Device Description
The CODMAN VersaTru Disposable Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps (VersaTru Bipolar Forceps) are single use, disposable, sterile electrosurgical devices, for use in electrosurgery for the coagulation of tissue. The forceps are part of an electrosurgical system consisting of an electrosurgical bipolar generator and bipolar cord attached to the proximal end of the forceps, to provide power and deliver electrical current from the generator to the distal tips of the forceps.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgical bipolar forceps and its performance testing, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended for "coagulation of tissue," which is a therapeutic intervention in electrosurgery.

No

The device is described as an electrosurgical device for the coagulation of tissue, indicating a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "single use, disposable, sterile electrosurgical device" and describes physical components like "distal tips" and a connection to a "bipolar cord," indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for use in electrosurgery for coagulation of tissue." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument used to deliver electrical current for tissue coagulation. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

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 tool used for treatment.

Animal Studies

No animal studies were performed as appropriate verification and validation of the new device was achieved based on the comparison to the predicate device and from the results of the bench testing, biocompatibility evaluation, and electrical/safety testing.

Clinical Studies

No clinical studies were performed as appropriate verification and validation of the new device was achieved based on the comparison to the predicate device and from the results of the bench testing, biocompatibility evaluation, and electrical/safety testing.

VIII. Conclusion

Based upon the intended use, design, function, materials, comparison to the predicate device, and testing conducted, it is concluded that the subject device, VersaTru Bipolar Forceps, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Synergetics Disposable Spetzler Malis Standard Bipolar Forceps (K121426), and therefore does not raise different issues of safety and effectiveness.
