Intended Use
The Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic Instrument Control Systems (da Vinci S and da Vinci Si Surgical Systems Models IS1200, IS2000, IS3000) are intended to assist in the accurate control of Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic EndoWrist Instruments and Accessories including rigid endoscopes, blunt and sharp endoscopic dissectors; scissors, scalpels, ultrasonic/harmonic shears; forceps/pick-ups, needle holders, endoscopic retractors, stabilizers, electrocautery and accessories for endoscopic manipulation of tissue, including grasping, cutting, blunt and sharp dissection, approximation, ligation, electrocautery, suturing, delivery and placement of microwave and cryogenic ablation probes and accessories, during urologic surgical procedures, general laparoscopic surgical procedures, gynecological laparoscopic surgical procedures, transoral otolaryngology surgical procedures restricted to benign and malignant tumors classified as T1 and T2, general thoracoscopic surgical procedures, and thoracoscopically-assisted cardiotomy procedures. The system can also be employed with adjunctive mediastinotomy to perform coronary anastomosis during cardiac revascularization. The system is indicated for adult and pediatric use (except for transoral otolaryngology surgical procedures). It is intended to be used by trained physicians in an operating room environment in accordance with the representative. specific procedures set forth in the Instructions for Use.
Device Description
The Monopolar Curved Scissors Tip Cover Accessory is an electrically isolating sleeve that is placed over the distal tip of the Monopolar Curved Scissors. The Tip Cover Accessory acts to isolate the metal parts of the instrument so that only the intended electrode (the scissor blades) is exposed for surgical application.

No
The summary describes a simple accessory (a tip cover) for a surgical instrument and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The focus is on electrical isolation and substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

No

The description explicitly states "The Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic Instrument Control Systems... are intended to assist in the accurate control of Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic EndoWrist Instruments and Accessories..." This indicates the device is an instrument for surgical procedures, not a therapeutic device designed to treat a condition itself.

No

Explanation: The device is described as assisting in the control of surgical instruments for manipulation of tissue during surgical procedures. There is no mention of it being used for diagnosis or detection of diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Monopolar Curved Scissors Tip Cover Accessory," which is an electrically isolating sleeve placed over a physical instrument. This is a hardware component, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical system and accessories used for manipulating tissue during surgical procedures on patients. This is an in vivo application (within a living organism).
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on a surgical instrument accessory (a tip cover for scissors) used in a surgical setting.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body 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 body, not to directly perform procedures on the body itself.

§ 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.
