Intended Use
The Bovie® J-Plasma Handpiece with Retractable Cutting Blade is an electrosurgical device that utilizes helium gas and a retractable blade for cutting and coagulation of soft tissue for use during both open and laparoscopic surgical procedures.
Device Description
The Bovie® J-Plasma Handpiece with Retractable Cutting Tip are single use devices designed to be compatible only with the ICON GS generator (GS100) and reusable cable (GS-807-RC) cleared under 510k K-090586. There are device models for both open and laparoscopic surgical procedures (GS-018C and GS-270C respectively). These handpieces contain a programmable memory device that requires a unique code for the generator to operate. Each handpiece has a button for finger activation of the generator. Once activated, helium gas flows out the distal end of the device where gas molecules are excited by the high electric field resulting in a plasma stream. The handpiece that is intended for open procedures does not have an extended shaft. The handpiece intended for laparoscopic procedures has a 27 cm extended tip. Both handpieces contain a retractable cutting blade that can be extended manually for excising tissue.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgical device with a programmable memory device for compatibility, but no mention of AI or ML for decision-making, image analysis, or adaptive control.

Yes
The device is described as an electrosurgical device for cutting and coagulation of soft tissue, which directly indicates a therapeutic function.

No
The device description states its intended use is for "cutting and coagulation of soft tissue," which are treatment functions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details physical hardware components including a handpiece, retractable cutting blade, and compatibility with a generator and cable. While it mentions a "programmable memory device," this is part of the physical handpiece and not a standalone software product.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "cutting and coagulation of soft tissue for use during both open and laparoscopic surgical procedures." This describes a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details an electrosurgical device that uses helium gas and a retractable blade for surgical manipulation of tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor treatment, or screen for diseases.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples to provide information about a person's health status. This device is a surgical instrument used for direct intervention on tissue.

Dear Mr. Kozloff:

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 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.
