Intended Use
The TX1 Tissue Removal System is intended for use as an Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator of soft tissue. The TX1 Tissue Removal System is indicated for use in surgical procedures where fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration of soft tissue are desirable, including General Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Laparoscopic Surgery and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Device Description
The TX 1 Tissue Removal System is an ultrasonic surgical aspirator that emulsifies and removes soft tissue. The system consists of a console, ultrasonic handpiece, and foot pedal. The console provides control over the four user functions including irrigation, aspiration, cutting, and coagulation. It has a large, color LCD and employs a touch-screen for selection of required settings. The console provides audible tones for confirmation of selections. The console also houses the irrigation and aspiration pumps, thereby eliminating the need for a dedicated service cart or suction/waste source within the operating room. The console provides a connection for a commercially available cautery pencil or forceps. Two USB ports and one Ethernet port are available for loading software upgrades. The ultrasonic handpiece connects to the console for power, as well as for delivering irrigation fluid directly to the surgical site and for removing emulsified tissue by way of integrated tubing set. The handpiece is constructed from various polymers and metals, while the tubing is made of biomedical grade PVC. The handpiece and tubing are provided sterile. The handpiece is a single use disposable component of the system. Irrigation fluid is delivered under pressure to the surgical site by operation of an air pump residing in the console. The regulated output of the air pump pressurizes a cuff that is fitted around the irrigating fluid bag, thus providing irrigation at a fixed pressure regardless of the height of the fluid bag. The foot pedal is used to control each of the four functions (irrigation, aspiration, ultrasonic fragmentation/emulsification, coagulation) of the system. It offers on/off functionality and is rated IPX5 (by the supplier) for protection against liquids.
More Information

No Reference Device(s) K/DEN number found.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical functions of an ultrasonic surgical aspirator and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is used for surgical removal of tissue, not for therapeutic treatment of conditions or diseases.

No

The device is described as an "Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator" intended for fragmenting, emulsifying, and aspirating soft tissue during surgical procedures. Its functions (irrigation, aspiration, cutting, coagulation) are all therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a console, ultrasonic handpiece, and foot pedal, in addition to software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is for the surgical removal of soft tissue through fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is an ultrasonic surgical aspirator used to physically remove tissue during surgery. It involves a console, handpiece, and foot pedal for controlling surgical functions like irrigation, aspiration, cutting, and coagulation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue biopsies) to provide information about a person's health status. This device does not perform any such tests on samples. It is used for direct surgical intervention.

The device is clearly designed for use during surgical procedures on a patient, not for analyzing samples in vitro (outside the body).
