No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and function of a physical ligating clip and applier, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is intended for "ligation of the cystic duct and other general ligation," indicating its use in a medical procedure to tie off blood vessels or ducts, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is described as an absorbable ligating clip used for general ligation, such as of the cystic duct. Its purpose is to physically ligate or tie off structures, not to diagnose conditions or diseases.
No
The device description clearly details physical components made of polymers and metal (applier), indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "absorbable ligatures" and "ligation of the cystic duct and other general ligation." This describes a surgical procedure performed on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a "ligating clip" and "applier." This is a surgical tool used to physically close off vessels or tissues.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical instrument used for physical ligation during a procedure.

INTENDED USE
Lapro-Clip™ absorbable ligating clip cartridges are intended for use as absorbable ligatures. Lapro-Clip™ absorbable ligating clip cartridges are radiotransparent and will not interfere with interpretations of postoperative X-ray, CT, or MRI scans. The Lapro-Clip™ absorbable ligating clip cartridge may be used for liqation of the cystic artery and cystic duct and other qeneral liqation.
SUMMARY COMPARING THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SUBJECT AND PREDICATE DEVICES:
The proposed Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Long Clip Applier manufactured with a longer shaft length and tested to update sterilization, cleaning and lifecycle testing to current FDA Draft Guidance for "Processing/Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings" is equivalent to Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Standard and Short Clip Applier (K925602) in terms of the following technological characteristics:
- Indication ।
- Raw materials ।
- Performance characteristics -
- -Biocompatibility
- -Stability
- Life Cycle Reliability -
Biocompatibility studies were conducted on existing Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Standard and Short Clip Applier (K925602). The proposed device contains same materials as predicate.
Sterilization and cleaning studies for the proposed Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Long Clip Applier and predicate device Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Standard and Short Clip Applier (K925602) have been performed.
Performance studies were conducted to demonstrate that the proposed device, the Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Long Clip Applier is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. In-vitro testing that supports the intended use of this device includes:
In-vitro Testina:
- Visual Examination .
- Firing Force
- 트 Cartridge Latch Depression
- Trigger Return Force ■
- . General Safety and Efficacy
5
- Leak Resistance
- Barrel Rotation Torque
- Clip Formation/Deployment
- = Lifecycle reliability test
In-vivo testing was not performed for this change. The clip cartridge with clips is sold separately and was previously tested in original 510(k) for clip applier and clip cartridge (K925602). This modification had no impact to clip cartridge or clips.
CONCLUSION:
The results of testing demonstrate that the modified the Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Long Clip Applier is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Clip Applier (K925602).
