The description focuses on electromechanical control and surgeon-driven manipulation, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is described as assisting in the "accurate control of HX laparoscopic Instruments including needle holder and grasper, for endoscopic manipulation of tissue, including grasping, approximation, ligation, suturing, during laparoscopic surgical procedures." This description indicates it is used during surgical procedures to achieve a therapeutic effect (manipulation of tissue, suturing, etc.).
No
The device is described as an assistive tool for surgical procedures (manipulation of tissue, grasping, approximation, ligation, suturing) and does not mention any function related to diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the HX Device is electromechanically controlled and includes both hardware and software, comprising a Handpiece and an Instrument. It also details physical components like the Control Interface, Handpiece Body, and disposable parts.
Based on the provided information, the HX Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "endoscopic manipulation of tissue, including grasping, approximation, ligation, suturing, during laparoscopic surgical procedures." This describes a surgical instrument used directly on a patient's body during a procedure.
- Device Description: The description details a hand-held powered laparoscopic device with instruments like a grasper and needle holder. This aligns with surgical tools, not devices used to examine specimens outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on sample analysis
IVD devices are used to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. The HX Device is a surgical tool used to perform actions within the body during a procedure.

Device Description
The Human Extensions HX Device is a hand held powered laparoscopic device. The device enables, by its attached instruments grasper and needle holder, the surgeon to perform a variety of minimally invasive surgeries. As the device is controlled by the surgeon's hand, it acts as a "surgeon's hand extension", enhancing maneuverability and control.
The HX Device is electromechanically controlled and includes both hardware and software and comprises of two major parts, the Handpiece and the Instrument.
The HX Device Handpiece consists of a reusable Control Interface (CI) handle held by the surgeon and a Handpiece Body that translates the surgeon's maneuvers and movements of their hands by means of control buttons to the instrument-articulating tip (grasper/needle holder). Prior to use, a set of single use, disposable, sterile Power Cable, Arc, Finger Pads, and strap-adapting Spacer are assembled on the Handpiece and the CI unit.
In addition, prior to use, the Handpiece is covered with a standard, sterile cover (e.g., endoscopic camera cover) of at least 8.5 cm inner diameter. The sterile cover is not provided with the HX device.
After each use, the Handpiece is cleaned and disinfected according to the specifications detailed in the Instructions For Use.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Human Extensions HX Device is a hand held powered laparoscopic device. The device enables, by its attached instruments grasper and needle holder, the surgeon to perform a variety of minimally invasive surgeries. As the device is controlled by the surgeon's hand, it acts as a "surgeon's hand extension", enhancing maneuverability and control.
The HX Device is electromechanically controlled and includes both hardware and software and comprises of two major parts, the Handpiece and the Instrument.
The HX Device Handpiece consists of a reusable Control Interface (CI) handle held by the surgeon and a Handpiece Body that translates the surgeon's maneuvers and movements of their hands by means of control buttons to the instrument-articulating tip (grasper/needle holder). Prior to use, a set of single use, disposable, sterile Power Cable, Arc, Finger Pads, and strap-adapting Spacer are assembled on the Handpiece and the CI unit.
In addition, prior to use, the Handpiece is covered with a standard, sterile cover (e.g., endoscopic camera cover) of at least 8.5 cm inner diameter. The sterile cover is not provided with the HX device.
After each use, the Handpiece is cleaned and disinfected according to the specifications detailed in the Instructions For Use.
V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The HX Device is intended to assist in the accurate control of HX laparoscopic Instruments including needle holder and grasper, for endoscopic manipulation of tissue, including grasping, approximation, ligation, suturing, during laparoscopic surgical procedures. It is intended to be used by trained physicians in an operating room environment in accordance with its Instructions For Use.
VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
Human Extensions believes that the HX Device has the similar intended use and indications for use as the predicate devices and the reference device the da Vinci system. The instruments principles of operation and functionality characteristics are similar as well.
The HX Device Instrument, like the predicate, is inserted through a trocar to assist in procedures in which tissue grasping and suturing is needed under direct visualization. The Instruments for both devices have articulating design at the distal tip that mimics the human hand. The instruments of the HX Device are needle holder and grasper and performed the same tasks as the predicate devices.
Specifically, the use of electromechanical control systems, end-effectors, and degree of mechanical articulation, manipulation and mode of operation of the predicate device and the HX device are comparable.

The daVinci reference device and the HX Device share the same risk/benefit profile in regards to the cover (sterile drape) and cleaning and disinfection method.
Based on the above analysis, Human Extensions Ltd. believes that the HX Device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS
The HX Device has the same intended use as the predicate devices. The principal features of the device that were described, as well as the tests provided, show that the minor differences in the device characteristics between the subject device and predicate device do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Performance data. GLP animal study and software validation demonstrates that the HX Device performs as intended and, in a manner, that is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
Therefore, the device may be found substantially equivalent.
