Intended Use
The ESTECH Cobra Bipolar II System is intended for the coagulation of soft tissue during general surgery. The system may also be used to coagulate blood and soft tissue to produce hemostasis.
Device Description
The ESTECH Cobra Bipolar System is designed to guide RF energy to the target tissue via electrodes in the jaws of a surgical clamp style device. RF energy is delivered in a bipolar mode, with one jaw of the device as the ablative electrode and the other jaw as the indifferent electrode.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard RF energy delivery system for tissue coagulation and hemostasis, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The device is intended for coagulation and hemostasis during surgery, which are surgical procedures, not therapeutic treatments for a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as an RF energy delivery system for coagulation and hemostasis during surgery, not for identifying or diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "surgical clamp style device" with "electrodes in the jaws," indicating it is a hardware device that delivers RF energy.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the coagulation of soft tissue during general surgery and to coagulate blood and soft tissue to produce hemostasis. This is a therapeutic and surgical function performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device uses RF energy delivered via electrodes in a surgical clamp to achieve coagulation. This is a physical intervention on tissue.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.

The ESTECH Cobra Bipolar II System is a surgical device used for treatment and intervention, not for analyzing samples outside the body to provide diagnostic information.

e. Comparison to Predicate Device

The ESTECH Cobra Bipolar II System is identical in indications for use, technology, manufacture, packaging and sterilization to the predicate ESTECH Cobra Bipolar System (K053100).

There are small design differences between the application and predicate devices. These design differences (rotatable jaws, single use clamp) provide a convenience for the physician, but do not alter the performance profile seen in the predicate device.

ESTECH concludes that the ESTECH Cobra Bipolar II System is substantially equivalent to the predicate ESTECH Cobra Bipolar System.

f. Summary of Supporting Data

The bench testing supplied in Section 18 demonstrates that the joints and other mechanical aspects of the design of the ESTECH Cobra Bipolar II System are adequate for use. Additionally, the data demonstrates that the performance of the ESTECH Cobra Bipolar II System electrodes is equivalent to that of the predicate.

The patient contacting materials of the ESTECH Cobra Bipolar II System have been demonstrated to be biocompatible, in accordance with ISO 10993: Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, and the safety of the electrical design is in conformance with the pertinent sections of IEC 60601-2-2: Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-2: Particular requirements for the safety of high frequency surgical equipment.
