Intended Use
The gi 4000 Electrosurgery Generator is intended to deliver electrosurgical outputs to perform cutting and/or coagulation and coagulation with or without delivery of argon gas in flexible endoscopic applications. The integrated lavage pump is intended to wash tissue or mucosa within the gut when used in conjunction with washing catheters or bipolar endoscopic probes, endoscope water jet channels, or endoscope working channels. The Genii ArConnect™ Conducting Adapter is intended for use with the gi 4000 during argon assisted coagulation.
Device Description
The gi 4000 has seven monopolar outputs, a monopolar argon assisted coagulation output, and a bipolar output. Users make selections from a touch screen that displays stored default power setting start points, convenience and safety information, as well as indications as to current selection mode and return electrode monitoring status. The gi 4000 has an integrated peristatic lavage pump designed to provide lavage washing in the gut, either by accessories connected directly to endoscopes which have dedicated washing channels, or by accessories which introduce lavage fluid into the biopsy port of an endoscope or via dedicated washing channels incorporated into a therapeutic accessory such as a bipolar endostasis probe. The system is operated by a dual pedal footswitch which controls the lavage pump and power delivery. The argon output is designed for an argon assisted coagulation method. This method uses 99.99% pure argon gas to provide ionized RF arcs to the targeted tissue. The monopolar outputs are designed for cutting and coagulation methods. The unit is designed with a standard monopolar active cord receptacle (foot switch activated). Endoscopic accessories connect to the monopolar receptacle via a widely available detachable active cord accessory. Both the monopolar and argon outputs require the use of a patient return electrode (grounding pad) to return the RF energy from the patient back to the generator. The unit is designed with a standard GI bipolar single jack receptacle. No patient return electrode (grounding pad) is needed for bipolar methods. The output power of the argon, monopolar and bipolar methods are independently controlled through a touch panel LCD display located on the front panel of the generator. The argon gas for the argon output is exclusively supplied by the disposable Genii Argon Gas Canister. Each canister contains 49 liters of ultra-high purity (99.999% pure) argon gas (certified). When using the Argon Coagulation Method, the ArConnect is intended for single-use only and will be supplied as a non-sterile, disposable item. The ArConnect has been designed to allow the delivery of monopolar high frequency electrosurgical energy and argon gas to a single use argon coagulation probe sold separately. The ArConnect is supplied individually packaged in disposable packaging and is not to be reprocessed or re-used.

No
The document describes a standard electrosurgical generator with a lavage pump and argon gas delivery. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes.
The device is intended to deliver electrosurgical outputs to perform cutting and/or coagulation in flexible endoscopic applications, and also has an integrated lavage pump to wash tissue or mucosa, which are direct therapeutic actions.

No

The device is an electrosurgery generator and lavage pump, intended to deliver electrosurgical outputs for cutting and coagulation and to wash tissue. It performs therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly details hardware components such as an electrosurgery generator, lavage pump, touch screen, footswitch, and connections for accessories and patient return electrodes. While it mentions software verification and validation, the core functionality and description are centered around physical hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes performing electrosurgical procedures (cutting and coagulation) and lavage within the gut. These are direct interventions on the patient's body, not tests performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the electrosurgical generator, lavage pump, and accessories used for delivering energy and fluid directly to tissue. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any components or functions related to:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on sample analysis.

The device is an electrosurgical generator and lavage pump intended for therapeutic and procedural use within the body, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Biocompatibility Testing: Cytotoxicity, Irritation and Sensitization testing have been completed on the ArConnect Conducting Cable. The test results demonstrate that the ArConnect Conducting Cable is non-toxic.

Software Verification and Validation: Software verification and validation testing has been performed on the gi 4000 Electrosurgical Generator.

Safety and Effectiveness:

By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, and it can be demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and that the new device does not raise different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.

It has been shown in this 510(k) submission that the differences between the Genii gi 4000 Electrosurgical Generator and the predicate devices do not raise any questions regarding its safety and effectiveness. The Genii gi 4000 Electrosurgical Generator, as designed and manufactured, therefore is determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate devices.
