when none of the available modes have been selected and illuminated on the control panel (Laparoscopic, Continuous, Automatic, or Footswitch). While in Normal Mode, the smoke evacuator will start suction upon activation from an ESU. The Normal Mode is substantially equivalent to the Normal Mode and Boost Mode in predicate devices, K924732 and K053464.
Laparoscopic Mode - This mode is designed to provide a low flow suction control range for use in minimally invasive procedures. Laparoscopic mode is controlled by Normal, ConMed ESU Automatic, Footswitch, or Continuous activation modes. The Laparoscopic Mode is substantially equivalent to the Laparoscopic Mode and the Normal Mode in predicate devices K053464 and K924732 respectively.
Footswitch Mode - This mode starts suction upon activation of the Pneumatic Footswitch only. The smoke evacuator can be turned on or off by depressing the footswitch once to turn suction on and once again to turn suction off. This mode functions the same as the Footswitch Mode for the predicate devices, K924732 and K053464.
Continuous Activation Mode - This mode runs the smoke evacuator at the selected power level continuously, without activation of the Handpiece, until the mode has been deselected, another mode is selected, or the unit is turned off. This operating mode is not available in the predicate devices.
Electrical and Software Verification bench testing has shown this mode to be as safe and effective as the normal operation of the device and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, K924732 and K053464.
ConMed ESU Automatic Mode - This mode starts suction upon Handpiece activation from either a ConMed System 5000 or System 2450 ESU. The smoke evacuator will also employ automatic adjustments of the flow level based on the ConMed ESU power usage. This operating mode is not available in the predicate devices.
Electrical and Software Verification bench testing has shown this mode to be as safe and effective as the normal operation of the device and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, K924732 and K053464.
Integrated Operating Room Interface Mode - This mode allows the smoke evacuator front panel controls to be set through the devices serial port by an integrated operating room control center. This operating mode is not available in the predicate devices,

Electrical and Software Verification bench testing has shown this mode to be as safe and effective as the normal operation of the device and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, K924732 and K053464.
Biocompatibility:
The CONMED® Aer Defense™ Smoke Evacuator and the predicate devices do not contact the patient and are substantially equivalent regarding biocompatibility.
Indication for Use:
The CONMED® Aer Defense™ Smoke Evacuator is designed to remove smoke, aerosols and mitigate odors produced by surgical smoke during electrosurgical procedures. This indication is substantially equivalent to the indications of the predicate devices. K924732 and K053464.
Summary:
The Electrical, Mechanical, Software, and Safety testing indicate that the CONMED Aer Defense Smoke Evacuator is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices identified in K924732 and K053464.
