The summary describes a surgical handpiece that delivers helium gas plasma for tissue manipulation. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate the use of such technologies. The performance studies focus on mechanical, electrical, and plasma characteristics, as well as usability and biocompatibility, not algorithmic performance.
Yes
The device is used for cutting, coagulation, and ablation of soft tissue, which are actions intended to treat or affect the structure or function of the body.
No
The device is used for cutting, coagulation, and ablation of soft tissue during surgical procedures, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic.
No
The device description and performance studies clearly indicate this is a physical handpiece with mechanical and electrical components, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "cutting, coagulation, and ablation of soft tissue during open and laparascopic surgical procedures." This describes a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a handpiece with a needle or blade tip used to deliver helium gas plasma for tissue modification. This is consistent with a surgical device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is a surgical instrument used for therapeutic purposes (cutting, coagulating, ablating tissue) directly on the patient.

INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS
The Bovie J-Plasma Precise 360 Handpiece is used for the delivery of helium gas plasma for cutting, coagulation, and ablation of soft tissue during open and laparascopic surgical procedures.
The Bovie J-Plasma Precise 360 Handpiece is compatible only with Bovie J-Plasma generators.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Bovie J-Plasma Precise 360 Handpiece is a sterile, single-use electrosurgical accessory intended to be used in conjunction with Bovie J-Plasma electrosurgical generators for the delivery of helium gas plasma for cutting, coagulating and ablating of soft tissue.
The Bovie J-Plasma Precise 360 Handpiece is available with a retractable needle tip, or with a retractable cutting blade tip for excising tissue. Both tip configurations serve as electrodes to generate helium plasma. A 30 degree angled shaft tip provides improved visibility during use, and a rotating knob is used to orient the angled shaft tip to the optimal position. The device is available with 33cm and 45cm shaft lengths. The device can be used in laparoscopic procedures using a standard 5mm trocar.

Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image shows a medical device with a handle and a long, thin probe extending from it. The handle is white with blue accents, and the probe is black with a slight bend at the end. The device is likely used for minimally invasive surgical procedures, allowing doctors to access and treat areas inside the body without making large incisions. The brand name "Bovie" is visible in the upper left corner of the image.
The primary differences between the proposed J-Plasma Precise 360 Handpiece and the predicate J-Plasma Handpiece are:
- The J-Plasma Precise 360 Handpiece is available in 33cm and 45cm shaft lengths and the predicate J-Plasma Handpiece is available in 15cm, 33cm, and 45cm shaft lengths
- The J-Plasma Precise 360 Handpiece has a rotating knob that controls an angled shaft tip . which provides improved visibility and optimal positioning at the surgical site. The angled shaft tip uses a medical-grade which is not present in the predicate device. The rotating knob utilizes material which is present on the predicate device. The predicate J-Plasma Handpiece has a straight shaft tip.
The J-Plasma Precise 360 has the same intended use and energy source as the predicate device. There are no technological differences, no changes to the principle of operation or the method of application, and no changes to sterilization methods. Both devices require a Bovie J-Plasma electrosurgical generator and channel helium gas flow over an energized inner electrode to create a plasma stream.

CONCLUSION
There is no difference between the J-Plasma Precise 360 Handpiece and the legally marketed predicate device Bovie J-Plasma handpiece described in K151325 in terms of intended use, principle of operation, and the technology used for device performance. All features of the Bovie J-Plasma Precise 360 were subjected to verification testing. There is no new technology and no difference that would raise new or different questions of safety or efficacy. The angled shaft tip and rotating knob components are mechanical in nature and do not affect the technology of the device. The purpose of the angled tip and rotating shaft is to allow better positioning of the tip and better visualization of the target tissue. The devices exhibit substantially equivalent performance during bench testing, including equivalent depth of tissue effect.
