No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgical instrument with mechanical and electrical components for sealing and cutting tissue. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision-making within the device's operation.
Yes
This device is a surgical instrument used to cut and seal vessels and tissue during surgical procedures, which is a therapeutic function.
No
Explanation: The device is an electrosurgical instrument for cutting and sealing tissue and vessels during surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical surgical instrument with a grip housing assembly, shaft, jaws, and knife, which is connected to a generator via a power cord. While it uses software from the generator, the device itself is a hardware instrument.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "open surgical procedures where ligation and division of vessels is desired." It's a surgical instrument used during surgery to cut and seal tissue and vessels.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument with jaws, a knife, and the ability to deliver bipolar energy. This is consistent with a surgical tool, not a device that analyzes samples in vitro (outside the body).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is purely mechanical and energy-based for surgical manipulation.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device operates directly on tissue within the body during a surgical procedure.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Enseal® X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer instrument is a dedicated bipolar electrosurgical instrument intended for use in open surgical procedures where ligation and division of vessels is desired. It is a bipolar instrument for use with the Ethicon Generator G11 (GEN11). It is intended for use during open surgery to cut and seal vessels, cut, grasp, and dissect tissue during surgery. Indications for use include open general, gynecologic, thoracic, and vascular procedures. These procedures include hysterectomies. Nissen fundoplication. adhesiolysis, oophorectomies, etc. The devices can be used on vessels (arteries, veins, pulmonary vasculature, lymphatics) up to and including 7 mm and tissue bundles.
The Enseal® X1 Curved Large Jaw instrument has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures. Do not use this system for these procedures. The efficacy of the Enseal® X1 Curved Large Jaw instrument for the indication of contraceptive tubal coagulation (permanent female sterilization) has not been evaluated and is unknown. The design of the EnSeal® Tissue Sealing Device is significantly different from bipolar designs that are marketed for the indication of contraceptive tubal coagulation. The design differences may affect the efficacy of the procedure and failure rates may not be comparable.

Device Description
The Enseal® X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer device is a sterile, single patient use surgical instrument used to coagulate and transect vessels up to and including 7 mm in diameter, tissue and/or vascular bundles. This device is for soft tissue only. The instrument consists of a grip housing assembly, a rotating shaft, a moveable jaw, and a knife. The instrument shaft can be rotated 360° to facilitate visualization and enable easy access to targeted tissue. The curved jaws are in a normally-opened position and can be partially or fully closed by squeezing the closing handle. The jaws are designed for grasping and holding targeted tissue when clamped. Bipolar energy is delivered when the seal button (blue button) or MIN foot pedal is pressed. Pressing the cut button advances the knife the length of the jaws to cut the targeted tissue. It should be noted that this device has independent seal and cut capabilities. The power cord is permanently attached to the device and connects the instrument directly to the Generator 11. The Enseal® X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer device is designed for use exclusively with the Ethicon Generator G11 (GEN11) software version 2016-1 or later, packaged separately.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Ex-vivo Bench Testing:
Sealed vessel burst test was evaluated for Enseal® X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer device to support substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The bench testing involved evaluation of the devices performance and ability to seal and divide vessels up to 7 mm. The maximum and minimum values, standard deviation and the mean were recorded. Data generated from the bench testing met the predetermined acceptance criteria. Moreover, thermal profile testing was completed and demonstrated equivalence to the predicate device.
Acute Animal (Porcine) Testing:
Testing was performed in an acute animal study with the Enseal® X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer vs. the predicate device to demonstrate that there was no difference in the tissue effects when using the subject device and the predicate device. Moreover, the acute testing involved evaluation of the devices performance and ability to seal and divide vessels up to and including 7 mm as well as lymphatics testing. The results of all studies demonstrated the ability of the subject device (NSLX120L) to perform as well as the legally identified predicate device.
Survival Animal (Porcine) Testing:
Testing was performed in survival animal studies with the Ensea1® X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer vs. the predicate device to demonstrate that the tissue effects were not different than the predicate device. Moreover, the survival testing involved evaluation of the devices performance and ability to seal and divide vessels up to and including 7 mm. The results of the study demonstrated the ability of the subject device (NSLX120L) to perform as well as the legally identified predicate device.

Indications for Use
Enseal® X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer
The Enseal® X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer instrument is a dedicated bipolar electrosurgical instrument intended for use in open surgical procedures where ligation and division of vessels is desired. It is a bipolar instrument for use with the Ethicon Generator G11 (GEN11). It is intended for use during open surgery to cut and seal vessels, cut, grasp, and dissect tissue during surgery. Indications for use include open general, gynecologic, urologic, thoracic, and vascular procedures. These procedures include hysterectomies, colectomies, Nissen fundoplication, adhesiolysis, oophorectomies, etc. The devices can be used on vessels (arteries, veins, pulmonary vasculature, lymphatics) up to and including 7 mm and tissue bundles.
Contraindications: The Enseal® X1 Curved Large Jaw instrument has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures. Do not use this system for these procedures. The efficacy of the Enseal® X1 Curved Large Jaw instrument for the indication of contraceptive tubal coagulation (permanent female sterilization) has not been evaluated and is unknown. The design of the EnSeal® Tissue Sealing Device is significantly different from bipolar designs that are marketed for the indication of contraceptive tubal coagulation. The design differences may affect the efficacy of the procedure and failure rates may not be comparable.
Technological Characteristics and Differences
The Enseal® X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer is the same as the predicate Enseal® X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer device in that they are electrosurgical bipolar vessel sealing instruments used to cut and seal vessels, cut, grasp and dissect tissues during surgery, and utilize the same technology and have the exact same intended use and indications for use. The only difference between the subject device and the predicate device is a change in the device EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) parameters such that it allows for slightly reduced sealing times on tissue. The subject Enseal® X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer Device only uses the Generator 11 (GEN11) as its power source.
