The device description mentions an "intelligence chip" that can communicate with compatible handles, but it does not specify the function of this chip or if it utilizes AI/ML. The rest of the summary focuses on mechanical and material aspects of the stapler reload.
No
The device is a reload for a surgical stapler used for resection and anastomosis, not a therapeutic device. It is an instrument used during surgery.
No
The device is a surgical stapler reload used for tissue resection and anastomosis during surgery. Its function is to join or divide tissue, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly details a physical medical device (stapler reload with staples and reinforcement material) and the performance studies involve bench and animal testing of this physical device. While it mentions an "intelligence chip" for communication, the core function and description are of 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 tissue resection and anastomosis in various surgical procedures. This is a therapeutic/surgical function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical device that places staples and reinforcement material. This aligns with a surgical instrument, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information. The device's function is purely mechanical and surgical.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
The Tri-Staple™ 2.0 reinforced reload places two triple-staggered rows of titanium staples and two layers of absorbable reinforcement material on either side of the cut line. The absorbable staple line reinforcement material, comprised of a synthetic polyester composed of pure glycolide, will be secured to the anvil and cartridge sides of the reload with four synthetic absorbable sutures. As the staples are deployed, the tissue and staple line reinforcement material are simultaneously divided. The Tri-Staple™ 2.0 reinforced reload is available in articulating 45 mm and 60 mm lengths. The size of the staples is determined by the selection of the 3.0-4.0mm or 4.0-5.0mm reload. The Tri-Staple™ 2.0 reinforced reload will contain an intelligence chip. The intelligence chip will have the ability to communicate with Covidien™ powered stapling handles that have a compatible communications interface.

- Insertion/removal force
- Firing Force
- Retraction Force
- Staple Formation
- Sequential Firings
- Perpendicular Firings
- L-Shaped Firings
In-vivo (Acute) Testing:
Acute In-vivo testing that supports the intended use of the device includes
- Atraumatic Testing
- Blood Loss Evaluation (hemostasis)
- Air Leak Evaluation
- Analysis of Staple line burst pressure
- Staple formation
In-vivo (Survival) Testing:
- Abdominal
- Thoracic

Dear Ms. Magnanimo:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
