No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgical generator and a bipolar sealing/dividing instrument. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML applications in medical devices. The performance studies focus on electrical, mechanical, and functional capabilities, as well as seal quality and thermal effects, which are standard evaluations for this type of device.

Yes.
The device is used in surgical procedures to ligate (tie off) and divide vessels or tissue bundles, which is a therapeutic action.

No

The device is an electrosurgical generator and a sealer-divider instrument used for the ligation and division of vessels and tissue bundles during surgical procedures. Its function is to perform a surgical action (sealing and dividing tissue), not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states that the Voyant Electrosurgical Generator is a tabletop RF power supply with electrical hardware and software components housed within a physical enclosure. The Voyant 5mm Laparoscopic Tissue Sealer-Divider is a physical instrument designed for use with the generator. This indicates a system with significant hardware components, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions.
  • Device Function: The Voyant electrosurgical generator and sealer-divider are used during surgical procedures to ligate and divide vessels and tissue within the body using radiofrequency energy.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "in open and laparoscopic surgical procedures where the electrosurgical ligation of vessels or tissue bundles is desired." This describes a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument and a power supply for use in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the Voyant electrosurgical generator and sealer-divider are surgical devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Testing was performed on the subject Voyant® system to demonstrate electrical, mechanical and functional capabilities in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-2-2. The subject system was also tested side-by-side against the predicate system to evaluate substantial equivalence with respect to performance in a laboratory setting as well as an animal model. Side-by-side testing focused on the seal quality evaluation and the local tissue effects of the applied RF energy in and surrounding the seal.

Non-clinical: Basic mechanical and functional capabilities were tested for the subject electrosurgical generator and subject sealer-divider. The following is a summary of components and testing performed:

  • Electrosurgical Generator
    • Energy output
    • Static and Dynamic Load testing
  • Sealer-Divider Device
    • Mechanical strength testing per IEC 60601-1
    • Durability testing
    • Destructive testing per IEC 60601-2-2
  • Integrated System
    • Electrical safety testing per IEC 60601-1
    • Safety systems testing

Preclinical: Preclinical bench (ex vivo porcine vessels/tissue) and animal (in vivo canine model) studies were performed to evaluate system safety and efficacy and to demonstrate that the subject device performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device; namely:

  • Preclinical (ex vivo)
    • Seal evaluation
    • Thermal damage
    • Burst pressures

The Voyant 5mm Sealer-Divider device is a bipolar, electrosurgical device indicated for use with the Voyant electrosurgical generator in laparoscopic procedures where the ligation and division of vessels and tissue bundles is desired.

The device can seal and divide vessels up to and including 7mm in diameter and tissue bundles that can be captured in the jaws of the device.

The device has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures, and should not be used for these procedures.

Summary of Technological Characteristics between Subject and Predicate:

The subject and predicate generators are technologically similar in that both are electrically isolated, microprocessor controlled, tabletop RF power supplies designed for use in electrosurgery. The generators are designed to provide RF energy to connected bipolar instruments with fuse energy modes. Both generators are equipped with a graphical user interface that allows the user to adjust the energy output settings. The generators are dissimilar in that the predicate generator supports electrosurgical cutting and coagulation as well as monopolar and standard bipolar instruments, where the subject device does not.

The subject and predicate instruments are technologically similar in size, configuration, and operation. They are designed to deliver RF energy to vessels up to 7mm and tissue captured between the jaws of the device for tissue fusion. Both instruments feature pistol-grip style handles with a trigger for jaw closure and button on the back of the handle for energy activation. The instruments are equipped with a mechanical, user-actuated blade for the division of sealed tissue. The instruments are dissimilar in that the subject jaws are capable of uninterrupted 360° rotation where the predicate jaws have 159° of rotation.

Discussion of Performance Testing Submitted:

Testing was performed on the subject Voyant® system to demonstrate electrical, mechanical and functional capabilities in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-2-2.
