No
A diagnostic device is used to identify or detect a disease, condition, or medical problem. The Vitalitec Kerrison Rongeur is a surgical instrument used for cutting bone during surgery, performing a therapeutic action rather than a diagnostic one.
No
The device is a manually operated reusable surgical instrument made of stainless steel, clearly indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "cutting or biting bone during surgery involving the skull or spinal column." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is described as a "manually operated reusable surgical instrument." Surgical instruments used for procedures on the body are not IVDs.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
IVDs are devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device is a surgical tool used for a physical intervention on the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Mechanical Testing: Cutting performance testing/bite force was performed to compare functional requirements of the Vitalitec Kerrison Rongeurs with the predicate device. Cutting of control carton 250g/m2 according to DIN 58298 using both the predicate and proposed Kerrison Rongeur. 100% Inspection resulted in all samples of both the predicate and the proposed Kerrison Rongeurs meeting the requirements of DIN 58298, resulting in the determination of substantial equivalence. Test showed the measured functional specifications of the Vitalitec Kerrison rongeurs were equivalent or better than comparable specifications of the predicate device.

The Vitalitec Medizintechnik GmbH Kerrison Rongeur is substantially equivalent to the predicate device since the basic features and the intended uses are the same. The only difference in design between the predicate is that the upper slide of the Integra moves upward, where the Vitalitec upper shaft moves sideways to detach for cleaning. The predicate device is available with additional coatings that are not used by Vitalitec. The minor differences between the Vitalitec Medizintechnik GmbH Kerrison Rongeur and the predicate device raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness. These differences have no effect on the function or intended use of the device.

Reprocessing:
Vitalitec Medizintechnik GmbH Kerrison Rongeurs cleaning and disinfection validations studies were performed in accordance with FDA Draft Guidance : Processing/Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling (May 2, 2011) The subject device is shipped non-sterile and is intended to be sterilized by user.
Clinical Data [21 CFR 807.92(b)(2)]
Clinical data was not used to determine substantial equivalence.
Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]
Substantial equivalence for this device is based on similarities in intended use, function (design and technology), performance, and operational principle to the predicate device. Integra Kerrison Rongeurs (K092227).
The Vitalitec Medizintechnik GmbH Kerrison Rongeurs intended use and indications for use is identical to the Integra Kerrison Rongeurs (K092227) for cranial and spine applications: Neurosurgery.
7
The material used for the Vitalitec Medizintechnik GmbH Kerrison Rongeur is the same material as used for the Integra predicate Rongeur. The only difference is that the Integra devices have additional coating materials that are not used by Vitalitec.
The design, operational principle and technology of cutting bone are identical to Integra predicate Rongeurs. The material is captured and removed the same as the predicate device. The mechanical cut of the Vitalitec Medizintechnik GmbH Kerrison Rongeur is identical to the predicate. The only technological difference is that the upper slide of the Integra moves upward, where the Vitalitec upper shaft moves sideways to detach for cleaning. This does not impact the intended use of the device.
Based on predicate analysis as well as non-clinical performance testing, Vitalitec Medizintechnik GmbH has demonstrated the subject device is identical to the predicate in performance based on intended use. The results of the testing confirmed that Vitalitec Medizintechnik GmbH Kerrison Rongeurs and Integra Kerrison Rongeurs performed as intended.
Due to the similarity of the intended use, indications of use, function, materials, performance, and operational principle to the predicate device, Vitalitec Medizintechnik GmbH believes that the Vitalitec Medizintechnik GmbH Kerrison Rongeur does not raise any new safety or effectiveness issues.
