No
The summary describes a mechanical surgical stapler and its cartridges. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components. The performance studies focus on mechanical reliability, shelf life, biocompatibility, and tissue sealing pressure, consistent with a purely mechanical device.

No
This device is a surgical stapler used for cutting and joining tissue, which is a surgical tool rather than a therapeutic device that administers a treatment for a condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a surgical stapler used for transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses, which are therapeutic surgical procedures, not diagnostic ones. It does not identify or analyze a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single patient use stapler" that delivers "316L stainless steel staples" and performs "transecting tissue." This indicates a physical, hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures involving the transection, resection, and creation of anastomoses in the small and large intestine and appendix. This is a surgical tool used directly on tissue within the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a surgical stapler that physically cuts and staples tissue.
  • 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) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such tests on samples.

Therefore, the MicroCutter XCHANGE™30 is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Bench and animal testing was conducted and the results demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate device, and the MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 White Cartridge met all design specifications. A summary of the design requirements evaluated were as follows:

  • Reliability testing was completed and demonstrated that device performance and . strength meets design specification, post gamma sterilization, transit conditioning, environmental conditioning, and accelerated aging.
  • Shelf life testing was completed and passed in accordance with ASTM F1980. ●
  • Biocompatibility testing was completed and passed in accordance with ISO . 10993-1 requirements.
  • A chronic, pre-clinical evaluation of small intestinal anastomoses created in . juvenile pigs by the white and blue staples, using the MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 Stapler, was performed and demonstrated substantial equivalence of the subject White Staple Cartridge to the predicate Blue Staple Cartridge.

I. Indications for Use

The MicroCutter XCHANGE™30 is intended for use in multiple open or minimally invasive surgical procedures for the transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses in small and large intestine as well as the transection of the appendix.

J. Comparison to Predicate Device

The subject MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 White Cartridge is equivalent in its Indications for Use to the predicate MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 Blue Cartridge (K132581). The difference between the subject White Staple Cartridge and the predicate Blue Staple Cartridge are as follows:

    1. Removal of the colorant from the plastic material used at the distal tip of the cartridge,
  • Decrease of primary and secondary staple tine length on the implant, and 2.
    1. The proximal end of the subject MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 White Cartridge adds an index ridge feature so the Stapler can differentiate between the two Cartridges.

Technological Characteristics K.

The technological characteristics of the subject MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 White Cartridge are substantially equivalent to the predicate device as demonstrated through verification testing.
