Device Description
Each single use SILSTM Hand Instrument contains a pistol grip, a rigid shaft with an articulating and rotating end effector, and opposing jaws or an electrocautery hook at the distal end. The clincher, dissector, grasper, and shears contain opposing jaws to manipulate tissue, and the dissector, L-hook, and shears administer electrocautery. The end effector of each instrument articulates when the handle is deflected relative to the shaft and rotates when a rotation wheel is turned.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical articulation and electrosurgical capabilities, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
These devices are surgical instruments designed for manipulating tissues, grasping, clamping, cutting, and applying monopolar cautery during endoscopic, gynecological, and general laparoscopic procedures. They are tools used by surgeons, not devices that provide therapy or treatment to the patient.

No

The device description and intended use clearly state that these instruments are for manipulating, grasping, cutting, or cauterizing tissues during surgical procedures. They are interventional tools, not used for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a pistol grip, rigid shaft, articulating end effector, jaws, and an electrocautery hook, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that these devices are surgical instruments used within the body during laparoscopic procedures for tasks like grasping, clamping, dissecting, cutting, and applying cautery. They are manipulating tissues and structures in vivo, not analyzing samples in vitro.

The text focuses on the physical manipulation of tissues and the application of energy (cautery) during surgery, which are characteristic of surgical instruments, not IVDs.

(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.
