More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a set of mechanical laparoscopic instruments and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies are focused on mechanical and electrical safety, cleaning, and sterilization, not algorithmic performance.

No
This device is described as an instrument for cutting, clamping, suturing, and dissecting during surgical procedures, which are interventional actions, not therapeutic ones.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an instrument for cutting, clamping, suturing, and dissecting in laparoscopic procedures, indicating it is an surgical tool rather than a device used for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of a handle and insert assembly with a shaft and end-effector, which are physical hardware components. The performance studies also focus on testing physical attributes like strength, cleaning, sterilization, and electrical safety standards related to hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Snowden-Pencer MicroLap 3mm Laparoscopic Instruments are described as surgical instruments used within the body during minimally invasive procedures for actions like cutting, clamping, suturing, and dissecting. They also allow for electrosurgical functions.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, detection of substances, or diagnostic purposes based on in vitro testing.

The device is clearly an invasive surgical instrument used for procedural interventions, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Ms.Weber:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
