Intended Use
The easyLCTM Linear Cutter Staplers and Loading Units for Single Use have application in gastrointestinal for transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses. The easyCSTM Circular Stapler for Single Use has applications throughout the alimentary for end to side and side to side anastomoses.
Device Description
The easyLCTM Linear Cutter Staplers and Loading Units for Single Use place two double staggered rows of titanium staples and simultaneously cut and divides tissue between the two double rows. The device is available in 60mm, 80mm length with reload in 2.5mm, 3.8mm and 4.8mm staple size to accommodate various tissue thicknesses. The device may be reloaded and fired up to 8 times in a single procedure. The easyCS™ Circular Stapler for Single Use places a double staggered, circular row of titanium staples upon activation, which was achieved by squeezing the handles firmly as far as they could go. Immediately after formation of the staples, the excess tissue will be resect by the circular knife, and then a circular anastomosis is created. The stapler is available in 21mm, 29mm, 31mm and 33mm five specifications. Two staple sizes (3.5mm and 4.8mm) are available to accommodate various tissue thicknesses.
More Information

Not Found

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

Yes.
The device is used for surgical procedures involving tissue transection, resection, and creation of anastomoses in the gastrointestinal tract, which are therapeutic medical interventions.

No

This device is a surgical stapler used for cutting and joining tissue, not for diagnosis. Its intended use is for transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses in gastrointestinal and alimentary applications.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components (staplers, loading units, staples, circular knife) and performance studies involve bench testing on physical tissue, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the devices are for "transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses" and "end to side and side to side anastomoses" in the gastrointestinal and alimentary tracts. These are surgical procedures performed on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details mechanical devices that place staples and cut tissue. This is consistent with surgical instruments, not devices used to test samples 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 derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical tool used directly on the patient during a procedure.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non clinical tests were conducted to verify that the proposed device met all design specifications as was Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device. The test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the following standards:

  • ISO 10993-1:2009 Biological evaluation of medical devices- Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process.
  • ISO 10993-5:2009 Biological evaluation of medical devices-Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity.
  • ISO 10993-10:2010 Biological evaluation of medical devices- Part 10: Test for irritation and delayed-type hypersensitivity
  • USP 38-NF 33 Bacterial Endotoxins Tests
  • ASTM F 88/F88M-09 Standard test method for seal strength of flexible barrier materials;
  • ISO 11137-2:2013 Sterilization of health care products -Radiation- Part 2: Establishing the sterilization dose
  • USP 39-NF 34 Pyrogen

Bench test was conducted on porcine stomach and intestine for both proposed device and predicate device to determine substantially equivalence. The bench tests include following tests

  • Pressure Resistance Test
  • Closed Staple Dimension Test
  • Staple Formation Test
  • Force Required to Fire Stapler Test

Biocompatibility test was conducted on the proposed device, the test include cytotoxicity, irritation, skin sensitization and pyrogenicity.

Dear Ms. Hong:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

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

1

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) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
