Intended Use
The Endoscopic Linear Cutting Staple Use Loading Units have applications in general, gynecologic, pediatric and thoracic surgery for resection, and creation of anastomoses. They may be used for transection and resection of liver substance, hepatic vasculature and biliary structures.
Device Description
The proposed devices, Endoscopic Linear Cutting Staplers with Single Use Loading Units (SULU), are sterilized and disposable surgical instruments, which have applications in general, gynecologic, pediatric and thoracic surgery for resection, transection of anastomoses. They may be used for transection and resection of liver substance, hepatic vasculature and billiary structures. It places four or six rows of titanium staples and simultaneously divides the tissue from central line. The Endoscopic Linear Cutter Staplers can be adapted for all of the SULU sizes available, and they may be reloaded and fired no more than 10 times in a single procedure. The SULU has two configurations: (1) Straight SULU and (2) Articulating SULU, each of them has various specifications.

No
The document describes a mechanical surgical stapler and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is a surgical stapler used for cutting and stapling tissues, which is a surgical tool, not a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as a surgical instrument used for resection, transection, and creating anastomoses, placing staples, and dividing tissue. This falls under therapeutic or surgical functions, not diagnostic ones which involve identifying or characterizing a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical surgical instrument (stapler) with disposable loading units, not a software-only product.

Based on the provided information, 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 diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that this device is a "sterilized and disposable surgical instrument" used for "resection, transection of anastomoses" and placing staples. This is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures in various specialties, involving the cutting and stapling of tissue. This is a therapeutic or procedural use, not a diagnostic one based on analyzing specimens.

The device's function is to physically manipulate tissue during surgery, which is fundamentally different from the purpose of an IVD.
