The document describes a mechanical surgical stapler and its associated reloads. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven decision-making or analysis. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties and tissue interaction.
Yes
The device is described as a stapler and reloads intended for transection and resection in surgical procedures, as well as the creation of anastomoses, which are all therapeutic actions.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a stapler and reloads intended for transection and resection of tissue, which are surgical procedures, not diagnostic ones. The mentions of "transecting tissue" and "creation of anastomoses" confirm its purpose as a surgical tool for cutting and joining tissue.
No
The device description clearly details a physical stapler and stainless steel staples, 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 describes a surgical stapling device used for transection, resection, and creation of anastomoses within the body during surgical procedures. This is an in vivo application.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical stapling device that physically cuts and staples tissue. This is a surgical instrument, not a device used to examine specimens 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.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device operates directly on tissue within the body during surgery.

Device Description
Each MicroCutter 30 Reload contains two double rows of 316L stainless steel staples. The size of the MicroCutter 30 Blue Reload and MicroCutter 30 Curved Tip Blue Reload staple is compatible with tissue that can be easily compressed to 1.5mm. The size of the MicroCutter30 White Reload and MicroCutter 30 Curved Tip White Reload staple is compatible with tissue that can be easily compressed to 1.0mm. If tissue cannot comfortably compress to the Maximum Tissue Thickness listed for each reload, or easily compresses to less than the Maximum Tissue Thickness listed for each reload, the tissue is contraindicated as it may be too thick or too thin for the selected staple size. The cut length of the staple line is 28.0mm (1.10in) and the staple line length is 30mm long. The MicroCutter 30 Reloads are deployed using the Dextera MicroCutter 5/80TM Stapler. The MicroCutter 5/80 Stapler is a single patient use stapler that delivers two, double staggered rows of 316L stainless steel staples while simultaneously transecting tissue between staple rows.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Chronic animal studies, previously submitted by Dextera Surgical (K151081), were conducted in which unilateral nephrectomies and unilateral lobectomies were performed comparing the Dextera Surgical subject staple and the predicate Ethicon staple. The endpoints of the studies were met with no demonstrable differences noted between the subject devices and the predicate devices. Non-clinical performance data was also previously submitted (K151081) in which the Dextera Surgical subject staple and the Ethicon predicate staple were compared during Tissue Burst Pressure testing in porcine arteries. The test data demonstrated the subject devices to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Functional performance testing was conducted using the subject staple and the predicate staple on porcine veins during Tissue Burst Pressure testing. The testing simulated transection of vessels as may be encountered during surgery on solid organs. The results demonstrated the subject devices to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

G. Indications for Use
The MicroCutter 5/80 Stapler and MicroCutter 30 White, Blue, and Curved Tip White and Blue Reloads are intended for transection and resection in multiple open or minimally invasive urologic, thoracic, and pediatric surgical procedures, as well as application for transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses in the small and large intestine, and the transection of the appendix.
The MicroCutter 5/80 Stapler and MicroCutter 30 White and Curved Tip White Reloads may additionally be used in conjunction with open solid organ parenchymal dissection techniques on veins 4-5 mm in diameter and arteries 3-7 mm in diameter.
H. Comparison to Predicate Device
A comparison of the subject devices to the predicate devices demonstrates that the devices have the same intended use, which is to transect, resect and create anastomoses in patients during surgery in a variety of surgical procedures including urologic, thoracic, pediatric, and intestinal surgery. Additionally, they have the same mechanism of action and similar technologies given both the subject and the predicate devices achieve their intended use by means of cartridge based metal staples that are delivered using stapling devices.
Chronic animal studies, previously submitted by Dextera Surgical (K151081), were conducted in which unilateral nephrectomies and unilateral lobectomies were performed comparing the Dextera Surgical subject staple and the predicate Ethicon staple. The endpoints of the studies were met with no demonstrable differences noted between the subject devices and the predicate devices. Non-clinical performance data was also previously submitted (K151081) in which the Dextera Surgical subject staple and the Ethicon predicate staple were compared during Tissue Burst Pressure testing in porcine arteries. The test data demonstrated the subject devices to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
I. Performance Data
Non-Clinical Performance Data
Functional performance testing was conducted using the subject staple and the predicate staple on porcine veins during Tissue Burst Pressure testing. The testing simulated transection of vessels as may be encountered during surgery on solid organs. The results demonstrated the subject devices to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
J. Conclusion
The subject devices and the predicate devices have intended use and similar indications for use. Additionally, the subject devices and the predicate devices have the same mechanism of action and utilize similar technologies. Functional performance testing (Tissue Burst Pressure) was conducted with the results demonstrating the subject
5
devices to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Thus, based on the data and the comparison of the devices, the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
