Intended Use
The Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist Stapler 45. Stapler 45 Reloads and other Stapler Accessories (including the bladeless obturators) are intended to be used with the da Vinci Surgical System (Model IS4000) for resection and/or creation of anastomoses in General, Thoracic, Gynecologic, and Urologic surgery. The device can be used with staple line or tissue buttressing material (natural or synthetic).
Device Description
The subject 12 mm & Stapler Bladeless Obturator (Bladeless Obturator) is used with the 12 mm & Stapler Cannula (Cannula) and 12 mm & Stapler Cannula Seal (Cannula Seal) to facilitate placement of the Cannula in the body wall. The Bladeless Obturator consists of three components - a shaft, a handle, and two latches that allow it to latch onto the Cannula Seal. The handle is made of Radel R-550 while the shaft and the two latches are made of stainless steel. The subject device is a reusable device and is offered in two lengths (standard and long) to match the Cannula lengths and meet users' needs.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical surgical stapler accessory and its intended use with a robotic surgical system. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is described as an obturator, used to facilitate placement of a cannula during surgery, and is not directly used to treat or cure a disease or condition. It is a surgical tool.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a surgical stapler and obturator used for resection and creation of anastomoses, which are surgical procedures, not diagnostic ones. Its purpose is to facilitate physical intervention during surgery.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components made of Radel R-550 and stainless steel, and the performance studies describe bench testing of mechanical properties and animal model testing, indicating a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "resection and/or creation of anastomoses in General, Thoracic, Gynecologic, and Urologic surgery." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a surgical instrument (a bladeless obturator used with a cannula and seal) designed to facilitate the placement of other surgical tools. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. IVDs are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose diseases or conditions.

Therefore, the information provided strongly indicates this is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Design verification and design validation testing were conducted on the subject device to confirm that the design outputs meet design input requirements and that the device is safe and effective for its intended use.
Design Verification: The bench testing summarized in this submission verifies dimensional, mechanical and labeling requirements for the subject device. Drop test, axial load bearing capacity of the connection between the Obturator and Cannula Seal, maximum diametrical clearance when the Obturator is used with the Cannula, and maximum length of the Obturator shaft past the distal end of the Cannula were tested along with adequacy of labeling required to communicate compatibility of the subject device.
Design Validation: The testing summarized in this submission validates general, functional, and interaction (compatibility) requirements for the subject device. Tests with an animal model were performed to assess the subject device's latching mechanism and verify that the obturator does not catch on tissue. The subject device's compatibility with Cannula Seals were tested to ensure they maintain insufflation when used together.

The subject 12 mm & Stapler Bladeless Obturator (Bladeless Obturator) is used with the 12 mm & Stapler Cannula (Cannula) and 12 mm & Stapler Cannula Seal (Cannula Seal) to facilitate placement of the Cannula in the body wall. The Bladeless Obturator consists of three components - a shaft, a handle, and two latches that allow it to latch onto the Cannula Seal. The handle is made of Radel R-550 while the shaft and the two latches are made of stainless steel. The subject device is a reusable device and is offered in two lengths (standard and long) to match the Cannula lengths and meet users' needs.

Intended Use/Indications for Use:

The Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist Stapler 45, Stapler 45 Reloads and other Stapler Accessories (including the bladeless obturators) are intended to be used with the da Vinci Surgical System (Model IS4000) for resection, transection and/or creation of anastomoses in General, Thoracic, Gynecologic, and Urologic surgery.

Technological Characteristics:

The subject 12 mm & Stapler Bladeless Obturator is very similar to its predicate device (12 mm & Stapler Blunt Obturators cleared in K140553). It has the same intended use, same fundamental scientific technology, and similar technological characteristics as the predicate device. Modifications consist of a change in tip design from blunt to bladeless and change in material of the shaft from Radel to 17-4 stainless steel.

Performance Data:

In accordance with the Design Control process, risk analysis was conducted to evaluate impact of modifications on the predicate device. Design verification and design validation testing were conducted on the subject device to confirm that the design outputs meet design input requirements and that the device is safe and effective for its intended use.

Design Verification:

The bench testing summarized in this submission verifies dimensional, mechanical and labeling requirements for the subject device. Drop test, axial load bearing capacity of the connection between the Obturator and Cannula Seal, maximum diametrical clearance when the Obturator is used with the Cannula, and maximum length of the Obturator shaft past the distal end of the Cannula were tested along with adequacy of labeling required to communicate compatibility of the subject device.

Design Validation:

The testing summarized in this submission validates general, functional, and interaction (compatibility) requirements for the subject device. Tests with an animal model were performed to assess the subject device's latching mechanism and verify that the obturator does not catch on tissue. The subject device's compatibility with Cannula Seals were tested to ensure they maintain insufflation when used together.

Summary:

Based on the intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance data, the subject 12 mm & Stapler Bladeless Obturator is substantially equivalent to the predicate 12 mm & Stapler Blunt Obturators cleared in K140553.
