Intended Use
The Aquamantys3 9.5 XL Bipolar Sealer is a single use, sterile, bipolar device intended to be used in conjunction with the Aquamantys3 Pump Generator for delivery of radio-frequency (RF) energy and saline for blunt dissection and for haemostatic sealing and coagulation of soft tissue and bone at the operative site. It is intended for, but not limited to, open abdominal, orthopaedic, and thoracic surgery. The device is not intended for contraceptive tubal coagulation (permanent female sterilization).
Device Description
The Aquamantys3 9.5 XL Bipolar sealer represents a line extension to the predicate Aquamantys 9.5 XL Bipolar Sealer (cleared as the Double Cone Bipolar Sealer in K101057) and the Aquamantys product family. Similar to the predicate devices, it is a sterile, single-use hemostatic sealing device. The device employs bipolar radio-frequency (RF) energy and saline for blunt dissection and for hemostatic sealing and coagulation. The device is equipped with a dual electrode tip with saline apertures at its distal end. Saline and RF energy are supplied to the device from lines on the proximal end of the handpiece and connection to the Aquamantys3 Pump Generator via the distally attached cassette interface.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a device that uses RF energy and saline for hemostasis and dissection, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes

The device is intended for "haemostatic sealing and coagulation of soft tissue and bone at the operative site," which describes a therapeutic action to treat bleeding during surgery.

No

This device is described as a "bipolar device intended to be used... for blunt dissection and for haemostatic sealing and coagulation of soft tissue and bone." Its function is therapeutic (to stop bleeding and dissect tissue), not diagnostic (to identify or characterize a medical condition).

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single use, sterile, bipolar device" and a "sterile, single-use hemostatic sealing device" that employs "bipolar radio-frequency (RF) energy and saline". This indicates a physical hardware component, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of disease.
  • Device function: The Aquamantys3 9.5 XL Bipolar Sealer is a surgical device used during surgery for blunt dissection and hemostatic sealing and coagulation of soft tissue and bone. It directly interacts with the patient's tissues at the operative site.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical application, not the analysis of specimens taken from the body.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument or device used for therapeutic and hemostatic purposes during surgery, not an IVD.

Device Description

The Aquamantys3 9.5 XL Bipolar sealer represents a line extension to the predicate Aquamantys 9.5 XL Bipolar Sealer (cleared as the Double Cone Bipolar Sealer in K101057) and the Aquamantys product family. Similar to the predicate devices, it is a sterile, single-use hemostatic sealing device. The device employs bipolar radio-frequency (RF) energy and saline for blunt dissection and for hemostatic sealing and coagulation. The device is equipped with a dual electrode tip with saline apertures at its distal end. Saline and RF energy are supplied to the device from lines on the proximal end of the handpiece and connection to the Aquamantys3 Pump Generator via the distally attached cassette interface.

The modified single-use disposable accessory device, the Aquamantys3 9.5 XL Bipolar Sealer, is similar to the Aquamantys 9.5 XL Bipolar Sealer such that both devices provide concurrent delivery of bipolar RF energy with saline. The two devices share identical handpiece, shaft and tip configurations and differ only in how they connect to their respective, designated generators. The cord of the predicate Aquamantys 9.5 XL Bipolar Sealer terminates in a standard three-prong electrical connector and has saline tubing that is manually loaded as an additional step into the peristaltic pump. The cord of the proposed Aquamantys3 9.5 XL Bipolar Sealer terminates in a cassette that is designed to uniquely insert into the Aquamantys3 Pump Generator, providing simultaneous connection to both RF power and the peristaltic pump. This cassette interface is part of the predicate Aquamantys3 6.0 Bipolar Sealer device.
