No
The summary describes a surgical hand instrument with different modes for cutting, sealing, coagulation, grasping, and dissection. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology that would typically indicate the presence of AI/ML. The performance studies are bench and animal testing focused on the physical performance of the device (burst pressure, temperature, seal maintenance, thermal spread).

Yes

The device directly performs actions like cutting, sealing, and coagulating vessels and tissues to treat conditions during surgery.

No
The device is described as a surgical instrument used for cutting, sealing, coagulating, grasping, and dissecting tissues and vessels. Its functions are therapeutic/interventional, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "hand instrument" and a "functional device capable of vessel sealing & cutting, tissue coagulating & cutting, grasping, and dissecting," indicating it is a physical hardware device used in surgery.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The THUNDERBEAT Open Fine Jaw Type X hand instrument is a surgical tool used during open surgery to physically cut, seal, coagulate, grasp, and dissect tissue and vessels. It operates directly on the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes surgical procedures and actions performed on the patient, not analysis of samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a functional surgical device for direct use in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or any other activities associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the THUNDERBEAT Open Fine Jaw Type X hand instrument is a surgical device, not an IVD.

Product Description

THUNDERBEAT Open Fine Jaw Type X hand instrument is intended to be used for open surgery to cut, seal, coagulate, grasp, and dissect.

The THUNDERBEAT Open Fine Jaw Type X hand instrument is provided as a sterile, single use device. The subject device is functional device capable of vessel sealing & cutting, tissue coagulating & cutting, grasping, and dissecting. This device has been designed to seal and cut vessels up to and including 7 mm in diameter, tissue bundles, and lymphatics. This device also has been designed for open ENT procedures in adults.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The basic principle and operational characteristics of the subject device are identical to the predicate device. The proposed THUNDERBEAT Open Fine Jaw Type X Hand Instrument is equivalent to the predicate device in that each device is connected to Surgical Tissue Management System, specifically the ESG-400 Electrosurgical Generator, USG-400 Ultrasonic Generator and THUNDERBEAT Transducer (TD-TB400). Like the predicate device, the subject device activates combined HF Bipolar (FineCoag) output and Ultrasonic output [Seal & Cut mode] simultaneously or only the HF Bipolar output (Seal mode) while grasping vessels, tissue bundles and lymphatics between the Probe and the H electrode in the Grasping section.

5

In terms of the design concept of the subject device, the differences from the predicate device are as follows:

  • Addition of the Radical Neck Dissection indication
  • Removal of generator specific information from indications for use
  • Adding resin cover (PEEK) on the H electrode
  • Changing a material of H electrode in the grasping section and Sheath cover

A side by side comparison of the subject device and the predicate device is provided below.

Clinical testing was not performed.

Substantial Equivalence

The subject and predicate device have the same fundamental technology. Compared with the primary predicate device (K151743), the subject device proposes the expanded indication of Radical Neck Dissection; the removal of generator specific information from indications for use; a design modification that includes a resin cover (PEEK) addition on the electrode; and the material change of H electrode and Sheath cover. The secondary predicate device (K113572) is being used for the expanded indication of Radical Neck Dissection. To support the proposed modifications, the performance tests summarized above were conducted.
