Intended Use
The Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist® Stapler 45 System and Stapler 45 Reloads are intended to be used with the da Vinci Si Surgical System (Model 1S3000) for resection and/or creation of anastomoses in General, Gynecologic, and Urologic surgery. The device can be used with staple line or tissue buttressing material (natural or synthetic). The Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist Stapler 45, Stapler 45 Reloads and other Stapler Accessories (including the bladeless obturators) are intended to be used with the da Vinci Surgical System (Model IS4000) for resection, transection and/or creation of anastomoses in General, Thoracic, Gynecologic, and Urologic surgery. The device can be used with staple line or tissue buttressing material (natural or synthetic). The Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist® Stapler 30 Instrument and Stapler 30 Reloads are intended to be used with the da Vinci Surgical System (Model IS4000) for resection, transection and/or creation of anastomoses in General, Thoracic, Gynecologic, and Urologic surgery. The device is indicated for adult and pediatric use. The devices can be used with staple line or tissue buttressing material.
Device Description
The Endowrist Stapler Instrument, when used with the compatible Stapler 45 Reloads, delivers multiple rows of staples and transects the tissue along the middle of the staple line. The Endowrist Stapler Instrument is a reusable device while the Stapler 45 reloads (available in various sizes) are single-use/disposable devices. The EndoWrist Stapler 45 Instrument is intended for resection, transection, and/or creation of anastomoses in surgery by placing multiple staggered rows of implantable staples in the target tissues (stapling) followed by cutting of the target tissue along the middle of the staple line (transection). IS4000 EndoWrist Stapler 30 Instrument is intended for resection, transection, and/or creation of anastomoses in surgery by placing multiple staggered rows of implantable staples in the target tissues (stapling) followed by cutting of the target tissue along the middle of the staple line (transection). The Stapler 30 Instrument is a reusable, fully wristed articulating device offered in two configurations, a straight tip and a curved-tip. EndoWrist Stapler Reusable Accessories consist of a Stapler Cable, Stapler Release Kit, Stapler Cannula, Blunt Obturator, Stapler Cannula Reducer, and Stapler Motor Pack (SMP). EndoWrist Stapler 45 Accessories mainly consist of: Cannulae, which are essentially hollow tubes that provide a path for instruments to access the surgical site; Obturators, which provide a means of initially inserting the seal and cannula assemblies through the body wall by providing a fitted tip that extends beyond the cannula's most distal point; "Other" Accessories, include the SRK (Stapler Release Kit).
More Information

No
The summary describes a surgical stapling instrument and its accessories, focusing on mechanical function and compatibility with the da Vinci surgical system. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development or validation.

No.
The device is described as a surgical tool for resection, transection, and creation of anastomoses by placing staples and cutting tissue, which is an operative function, not a therapeutic one that treats a disease or condition.

No

The device is a surgical stapler used for resection, transection, and creation of anastomoses, which are surgical procedures, not diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as instruments, reloads, cannulae, and obturators, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device used in surgical procedures.

Based on the provided text, 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.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist Stapler System is a surgical instrument used for resection, transection, and/or creation of anastomoses (joining of tissues) during surgical procedures. It physically interacts with and modifies tissue within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures in various anatomical sites (General, Gynecologic, Urologic, Thoracic).
  • Device Description: The description details the mechanical function of the stapler (delivering staples, cutting tissue) and its components (instrument, reloads, accessories).

There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. It is a surgical tool used for therapeutic purposes.

Technological Characteristics:

The technological characteristics of the subject devices are identical to the predicate devices.

Performance Data:

Performance test data demonstrates that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and that the design output meets the design input requirements. The testing conducted consisted of Cleaning Validations, Thermal Disinfection Validation and Human Factors Validation studies. Design validation and biocompatibility testing were not repeated as the subject device design, materials, and manufacturing processes are identical to the predicate devices.

Summary:

Based on the intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, performance data and nonclinical tests performed, the subject device is substantially equivalent and is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate devices listed in Table 1.1.
