Intended Use
The ENSEAL® G2 Tissue Sealers are indicated for bipolar coagulation and mechanical transection of tissue during laparoscopic and open procedures. The devices are bipolar electrosurgical instruments for use with an electrosurgical generator. They are intended for use during open or laparoscopic, general and gynecological surgery to cut and seal vessels, and to cut, grasp and dissect tissue during surgery. Indications for use include open and laparoscopic, general and gynecological surgical procedures (including urologic, thoracic, plastic and reconstructive, bowel resections, hysterectomies, cholecystectomies, gall bladder procedures, Nissen fundoplication, adhesiolysis, oophorectomies, etc.), or any procedure where vessel ligation (cutting and sealing), tissue grasping and dissection is performed. The devices can be used on vessels up to (and including) 7 mm and bundles as large as will fit in the jaws of the instruments. The ENSEAL® G2 Tissue Sealers have not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures. Do not use these devices for these procedures.
Device Description
The Ethicon Endo-Surgery ENSEAL G2 Tissue Sealers are for bipolar coagulation and mechanical transection of tissue during laparoscopic and open procedures. The devices allow the surgeon to grasp, coagulate, and transect soft tissue with a single instrument. The devices are hand-actuated with a shaft and tissue effector that can be rotated. The energy delivery can be activated with hand activation or with a foot switch.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a bipolar electrosurgical instrument for cutting and sealing tissue, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as an electrosurgical instrument for cutting and sealing tissue during surgery, which is a surgical tool rather than a therapeutic device.

No

This device is designed for therapeutic purposes, specifically for bipolar coagulation and mechanical transection of tissue during surgical procedures, not for identifying or investigating the nature or cause of a disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a hand-actuated instrument with a shaft and tissue effector, indicating it is a physical hardware device used for surgical procedures.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "bipolar coagulation and mechanical transection of tissue during laparoscopic and open procedures." This describes a surgical instrument used on the patient's body during a procedure.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. The ENSEAL G2 Tissue Sealers do not perform such tests.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument for grasping, coagulating, and transecting tissue, not a device for analyzing biological samples.

The device is a surgical instrument used in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in glass or outside the body).

Indications for Use:

The ENSEAL G2 Tissue Sealers are indicated for bipolar coagulation and mechanical transection of tissue during laparoscopic and open procedures.

The devices are bipolar electrosurgical instruments for use with an electrosurgical generator. They are intended for use during open or laparoscopic, general and gynecological surgery to cut and seal vessels, and to cut, grasp and dissect tissue during surgery.

Indications for use include open and laparoscopic, general and gynecological surgical procedures (including urologic, thoracic, plastic and reconstructive, bowel resections, hysterectornies, cholecystectomies, gall bladder procedures. Nissen fundoplication, adhesiolysis, oophorectomies, etc.), or any procedure where vessel ligation (cutting and sealing), tissue grasping and dissection is performed. The devices can be used on vessels up to (and including) 7 mm and bundles as large as will fit in the jaws of the instruments.

The ENSEAL G2 Tissue Sealers have not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures. Do not use these devices for these procedures.

The predicate devices were submitted as part of a surgical system; thus, the Indications for Use statements cleared in the predicate submissions did not contain indication language specific to the function of the electrosurgical instruments except for those included in the labeling. Additionally, the electrosurgical energy type (bipolar) and means of transection (mechanical) were added to the Indications for Use statement for the subject devices. This additional information was added for clarity. These differences in the indications for use do not alter the intended surgical effects or intended use of the subject devices from that of the predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics: The Ethicon Endo-Surgery ENSEAL G2 Tissue Sealers incorporate the same technological characteristics as that of the predicate devices with an ergonomic handle and an integrated energy activation/knife release button. Additionally, a change was made to a patient contacting material of the 3 mm jaw version of the subject devices.

Performance Data: Bench testing and laboratory evaluations in an animal model including an acute and a 30-day chronic survival study were conducted to demonstrate that the Ethicon Endo-Surgery ENSEAL G2 Tissue Sealers perform as intended.
