Intended Use
KARL STORZ New Generation Trocars are intended to be used during endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures in general surgery and thoracoscopy in adult and pediatric patients to create and maintain a port of entry.
Device Description
The KARL STORZ New Generation Trocars provide a port of entry during endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures in pediatric and adult patients. The New Generation Trocars are available in diameters 2.5mm to 13.5mm and consist of a cannula, trocar, and a valve seal. The trocars combine single-use and reusable components since the valve seal is single use while the cannula and trocar are reusable components. The trocars are color coded by size and are available with pyramidal, conical, or conical-blunt tips. Reducers can be used to reduce the size of the trocar to accommodate a smaller instrument without losing pneumoperitoneum.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and material properties, with no mention of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device acts as a port of entry for other instruments and does not itself treat or provide therapy.

No

This device, a trocar, is used to create and maintain a port of entry for instruments during surgical procedures. Its function is to provide access, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (cannula, trocar, valve seal) and mentions bench testing related to mechanical properties and biocompatibility, indicating it is a hardware device. The statement "The subject device does not require... software validation documentation" further confirms it is not a software-only 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 that the trocars are used "during endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures... to create and maintain a port of entry." This describes a surgical instrument used in vivo (within the body) to facilitate access for other instruments.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of the trocar (cannula, trocar, valve seal) and their function in creating and maintaining a port. This aligns with a surgical access device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body), such as blood, tissue, or other bodily fluids, for diagnostic purposes. The device does not perform tests or provide diagnostic information based on biological samples.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely mechanical and procedural, not diagnostic.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Dear AnnaLisa Smullin:

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, 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820);

Data: | Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence to
the predicate device. Non-clinical bench testing was sufficient to assess
safety and effectiveness and to establish the substantial equivalence. |
| Medical
Literature: | The following real world evidence (literature) was used to support the use
of the KARL STORZ New Generation Trocars in a pediatric population as
well as to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the subject device and
its substantial equivalence to the predicate: Blinman, T. & Ponsky, T. Pediatric Minimally Invasive Surgery:
