Intended Use

The Adeor Medical Non-stick Bipolar Forceps are intended for use by a physician familiar with electrosurgery in bipolar coagulation for general open surgery where coagulation of soft tissue is needed. Adeor bipolar forceps must be operated with the following parameters: Frequency range between 300 kHz and 1,000 kHZ; maximum generator operating voltage 600Vp.

The Adeor Medical Non-stick Bipolar Forceps have not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures and should not be used for these procedures.

The types of surgery intended include:

  • ENT
  • Gynecology (except for use in female sterilization)
  • Urology
  • General surgery
  • Neurosurgery
  • Laryngeal Surgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Thoracic Surgery
Device Description

The Adeor Medical AG Bipolar Forceps are electrosurgical instruments used to grasp, manipulate, cut or coagulate tissue. Bipolar forceps have various lengths and tip configurations, as well as irrigation and suction technologies. Both reusable and single-use forceps are available, with flat plug or two pin plug configurations. Bipolar forceps are connected through a suitable bipolar cable with the bipolar output of a high frequency generator and may be used only with bipolar coagulation current. Adeor bipolar forceps must be operated with the following parameters: Frequency range between 300 kHz and 1,000 kHz: maximum generator operating voltage 600Vn.

AI/ML Overview

This FDA 510(k) summary for the "Adeor Medical nxt Non-stick Bipolar Forceps" focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study proving a device meets specific performance acceptance criteria for an AI/ML medical device.

Therefore, I cannot create a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance, nor can I provide information on sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, or training set details, as this document does not contain data related to these aspects for an AI/ML product.

The document primarily discusses the physical characteristics, intended use, and non-clinical testing (electrical safety, wear, function (drop testing)) of surgical forceps, comparing them to legally marketed predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence.

The information provided in the document is about a traditional medical device (bipolar forceps), not an AI/ML device.

Dear Cassie Sopko:

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.

{1}------------------------------------------------

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) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) 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.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

Non-Clinical Testing:

Electrical Safety

Electrical Safety Testing was performed on the Adeor Bipolar Forceps per IEC 60601-2-2: 2017 Medical Electrical Equipment- Part 2-2: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of high frequency surgical equipment and high frequency surgical accessories. Isolation of active accessories, high-frequency leakage currents, high-frequency dielectric strength, and mains frequency dielectric strength testing was performed. Instruments did not show any signs of impairment or loss of mechanical function; therefore, testing was successfully completed.

Non-Clinical

Wear

The device is not manufactured from a novel material and does not contain articulating components. There is no concern for wear or debris.

Function

Drop testing was performed on the bipolar forceps to ensure that dropping the device will not cause damage to the device nor loss of functionality. Forceps were dropped multiple times and inspected for grasping capabilities, frequency output, and visual damage. All test articles met the acceptance criteria.

Mechanical Strength

Due to the high strength of the material and the low forces that the device may be subject to, there is no concern for mechanical strength of the forceps. Testing specific to the strength of the device is not necessary.

System Testing

The Adeor forceps are identical to the predicate in design, materials, manufacturing, manufacturer and function. No further performance testing is required.

Conclusion:

Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison with the predicate device, the subject device has demonstrated substantial equivalence.
