More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgical system using bipolar technology for arthroscopic procedures, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes.

The device is intended for resection, ablation, excision, hemostasis, and coagulation of soft tissues, which are all therapeutic interventions during arthroscopic surgery.

No

The device is an electrosurgical system intended for therapeutic actions like resection, ablation, excision, hemostasis, and coagulation of soft tissues, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the system includes a generator, electrodes, and accessories, indicating it is a hardware-based electrosurgical system, not software-only.

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 system is for "resection, ablation, excision of soft tissue, hemostasis of blood vessels and coagulation of soft tissues in patients requiring arthroscopic surgery." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an "electrosurgical system" that utilizes bipolar technology for surgical treatments. This further reinforces its use in a surgical setting.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any interaction with patient specimens or diagnostic purposes.

The device is a surgical tool used for treating tissues within the body, not for analyzing samples outside the body for diagnostic purposes.

Clinical TestingNo clinical studies are required to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the
device in support of an application for premarket clearance. The VAPR
System and Electrodes, when used for hip arthroscopic surgeries, do not
differ from the predicate devices in fundamental scientific technology.
ConclusionResults of safety and performance and testing have demonstrated that the
modified device is suitable for its intended use.

Based on the indications for use and fundamental scientific technology, the
VAPR System, along with the VAPR Electrodes are shown to be appropriate
for arthroscopy of the hip as well as substantially equivalent to the
predicate devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. |
