Intended Use
Diamond-Flex® Graspers and Dissectors are designed to transmit grasping force through delicate working tips in both minimally invasive and open surgical procedures.
Device Description
Each Diamond-Flex® Grasper and Dissector is comprised of a handle assembly, an elongate shaft and a 'distal end' which comprises a segmented flexible portion and the end-effector or jaw pattern.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function and design of the grasping and dissecting tools, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies are also focused on mechanical properties.

No
The device is described as a surgical instrument (graspers and dissectors) used to transmit grasping force, not to treat or diagnose a disease or condition. Its intended use is to aid in surgical procedures.

No
The device, Diamond-Flex® Graspers and Dissectors, is described as transmitting grasping force for surgical procedures. It is an instrument designed for manipulation during surgery, not for diagnosing conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a handle assembly, elongate shaft, and distal end with a segmented flexible portion and end-effector/jaw pattern, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is designed for "transmitting grasping force through delicate working tips in both minimally invasive and open surgical procedures." This describes a surgical instrument used on a patient during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical tool with a handle, shaft, and end-effector (jaws). This is consistent with a surgical instrument, not a device used to test samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, tissue, urine, etc.) to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for medical purposes. This device is a surgical tool used directly in a surgical procedure.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.

(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. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
