Device Description
The Symmetry Kerrison Disposable Tip Rongeurs are manually operated instruments, provided with a non-sterile reusable handle and a set of sterile, disposable tips, indicated for cutting bony tissue of the spine. They represent a design modification to the predicate devices, the Codman Kerrison Laminectomy Rongeurs and the Integra Kerrison Rongeurs, introducing disposable tips to the device. The Symmetry Kerrison Disposable Tip Rongeurs handles are comprised of stainless steel, and operate with a cup and ball assembly for smooth motion of the footplate when the handle is squeezed. The handles and disposable tips are provided in various sizes to help provide the surgeons with more options.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description explicitly states it is a "manually operated instrument" and the performance studies focus on mechanical properties like cut testing, foot load plate testing, cycle testing, and corrosion resistance. There is no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data sets for training/testing.

No
The device is a surgical instrument for cutting bony tissue. While used in a medical context, it is not used to treat or cure a disease or condition, which is characteristic of therapeutic devices.

No

This device is a surgical instrument used for cutting bony tissue, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a manually operated instrument with a reusable handle and disposable tips made of stainless steel, indicating it is a physical hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Symmetry Kerrison Disposable Tip Rongeurs are described as manually operated instruments used for cutting bony tissue of the spine. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not an examination of a specimen outside the body.

The information provided clearly indicates this is a surgical instrument, not a diagnostic device.

Device Description: The Symmetry Kerrison Disposable Tip Rongeurs are manually operated instruments, provided with a non-sterile reusable handle and a set of sterile, disposable tips, indicated for cutting bony tissue of the spine. They represent a design modification to the predicate devices, the Codman Kerrison Laminectomy Rongeurs and the Integra Kerrison Rongeurs, introducing disposable tips to the device.

The Symmetry Kerrison Disposable Tip Rongeurs handles are comprised of stainless steel, and operate with a cup and ball assembly for smooth motion of the footplate when the handle is squeezed. The handles and disposable tips are provided in various sizes to help provide the surgeons with more options.

Intended Use: The Symmetry Kerrison Disposable Tip Rongeurs are indicated for cutting bony tissue in the area of the spine. This intended use is similar to that of our predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics: The technological characteristics of the proposed device are similar or the same as those of the predicate devices. The design modification introduces disposable tips to the device providing the surgeon with a disposable option while assuring the sterility and sharpness of the tips. This design modification does not impact the safety and effectiveness of the device. The Symmetry Kerrison Disposable Tip Rongeurs are substantially equivalent to their predicate devices Codman Kerrison Laminectomy Rongeurs and Integra Kerrison Rongeurs. Substantial equivalence is based on intended use, performance characteristics, materials, and principle of operation.

Performance Data (Nonclinical and/or Clinical): Performance testing consisting of cut testing, foot load plate testing, cycle testing and corrosion resistance demonstrates the proposed devices perform according to its description and intended use and supports the safety and effectiveness of the device. The Symmetry Surgical Disposable Tip Rongeurs conform to their design specifications and are substantially equivalent to the commercially distributed devices for the same intended use.

Dear Ms. Binkley:

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.
