Intended Use
The EndoWrist Vessel Sealer is a bipolar electrosurgical instrument for use with a compatible da Vinci Surgical System and the ERBE VIO dV electrosurgical generator. It is intended for grasping and blunt dissection of tissue and for bipolar coagulation and mechanical transection of vessels up to 7 mm in diameter and tissue bundles that fit in the jaws of the instrument. The EndoWrist Vessel Sealer has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures, and should not be used for these procedures. The 8 mm Harmonic ACE Curved Shears is intended for soft tissue incisions when bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are desired. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a compatible da Vinci Surgical System and a compatible Ethicon Endo-Surgery Generator and Hand Piece. The Intuitive Surgical da Vinci Single-Site Instruments and Accessories used with a compatible da Vinci Surgical System are indicated for use by trained physicians in an operating room environment for endoscopic manipulation of tissue, grasping, cutting, blunt and sharp dissection, approximation, clip-ligation, electrocautery, suction/irrigation and suturing during single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy, benign hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy with the da Vinci Single-Site Instruments and Accessories, including graspers, dissectors, needle drivers, scissors, suction irrigators, monopolar cautery, bipolar cautery, clip appliers, 5 mm curved cannulae, 5 mm and 10 mm straight cannulae, 8 mm endoscope cannula, flexible and rigid blunt obturators, cannula seal, and the Single-Site Port.
Device Description
The EndoWrist Vessel Sealer is a sterile, single-use (disposable), 8 mm instrument with an integrated cord that connects to the instrument housing and an Erbe VIO dV generator. The EndoWrist Vessel Sealer device consists of a distal wristed end effector and a proximal housing connected by a tubular shaft. The housing contains mechanisms to actuate the end effector when attached to a compatible da Vinci Surgical System. An integrated cord attached to the housing is connected to a receptacle in the IESU. An electrode sealing surface and a cutting blade within the jaws of the instrument enable sealing of vessels and cutting of sealed vessels and other tissues. The sealing and cutting functions are controlled using the compatible da Vinci Surgical System foot pedals. The da Vinci 8 mm Harmonic ACE Curved Shears is a single-use, sterile instrument used to deliver ultrasonic energy to enable transection and coagulation of tissue. The movement and function of the da Vinci 8 mm Harmonic ACE Curved Shears are controlled by the surgeon from the Surgeon Console of a compatible da Vinci Surgical System. This instrument consists of a housing, instrument shaft, and instrument jaws comprised of a clamp arm and blade. The da Vinci Single-Site Instruments and Accessories are a set of devices developed by Intuitive Surgical to enable single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy, benign hysterectomy and salpingo oophorectomy using the compatible da Vinci Surgical System.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes surgical instruments and accessories for a robotic surgical system, focusing on mechanical and electrosurgical functions. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device descriptions and intended uses clearly state that these instruments are used for medical procedures involving tissue manipulation, cutting, coagulation, and sealing within the human body for therapeutic purposes (e.g., vessel sealing, tissue dissection, cholecystectomy, hysterectomy).

No

Explanation: The provided text describes the intended use of the devices for surgical procedures such as grasping, dissection, coagulation, transection, incision, and suturing, which are therapeutic interventions, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of the device being used to identify or determine the nature of a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly details physical instruments (EndoWrist Vessel Sealer, Harmonic ACE Curved Shears, Single-Site Instruments and Accessories) with mechanical and electrical components, not solely software.

Based on the provided text, none of the described devices are IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The descriptions of the EndoWrist Vessel Sealer, Harmonic ACE Curved Shears, and da Vinci Single-Site Instruments and Accessories all clearly state their intended use is for surgical procedures directly on the patient's body (grasping, cutting, sealing vessels, tissue manipulation, etc.).
  • The devices are used in an operating room environment by trained physicians. This further reinforces their use in direct surgical intervention, not laboratory testing of samples.

Therefore, these devices are surgical instruments, not IVDs.

Technological Characteristics:

The purpose of this submission is to change the Indications for Use for the EndoWrist Vessel Sealer, 8 mm Harmonic ACE Curved Shears, and da Vinci Single-Site Instruments and Accessories.

Specific references to compatible systems (i.e. "Xi", "Model IS4000") have been removed from the EndoWrist Vessel Sealer, 8 mm Harmonic ACE Curved Shears, and Single-Site Instruments and Accessories Indications for Use statements. The reference to "compatible da Vinci Surgical Systems" in the subject Indications for Use coupled with identification of specific systems compatibility in the Compatibility Information or Device Description section of the User Manual for the subject devices is essentially equivalent to the reference to model "IS4000" in the predicate Indications for Use statements.

The subject devices are identical to their predicate devices in terms of design, technology, and performance specifications. The Indications for Use and Device Description for the subject devices included in this submission are summarized below:

EndoWrist Vessel Sealer

Intended Use/Indications for Use

The EndoWrist Vessel Sealer is a bipolar electrosurgical instrument for use with a compatible da Vinci Surgical System and the ERBE VIO dV electrosurgical generator. It is intended for grasping and blunt dissection of tissue and for bipolar coagulation and mechanical transection of vessels up to 7 mm in diameter and tissue bundles that fit in the jaws of the instrument. The EndoWrist Vessel Sealer has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures, and should not be used for these procedures.

Device Description

The EndoWrist Vessel Sealer is a sterile, single-use (disposable), 8 mm instrument with an integrated cord that connects to the instrument housing and an Erbe VIO dV generator. The EndoWrist Vessel Sealer device consists of a distal wristed end effector and a proximal housing connected by a tubular shaft. The housing contains mechanisms to actuate the end effector when attached to a compatible da Vinci Surgical System. An integrated cord attached to the housing is connected to a receptacle in the IESU. An electrode sealing surface and a cutting blade within the jaws of the instrument enable sealing of vessels and cutting of sealed vessels and other tissues. The sealing and cutting functions are controlled using the compatible da Vinci Surgical System foot pedals.
