Intended Use
The DePuy Mitek VAPR Electrodes for use with the VAPR System are intended for resection, ablation and excision of soft tissue, hemostasis of blood vessels and coagulation of soft tissue in patients requiring arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, ankle, elbow, and wrist.
Device Description
The VAPR Electrodes with Handcontrol are similar in technological characteristics, geometry and materials, as their predicated except they will now be available with integrated handcontrol capabilities via three buttons mounted on the existing one-piece handles. These buttons control ablation, coagulation and the generator mode functions. The plug of the electrode is designed to fit the VAPR VUE generator (K100638: June 18, 2010) socket only and houses the components for ID recognition. They are intended to be run only off the VAPR VUE platform at pre-determined default settings specific for the device. If required, the settings for the device can be modified within safe pre-determined limits by accessing the generator or footswitch control in addition to the buttons on the handpiece. There are no changes being made to the fundamental technology of the electrode with the exception of the addition of handcontrol functionality.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the addition of hand controls and compatibility with an existing generator, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is used for medical procedures (resection, ablation, excision, hemostasis, coagulation) which aim to treat medical conditions, fitting the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is intended for "resection, ablation and excision of soft tissue, hemostasis of blood vessels and coagulation of soft tissue," which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly details physical components (electrodes, handles, buttons, plug) and performance testing related to these physical components (handle separation, handle retention, fluid ingress). It is an electrosurgical device with hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "resection, ablation and excision of soft tissue, hemostasis of blood vessels and coagulation of soft tissue in patients requiring arthroscopic surgery." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details an electrosurgical electrode used in conjunction with a generator. This is a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is to perform surgical procedures.

All of the electrodes which are the subject of this submission have the same Indications for Use and technology characteristics. The change to these electrodes is the addition of handcontrol capability which uses the same fundamental technology as the CP90 Electrode and VAPR footswitch.

In addition, safety and performance testing have been done to validate the performance and safety of the device. It has been demonstrated that the addition of handcontrol capability to their predicate electrodes will not affect safety and effectiveness of the subject devices.

Verification of the VAPR Electrodes with handcontrols includes performance testing to show that the device meets its product specifications. Results of performance testing are summarized in Table 1.

Safety and Performance

No clinical studies are required to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the device in support of an application for premarket clearance. The VAPR Electrodes with handcontrols do not differ from the predicate device in fundamental scientific technology or intended use.

Conclusion

Results of performance and safety testing have demonstrated that the modified device is suitable for its intended use.

Based on the indications for use, fundamental scientific technology, and comparison to the predicate devices, the VAPR Electrodes with handcontrols which are the subject of this submission are shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

Dear Ms. Kagan:

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. 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 corply 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 Of K F at 607), aboning (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
