Yes
Explanation: The device is indicated for use in minimally invasive surgery for vessel harvesting and is designed to cut tissue and control bleeding through coagulation, which are therapeutic actions.
No
The device is described as an endoscopic vessel harvesting system used for cutting tissue, controlling bleeding through coagulation, and blunt dissection. Its purpose is for surgical procedures, not for identifying or diagnosing a disease or condition.
No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as a dissector, endoscope, and utilizes bipolar radio frequency (RF) energy, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the VirtuoSaph® Plus Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical device used in vivo (within the body) for minimally invasive surgery, specifically for harvesting blood vessels. IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical tool that uses RF energy for cutting and coagulation, and provides insufflation. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a diagnostic device that analyzes biological samples.
- Anatomical Site: The device is used on the extremities (saphenous vein, radial artery) within the patient's body.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies described involve animal studies, cadaver studies, and bench evaluations focused on surgical performance (dissection, harvesting, cauterization, sealing, etc.), not on the accuracy or reliability of diagnostic measurements from biological samples.
In summary, the VirtuoSaph® Plus Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System is a surgical device used during a procedure on a living patient, not a device used to perform tests on samples outside the body for diagnostic purposes.

Device Description
The VirtuoSaph® Plus device and the predicate VasoView 6 device each rely upon bipolar radio frequency (RF) energy to cauterize vessels that are to be harvested. For each of these two devices, the RF current is transmitted a cross two electrodes in order to effect the necessary cauterization/sealing of the tissue is oppropriated is positioned between the two electrodes.
With respect to cutting of the tissue, the VirtuoSaph® Plus device relies upon bipolar RF energy to effect separation, whereas the cutting process with the predicate Vaso View® 6 is achieved by a mechanical blade which slices through the tissue to effect separation.
The design of the VirtuoSaph® Plus device and the VasoView® 6 device are similar. Both devices are designed to harvest vessels from the human body that are deemed appropriate for subsequent use (i.e., bypass grafting). Both devices are designed to be used with pp epdoscope and both products are packaged without endoscope - as the endoscopes are commercially available separate from the vessel harvesting systems.
The VasoView® 6 device presents with a dissector tip that can be affixed to endoscope for tunnel dissection whereas the VirtuoSaph® Plus device presents a separate full-length dissector ror tonice (with integrated conical tip) which "houses" the endoscope during tunnel dissection.
Both devices utilize upon bipolar RF energy to coagulate vessels/branches during the harvesting of the vessel. Additionally, both devices are presented with the necessary bipolar connector/cord that will interface with the bipolar outlets of compatible generators.
The VirtuoSaph® Plus device and the VasoView® 6 device each provide CO2 insufflation to assist in the tunneling and harvesting of target vessels. Insufflation with the VirtuoSaph® device is accomplished from the distal position of the system tools for both dissection and harvesting procedures, whereas the VasoView® 6 device provides insufflation from the proximal handle position for the dissection procedure – and from the distal position of the harvester rod during the harvesting procedure.

Summary of Comparisons Between Subject and Predicate Devices:
This 510k Summary is intended to provide a brief presentation of the similarities and differences between the proposed VirtuoSaph® Plus device and the predicate VasoView 6 device. This summary will include a review of product indications, technology, design materials and product performance.
Intended Use/Indications for Use:
The subject VirtuoSaph® device shares common indications with the predicate VasoView® 6 device:
Proposed VirtuoSaph® Plus Indications:
The VirtuoSaph® Plus is currently indicated for use in minimally invasive surgery allowing access for vessel harvesting, and is primarily indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic surgery for arterial bypass. It is indicated for cutting tissue and contralling bleeding through coagulation, and for patients requiring blunt dissection of itssue including dissection of blood vessels and dissection of blood vessels of the extentises, The extremity procedures include tissue dissection and/or vessel havesting anoming the saphenous vein for coronary artery bypass grafting and peripheral artery bypass grafting.
Predicate VasoView 6 Indications:
The VasoView® 6 device is FDA-cleared for use in minimally invasive surgery allowing for access to vessel harvesting, and is primarily indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic surgery for arterial bypass. It is also indicated for putting times and controlling bleeding through coagulation, and for patients requiring blunt dissection of tissue including the dissection of blood vessels and blood vessels of the externities, dissection of ducts and other structures in the extraperitoneal or subcutaneous extremity and thoracic space. These extremity procedures include tissue dissention end vein harvesting along the saphenous vein (for use in coronary and peripheral artery bypass procedures), as well as harvesting of the radial artery for use in coronary artery bypass grafting. Additionally, thoroscopic procedures include exposure and dissettin of structures external to the parietal pleura, including nerves, blood vessels and other tissues of the chest wall.
A primary difference between these two product indications is that the predicate VasoView® 6 device is cleared for the harvesting of the radial artery for use in coronary artery bypass grifting. It is Terumo Cardiovascular System's intent to expand indications to include harvesting of the radial artery for use in coronary artery bypass grafting. No additional product indications are being pursued with this submission.

