Intended Use
The Plasma Edge System single use bipolar resection electrodes are used for the ablation and hemostasis of tissues under endoscopic control, in association with endoscopic accessories. They are intended for endoscopic surgeries with saline irrigation, in the field of urology. The use of the Plasma Edge System is restricted to surgeons, specialized in urological surgery, for specific use in: · Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia - · Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) or bladder neck - · Transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) - · Cystodiathermy · Transurethral Vaporization of the prostate (TUVP/TVP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia, and for Transurethral Vaporization of bladder tumors. (MVVS and MVV models only)
Device Description
The Plasma Edge system is a manual surgical device, consisting of a single-use electrode with cable range, an active and passive working element reusable and an adaptator to an HF generator compatible. The electrodes consist of an active tip, two wires threaded through ceramic tubes to connect the active tip to the body of the loop, allowing the HF energy to reach the active tip. It has to be used with continuous flow irrigation of saline solution (NaCl 0,9%) that reaches the operative site through a resectoscope. The HF energy delivered from the generator to the electrode ionizes the gas of the saline solution, creating a plasma for the cutting, coagulation and vaporization of tissues.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on a manual surgical device utilizing plasma energy for tissue ablation and hemostasis. There is no mention of AI or ML in the description, performance studies, or key metrics.

Yes
The device is used for the ablation and hemostasis of tissues, and the cutting, coagulation, and vaporization of tissues, which are all therapeutic actions.

No

The device is described as a "manual surgical device" used for "ablation and hemostasis of tissues" and "cutting, coagulation and vaporization of tissues." Its intended use is for therapeutic procedures like "Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP)" and "Transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT)," not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "manual surgical device, consisting of a single-use electrode with cable range, an active and passive working element reusable and an adaptator to an HF generator compatible." This indicates it is a hardware device with physical components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Plasma Edge System is a surgical device used for the ablation, hemostasis, cutting, coagulation, and vaporization of tissues within the body during endoscopic procedures. It directly interacts with and modifies tissue.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes surgical procedures performed on the patient's internal organs (prostate, bladder).
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical electrode and associated components for delivering energy to tissue.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing samples taken from the body. The device operates directly on the tissue in situ.

Therefore, the Plasma Edge System is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

It has to be used with continuous flow irrigation of saline solution (NaCl 0,9%) that reaches the operative site through a resectoscope. The HF energy delivered from the generator to the electrode ionizes the gas of the saline solution, creating a plasma for the cutting, coagulation and vaporization of tissues.

Electrodes range:

The list of electrodes is divided in 2 ranges: SIDE LOAD and FRONT LOAD.

Each range got is specific way to be assembly into the working element. The only physical difference between both ranges is the electrode cable connexion.

End user can be used to both versions so we decided to offer the choice between them.

Working element range:

The working elements are compatible with the 3 main existing optics brands: STORZ, ACMI and OLYMPUS.

The working elements will be divided in 2 families: side load connection and front load connection.

Adaptor:

This will allow to connect the Plasma EDGE electrode range to a bipolar HF generator system

Conclusion:

There is no difference between the Plasma EDGE resection system and the predicate devices in terms of intended use, principle of operation, and the technology used for device performance. In other words, there is no difference technically, clinically and biologically.

The Plasma EDGE resection system was subjected to verification testing to confirm device performance. There is no new technology and no difference that would raise new or different questions of safety or efficiency. Comparative performance testing demonstrate that the device performed as well as, or better than, the predicate device.
