No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts, and the device description focuses on mechanical stapling functionality.

Yes.
The device description states it is intended for "resection and/or creation of anastomoses," which are therapeutic surgical procedures.

No.
The document explicitly states the device's intended use is for "resection and/or creation of anastomoses," and places "multiple rows of implantable staples" followed by "cutting of the target tissue." These are surgical, therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of the device being used to identify or analyze diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "reusable surgical stapler system" and mentions physical components like "staples," "stapler motor pack," and "subassemblies," indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "resection and/or creation of anastomoses in General, Gynecologic, and Urologic surgery." This describes a surgical procedure performed on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a "reusable surgical stapler system" used for "placing multiple rows of implantable staples in the target tissues (stapling) followed by cutting of the target tissue along the middle of the staple line (transection)." This is a description of a surgical instrument used for physical manipulation of tissue within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on sample analysis

In summary, the device is a surgical instrument used for performing procedures directly on a patient, which falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Design Verification: Appropriate verification testing was performed on the subject device to evaluate design specifications such as physical, mechanical, and any requirements that may be affected by the design change. Distal subject device subassemblies built with the new cam material were subjected to a 3X the maximum calculated load. Subject devices were cleaned and sterilized and then tested for clamp, fire, electrical connectivity of reload and Stapler Motor Pack. Subject device and subject device sub-assemblies met design verification specifications.

Design Verification Sub-Assembly: Appropriate verification testing was performed on the subject device sub-assembly to evaluate design specifications such as environmental assisted cracking susceptibility and requirements that have been affected by the design change. Subject device sub-assemblies met design verification specifications.

Reliability/Life Testing: Verification testing was performed to evaluate requirements that may be affected by the design change. Subject devices were fired, clamped and reprocessed for the estimated life of the product. Subject device met reliability/life specifications.

Design Validation: Design Validation testing was performed on subject and predicate devices to confirm the subject device meets the user needs and intended use in a clinical setting. The testing summarized in this submission validates general, functional, and interaction (compatibility) requirements for the subject device. Tests with an animal model evaluated performance based on comparative tissue approximation, hemostasis, and staple formation in accordance with its intended use. Design Validation results confirm the design modifications to the Stapler 45 Instrument do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness.

Device Description

The Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist® Stapler 45, Stapler 45 Reloads and Accessories is a reusable surgical stapler system designed for use exclusively with the Intuitive da Vinci Surgical System (Model IS3000). It is intended for resection, transection and/or creation of anastomoses in General, Gynecologic, and Urologic surgery by placing multiple rows of implantable staples in the target tissues (stapling) followed by cutting of the target tissue along the middle of the staple line (transection).

4

The implantable staples, trade name Stapler 45 Reloads, are provided in a separate single use cartridge and are available in the following two configurations to accommodate tissues of various thickness:

  • . 3.5 mm staple size single use reload (Blue Reload)
  • . 4.3 mm staple size single use reload (Green Reload)

Accessories, including cannula, obturator, cannula reducer, and a cannula seal, are provided to support the interface of the EndoWrist® Stapler 45 with the da Vinci Surgical System (Model IS3000).

Intended Use:

To resect, transect and/or create anastomoses in surgery.

Indications for Use:

The EndoWrist Stapler 45 System and EndoWrist Stapler 45 Reloads are intended to be used with the da Vinci Si Surgical System (Model IS3000) for resection, transection 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).

Technological Characteristics:

The modification to the design of the predicate Stapler 45 Instrument is a change in materials to the distal end of the device. This change does not impact the intended use and the fundamental scientific technology of the device. The modified device (subject) and the current device (predicate) share similar technological characteristics.

Performance Data:

In accordance with the Design Control process, risk analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of design modifications on the predicate device. Design verification and design validation testing were conducted on the subject device to confirm that the design outputs meet design input requirements and that the device is safe and effective for its intended use.

Table 2: Design Verification Performed
----------------------------------------------

Design Validation:

Design Validation testing was performed on subject and predicate devices to confirm the subject device meets the user needs and intended use in a clinical setting. The testing summarized in this submission validates general, functional, and interaction (compatibility) requirements for the subject device. Tests with an animal model evaluated performance based on comparative tissue approximation, hemostasis, and staple formation in accordance with its intended use. Design Validation results confirm the design modifications to the Stapler 45 Instrument do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness.

Summary:

The subject EndoWrist Stapler 45 System and Stapler 45 Reloads and the predicate EndoWrist Stapler 45 System and Stapler 45 Reloads (K113706) have the same intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, performance data, and utilize the same disposable accessories and instrument accessories. The results of the design verification and validation tests do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.

In conclusion, the EndoWrist Stapler 45 System and Stapler 45 Reloads described in this submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
