Intended Use
The Weck Reusable Obturator is indicated for use with appropriate disposable Weck Vista cannulas in thoracic, abdominal, and gynecologic minimally invasive surgical procedures to provide a pathway for the introduction of endoscopic surgical devices.
Device Description
The Weck® Reusable Obturator is used to establish penetration into the abdominal cavity during laparoscopic surgical procedures. When used with the appropriate corresponding disposable cannula, the system creates a port of entry into the patient, facilitating the access of various diameter devices, while maintaining insufflation at the surgical site. The obturator is positioned into the peritoneum as a guide to the corresponding cannula during minimally invasive surgical procedures, and then is removed in order to provide a pathway for the insertion and removal of various sized surgical devices. The Weck® Reusable Obturator is intended to be used by trained physicians.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a mechanical surgical instrument (obturator) used for creating access ports. There is no mention of any computational or analytical functions, let alone AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" fields are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device facilitates surgical procedures by providing access, rather than directly treating a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is described as an obturator used to establish penetration into the abdominal cavity and provide a pathway for surgical devices; it does not collect information about the patient's health or diagnose any condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, reusable obturator used in surgical procedures, which is a hardware component. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

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.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the Weck Reusable Obturator is a surgical instrument used to create a pathway into the body during minimally invasive procedures. It is a tool for accessing the surgical site, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide a pathway for surgical devices, not to diagnose or test for any condition.

Therefore, the Weck Reusable Obturator falls under the category of a surgical instrument, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The bench testing has been performed to verify that the performance of the proposed Weck® Resuable Obturator is substantially equivalent to the predicate obturators and that the Weck® Reusable Obturator is seamlessly interchangeable with the predicate obturator.
Based upon the comparative test results, the proposed Weck® Reusable Obturator is substantially equivalent in performance to the predicate devices cleared to market via 510(k) K010007 and K082156. The modifications made to the Weck® Reusable Obturator do not introduce any new issues of safety and effectiveness. IFU updates have been integrated according to ISO 17664:2004, Sterilization of Medical Devices, to ensure appropriate cleaning and sterilization instructions for reusable devices, by the end user.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Dear Ms. Kornegay:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of October 11, 2012.

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 (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.

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 device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
