The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical aspects of the device, including ultrasonic generation, power control, irrigation, and a microprocessor for basic control and supervision. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that suggest learning, adaptation, or complex pattern recognition. The control parameters are manually set by the operator.
No
The device is described as an ultrasonic surgical system for cutting bone, which is an interventional surgical tool, not a therapeutic device designed for treatment.
No
The device description clearly states its purpose is for "cutting bone, osteotomy, osteoplasty and drilling" using "ultrasonic surgical system consisting of handpieces and associated tips." This describes a surgical tool, not a device used for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a base control unit, handpiece, tips, torque wrench, foot-pedal, and irrigation set. While it has a touch panel and microprocessor, it is fundamentally a hardware-based surgical system.
Based on the provided information, the Piezosurgery FLEX is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "cutting bone, osteotomy, osteoplasty and drilling in variety of surgical procedures" performed directly on a patient.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical system that uses ultrasonic energy to mechanically cut bone. It involves a handpiece, tips, and a control unit, all designed for use during surgery.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (in glass, or outside the body) to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. The Piezosurgery FLEX is a surgical tool used in vivo (in the body) to perform physical procedures on bone.

Device Description
Piezosurgery FLEX is a piezoelectric ultrasonic device that uses ultrasonic energy to generate mechanical micro-vibration of tip inserts intended for bone cutting. The device consists of a base control unit with intearated peristaltic pump, a sterilizable handpiece with connecting cord, a range of sterile, single use tip inserts, a torque wrench, a foot-pedal, an irrigation set, and other minor attachments.
The console is equipped with a touch panel that allows the surgeon to control device operation. The control panel also provides monitoring information, by one icons, in case of malfunction of the device. Inside the console are located the ultrasonic generator, the electrical power supply module and the micro-processor electronic board that controls and supervises the functional parameters of the device. The console is connected to mains power by an electrical cord, and includes connectors for the handpiece and for the foot-pedal. The console incorporates a peristaltic pump which provides, through the irrigation tubing set, a sterile fluid supply to the surgical site. Ultrasonic power and irrigation flow to the handpiece are simultaneously activated by pressing the foot-pedal. The handpiece contains a piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer which attaches to the generator (inside the console) by a cable at one end of the handpiece. Tip inserts are attached to the other end of the handpiece.
The touch panel of the console allows the operator to set the treatment parameters, as follows:
- Seven levels of power: .
- Six levels of irrigation: .
- Three ultrasonic output modes; .
- · The pump function.
The Piezosurgery FLEX uses piezoelectric ultrasonic technology to generate mechanical microvibrations of the tip insert connected to the handpiece, the piezoelectric transducer converting the electrical voltage supplied by the ultrasonic generator into mechanical energy that induces vibration of the tip insert at the resonant frequency of the tip insert.

The control panel also provides monitoring information, by means icons, in case of malfunction of the device. Inside the console are located the ultrasonic generator, the electrical power supply module and the micro-processor electronic board that controls and supervises the functional parameters of the device.

Technological characteristics:
The technological characteristics of the Piezosurgery Flex are very similar or identical to the predicate devices. Piezosurgery FLEX offers a simpler, lower cost alternative to the predicate devices, however, having a single peristaltic pump and handpiece instead of the two pumps and handpieces that are included with the predicate
devices. Piezosurgery FLEX also offers users three output modes instead of the four modes available in the
predicate devices. For the user interface, Piezosurgery FLEX has a touch panel, whereas the predicate devices incorporate an LCD touch screen. The operational ultrasonic frequency range has been extended in Piezosurgery FLEX to 24 - 36 kHz, from 24 - 29.5 kHz in one predicate device and approximately 28 kHz in the other predicate device. The footswitch in one predicate device offers a wider range of operational options that in Piezosurgery FLEX.
None of these technological differences between Piezosurgery Flex and the predicate devices has any significant effect on the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.
