Device Description
The Diathermic Slitter (FlushKnife) and Diathermic Slitter (ClutchCutter) are electrosurgical instruments intended to be used with specified endoscopes to cut tissue using high-frequency current within the digestive tract. The FlushKnife has needle or ball tip shapes and varying slitter lengths and working lengths. The ClutchCutter has a forceps type slitter shape and a working length of 1800mm. Both devices have a water feed function, are operated manually via a handle slider, use monopolar energy delivered from an electrosurgical generator, are single-use devices, and are biocompatible.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical aspects of the device for cutting tissue using high-frequency current. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components. The performance studies are focused on physical and electrical characteristics, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is used for cutting, ablating, dissecting, coagulating, and achieving hemostasis of tissue within the digestive tract, all of which are therapeutic interventions.

No

Explanation: The device is an electrosurgical instrument used to cut, ablate, incise, dissect, avulse, coagulate, and hemostasize tissue. These are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical electrosurgical instrument with a handle, slitter shapes, working lengths, and a water feed function, all of which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside of the body. Their purpose is to provide information about a person's health status, diagnose diseases, or monitor treatments.
  • This device is an electrosurgical instrument used within the digestive tract to cut and manipulate tissue. It directly interacts with tissue inside the body using high-frequency current.

The description clearly indicates that the device is used for surgical procedures within the digestive tract, not for analyzing samples in a laboratory setting.

Device Description

The Diathermic Slitter (FlushKnife) and Diathermic Slitter (ClutchCutter) are electrosurgical instruments. The FlushKnife has models with varying slitter lengths (1.0/1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0mm for DK2618 series; 1.5/2.0mm for DK2623 series), needle shape (with or without ball tip), maximum insertion portion diameter of φ2.7, and working lengths of 1800mm/2300mm. It also features a water feed function. The ClutchCutter has a forceps type slitter shape, maximum insertion portion diameter of φ2.7, working length of 1800mm, and a slitter portion rotation function. Both devices are operated manually via a handle slider, deliver energy from an electrosurgical generator, are monopolar, single-use, and biocompatible. They are used with an endoscope, electrosurgical generator, and an A Cord. The subject device is a modification of the predicate device, specifically a minor change in the material (epoxy resin).

Performance Data

Fujifilm conducted the following performance testing on the proposed device, FlushKnife and ClutchCutter to ensure that the modified device performs equivalently to the predicate device:

FlushKnife

  • . Airtightness
  • Maximum diameter of insertion portion .
  • Working length .
  • Slitter Portion length
  • . Electrical resistance

6

ClutchCutter

  • . Working length:
  • Maximum diameter of insertion portion ●
  • . Distal end shapes
  • . Electrical resistance

In all cases, the device met the pre-defined acceptance criteria for the test.

Substantial Equivalence

The company's proposed device, FlushKnife and ClutchCutter have the same intended use as the previously cleared predicate FlushKnife and ClutchCutter (K151474). In addition, the proposed device, FlushKnife and ClutchCutter has same indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate. Although there are minor differences between the proposed device and its predicate device, namely modification in material (epoxy resin), those differences do not raise new questions of safety or efficacy. The minor change done in the material would not raise any new or additional questions in of safety or effectiveness of the proposed device. Thus, the proposed device, FlushKnife and ClutchCutter, is substantially equivalent to its predicate device.
