Intended Use
The Swiss LithoClast Trilogy is indicated for fragmentation and removal of urinary tract calculi in the kidney, ureter, and bladder.
Device Description
The Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy is a modified version of the Swiss LithoClast® Master, previously cleared under K012445. As with the predicate device, three possible modes of operation are available: 1) pneumatic lithotripsy alone; 2) ultrasound lithotripsy alone; and 3) and combined pneumatic and ultrasound lithotripsy. The LithoClast Trilogy system consists of the console used to set the treatment parameters and generate the treatment energy, a reusable handpiece, and a variety of probe sizes to enable use of the system with a wide range of commercially available endoscopes. Delivery of energy is controlled using a twostep foot pedal. Two models of the LithoClast Trilogy are available: one with a peristaltic pump and one with a pinch valve. Both versions can be used to suction stone fragments into the optional Stone Catcher. An external vacuum system is required to enable suction with the pinch valve model of the console.
More Information

No
The summary describes a lithotripsy device with pneumatic and ultrasound modes, controlled by a console and foot pedal. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making processes. The performance studies focus on physical and electrical safety, biocompatibility, and sterilization, not AI/ML performance metrics.

Yes
The device is indicated for "fragmentation and removal of urinary tract calculi," which is a treatment for a medical condition.

No

This device is indicated for fragmentation and removal of urinary tract calculi, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a console, handpiece, probes, foot pedal, and optional pump/valve and stone catcher. While software verification and validation are mentioned, the device is fundamentally a hardware system with software control.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the fragmentation and removal of urinary tract calculi within the body (in the kidney, ureter, and bladder). IVD devices are used to examine specimens outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The device is a system that generates energy (pneumatic and ultrasound) and uses probes to physically break down stones. This is an interventional procedure performed on the patient, not a test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

The Swiss LithoClast Trilogy is a therapeutic device used for lithotripsy (stone fragmentation).

§ 876.4480 Electrohydraulic lithotriptor.

(a)
Identification. An electrohydraulic lithotriptor is an AC-powered device used to fragment urinary bladder stones. It consists of a high voltage source connected by a cable to a bipolar electrode that is introduced into the urinary bladder through a cystoscope. The electrode is held against the stone in a water-filled bladder and repeated electrical discharges between the two poles of the electrode cause electrohydraulic shock waves which disintegrate the stone.(b)
Classification. Class II. The special control for this device is FDA's “Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Intracorporeal Lithotripters.”

J. Conclusion

The information and testing presented in this 510(k) demonstrate that the modified Swiss LithoClast device, called the Trilogy, is substantially equivalent to the predicate Swiss LithoClast device, called the Master. The modified device has the same intended use, equivalent indications for use, and same fundamental scientific technology as compared to the predicate device. The test data submitted in the 510(k) demonstrate that the modified device is as safe and as effective as the predicate device and, therefore, can be found substantially equivalent.
