The summary describes a family of standard laparoscopic surgical instruments (forceps, scissors, probes) used with monopolar electrosurgery. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities. The performance studies focus on physical, mechanical, and biocompatibility testing, not algorithmic performance.
No.
The device is described as surgical instruments (forceps, scissors, and probes) used for electrosurgical cutting and coagulation in laparoscopic procedures, which are tools used during a therapeutic procedure but are not therapeutic in themselves.
No
The device is described as an instrument used in surgical procedures for cutting and coagulation, not for diagnosing conditions or diseases. Its performance studies focus on mechanical and biocompatibility tests, not diagnostic accuracy.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like handles, shafts, tips, and connectors, indicating it is a hardware device used in surgical procedures.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "general laparoscopic surgical procedures requiring the use of Monopolar electrosurgical cutting and/or coagulation." This describes a surgical tool used directly on a patient during a procedure.
- Device Description: The description details surgical instruments like forceps, scissors, and probes used for cutting and coagulation. These are physical tools for surgical intervention.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with such specimens in this manner.
The information provided consistently points to a surgical device used in vivo (within the living body), not an in vitro diagnostic device used to test samples outside the body.

Device Description
The Unimax Laparoscopic Instrument includes Grasping Forceps, Monopolar Scissors, and Monopolar Probe/Electrodes. The devices are disposable, single use, individually packaged devices that are composed of biocompatible materials. Scissors and forceps have a handle with rotating wheel attached to an insulated shaft with different tips, which allows the shaft and tip to rotate. They include a male cautery connector when attached to standard monopolar cautery cables and their generators. Probes/Electrodes have an insulated shaft with a thermally conductive metal tip electrode. The proximal end of the shaft is attached to a handle made of an injection molded, medical grade plastic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A series of in vitro and in vivo preclinical physical, mechanical and biocompatibility tests were performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Unimax Laparoscopic Instrument. The comparative performance testing was conducted on the subject device and the predicate device including the items listed below:
- Drop Testing
- · Bending Test
- Pulling Test
- · Torque Test
- · Jaw Clamping Test
- · Blade Sharpness Test
- Arcing Test
- · Charring Test
- · Thermal Spread Test
All the test results demonstrate the performance of Unimax Laparoscopic Instrument meets the requirements of its pre-defined acceptance criteria and intended uses.
The results of the non-clinical testing demonstrate that the Unimax Laparoscopic Instrument is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
The result of bench testing indicates that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.

Dear Mr. Lee:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act
6
or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