The logo consists of a circle with the letter "T" inside, followed by the word "TERUMO" in a bold, sans-serif font. Below the word "TERUMO" is the phrase "Cardiovascular Systems" in a smaller font. The logo is likely used to represent the company and its focus on cardiovascular products and services.
The proposed product indications for the VirtuoSaph® Plus Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System are:
The VirtuoSaph® Plus Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System is indicated for use in minimally invasive surgery allowing access for vessel harvesting, and is primarily indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic surgery for arterial bypass. It is indicated for cutting tissue and controlling bleeding through coagulation and for patients requiring blunt dissection of tissue including dissection of hylood vessels and dissection of blood vessels of the extremities. Extremity procedures include tissue dissection and/or vessel harvesting along the saphenous vein for coronary artery bypass grafting and peripheral artery bypass grafting or radial artery for use in coronary artery bypass grafting.
Product Technology:
The primary functions of most vessel harvesting systems include tissue cauterization and tissue dissection functions. This is also true for the VirtuoSaph® Plus device and the predicate VasoView 6 device. The subject VirtuoSaph® Plus device and the predicate VasoView 6 device each rely upon bipolar radio frequency (RF) energy to cauterize vessels that are to be harvested. For each of these two devices, the RF current is transmitted a cross two electrodes in order to effect the necessary cauterization/sealing of the tissue is oppropriated is positioned between the two electrodes.
With respect to cutting of the tissue, the VirtuoSaph® Plus device relies upon bipolar RF energy to effect separation, whereas the cutting process with the predicate Vaso View® 6 is achieved by a mechanical blade which slices through the tissue to effect separation. While this difference is recognized, Terumo Cardiovascular Systems conducted performance assessments to deremonstrate equivalence to the identified predicate device.
Design:
The design of the VirtuoSaph® Plus device and the VasoView® 6 device are similar. Both devices are designed to harvest vessels from the human body that are deemed appropriate for subsequent use (i.e., bypass grafting). Both devices are designed to be used with pp epdoscope and both products are packaged without endoscope - as the endoscopes are commercially available separate from the vessel harvesting systems.
The VasoView® 6 device presents with a dissector tip that can be affixed to endoscope for tunnel dissection whereas the VirtuoSaph® Plus device presents a separate full-length dissector ror tonice (with integrated conical tip) which "houses" the endoscope during tunnel dissection. The difference being that the conical shaped tip is an attachment component with the VasonView 6 device verses a fully assembled device with the subject VirtuoSaph® Plus device. There is no clinical relevance to this difference in tunnel dissection as either method safely and effectively accomplishes tunnel dissection.

The logo consists of a circle with the letter T inside, followed by the word "TERUMO" in a bold, sans-serif font. Below the word "TERUMO" is the phrase "Cardiovascular Systems" in a smaller, lighter font. The logo is simple and professional, and it is likely used to represent the company on its products and marketing materials.
Both devices utilize upon bipolar RF energy to coagulate vessels/branches during the harvesting of the vessel. Additionally, both devices are presented with the necessary bipolar connector/cord that will interface with the bipolar outlets of compatible generators.
The VirtuoSaph® Plus device and the VasoView® 6 device each provide CO2 insufflation to assist in the tunneling and harvesting of target vessels. Insufflation with the VirtuoSaph® device is accomplished from the distal position of the system tools for both dissection and harvesting procedures, whereas the VasoView® 6 device provides insufflation from the proximal handle position for the dissection procedure – and from the distal position of the harvester rod during the harvesting procedure. This difference is clinically insugnificant as insufflig the sufficiently accomplished with either device without adversely impacting clinical ontounnal.
Materials:
The materials that are used in the construction of the VirtuoSaph® Plus device and the Vaso View 6 device vary from component to component. While there are differences annong the materials of construction, these differences are not clinically relevant. Both devices have already been cleared by FDA with their respective materials of construction, and because the devices are being used in the manner for which they were cleared, there would be no issues of the safety or effectiveness with respect to materials. Furthermore, the would be in issues on the construction of the VirtuoSaph® Plus have satisfied all applicable biocompatibility requirements. It is concluded that while difference in materials do exist, these differences are not clinically relevant.
Performance Evaluations:
Terumo Cardiovascular Systems conducted performance studies with the VirtuoSaph® Plus Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System (with expanded radial harvest indication) - where a comparison was made to the predicate VasoView® 6 device. The studies were comparative in nature with the intent to demonstrate performance equivaleoce between the devices. The studies were also designed and conducted to ensure that the subject ViruoSaph® devices satisfies appropriate device performance specifications and to ensure that it satisfies customer needs. There are no appreciable differences between the subject devices and the predicate devices with respect to product performance - including harvesting of the radial artery.
Clinical studies involving patients are not necessary to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices. Performance assessments for safety and effectiveness were accomplished through animal studies, cadaver studies and bench evaluations. These studies assessed the following:
- Radial Artery Dissection and Harvesting .
- Insufflation .
- Cauterization 0
