Intended Use
Designed to grasp, manipulate and coagulate selected tissue for single use in general surgical procedures. These forceps can be sold with or without irrigation and are provided sterile. They are connected through a suitable bipolar cable with the bipolar output of an electrosurgical generator and irrigation module. Stingray Ultralite Disposable Irrigation Forceps can be used with bipolar coagulation current. Coagulation is achieved using electrosurgical energy generated by the electro surgical generator unit and activated by a footswitch. The Stingray Ultralite Disposable Irrigation Forceps have not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures and should not be used for these procedures.
Device Description
These devices are disposable bipolar forceps design for single use in general surgical procedures. They are connected through a suitable birolar cable with the bipolar output of an electrosurgical generator. The forceps are designed to grasp and manipulate, or irrigate selected tissues. The semi rigid irrigation tube is designed to carry nonpyrogenic fluid through the instrument and outputted to the tip end. Coagulation is achieved using electrosurgical energy generated by the electrosurgical generator unit and activated by a footswitch. They are constructed of stainless steel, a nylon coating, and a non-stick alloy tip. The devices are provided sterile ethylene oxide (ETO) and in sterile packs.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical functions of the forceps for grasping, manipulating, and coagulating tissue using electrosurgical energy. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is designed to coagulate selected tissue using electrosurgical energy, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is designed to grasp, manipulate, and coagulate tissue using electrosurgical energy, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (forceps, cable, irrigation tube, stainless steel, nylon coating, non-stick alloy tip) and their function in a surgical procedure involving electrosurgical energy. This is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is used to "grasp, manipulate and coagulate selected tissue for single use in general surgical procedures." This is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's tissue during a procedure.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any samples or specimens taken from the body. Its function is to interact with tissue in situ.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is a surgical instrument, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Stingray Ultralite Disposable Irrigation Forceps were designed and manufactured to the same specifications as Stingray Electrosurgical Forceps K083162, which have been subject to bench and standards testing indicating the device is safe and effective. They have been designed to meet or exceed ANSI/AAMI HF18-2001 and IEC 60601-2-2:2006 voluntary standards. Since the new device is manufactured by the same company in the same way as the new device, it is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
