Intended Use
The EC 2.7 Endoscopic Cutter is a single use electrosurgical instrument designed to be used with flexible bronchoscopes and qualified electrosurgical units. It is indicated for cutting of soft tissue obstructions in upper airways and tracheobronchial tree, and provision of electrosurgical hemostasis during such procedures.
Device Description
The EC 2.7 Endoscopic Cutter is a disposable, single-patient-use monopolar RF (radio-frequency) surgical endotherapy device intended to be inserted through the working channel of a flexible bronchoscope. The EC 2.7 Endoscopic Cutter is terminally sterilized via ETO. It is comprised of a separately packaged, cylindrically shaped, disposable monopolar cutting and coagulation electrode affixed to the distal end of a polymeric, flexible multi lumen shaft , and a separately packaged, single-patient-use, electrical adaptor with cabling, intended for connection to the monopolar output port of a Covidien® Corporation, ValleyLab™ Force FX™ or FX-C Electrosurgical Generator. The ValleyLab™ Force FX™ was cleared to market via 510(k) K944602.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the electrosurgical mechanism and physical components, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used for cutting soft tissue obstructions and providing hemostasis in the upper airways and tracheobronchial tree, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is described as an electrosurgical instrument for cutting soft tissue obstructions and providing hemostasis, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components such as an electrode, shaft, and electrical adaptor, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The EC 2.7 Endoscopic Cutter is an electrosurgical instrument used for cutting and providing hemostasis directly on tissue within the upper airways and tracheobronchial tree. It is a surgical tool, not a test performed on a sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "cutting of soft tissue obstructions" and "provision of electrosurgical hemostasis," which are surgical procedures.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical instrument with an electrode and cabling for connection to an electrosurgical generator, consistent with a surgical device.

Therefore, the EC 2.7 Endoscopic Cutter is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Leighton:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. 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 comply 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
