The document explicitly states that the software systems are running on microcontrollers and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The focus is on standard software validation and hardware components for surgical procedures.
Yes
The device is designed for surgical procedures like shaving, burring, cutting, and resecting of tissues, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
Explanation: The EBERLE shaver system is designed for surgical procedures like shaving, burring, cutting, and resecting of tissue and bone. Its function is to physically remove material, not to diagnose a condition or provide diagnostic information.
No
The device is a powered instrument system consisting of hardware components (control unit, footswitch, handpiece, accessories) and software. While the control unit contains software, the device as a whole is not software-only.
Based on the provided text, the EBERLE shaver system C3 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "arthroscopy surgical procedures like shaving, burring, cutting and resecting of fibrous tissue, cartilage tissue and bone." This describes a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.
- Device Description: The description details a powered instrument system with components like a control unit, footswitch, handpiece, and shaver blades. These are all physical tools used in surgery.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device, such as:
- Analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.) outside the body.
- Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis.
- Reagents or test kits.
- Measurement of biological markers.
The EBERLE shaver system C3 is a surgical instrument used for mechanical manipulation of tissue and bone during arthroscopic procedures. This falls under the category of surgical devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

VI INDICATIONS FOR USE
The EBERLE Shaver System C3 is a powered instrument system and consists of a control unit, a footswitch, a handpiece and accessories. It is designed for arthroscopy surgical procedures like shaving, burring, abrading, cutting and resecting of fibrous tissue, cartilage tissue and bone.
The EBERLE Shaver System accessories are designed to be used with the EBERLE Shaver System for arthroscopy surgical procedures like shaving, burring, abrading, cutting, drilling and resecting of fibrous tissue, cartilage tissue and bone.
VII COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The EBERLE Shaver System C2 and Shaver Blades and the EBERLE Shaver System accessories are the predicate devices for the EBERLE Shaver System C3 and shaver blades.
Both Eberle Shaver Systems and Shaver Blades are designed, developed and manufactured using the same general design principles and similar mechanical and electrical components.
They have the same intended use and incorporate the same basic design. Specifically, both the EBERLE Shaver System C2 and the EBERLE Shaver System C3 and shaver blades are used for arthroscopy surgical procedures like shaving, burring, abrading, cutting, drilling and resecting of fibrous tissue, cartilage tissue and bone.
Software and Hardware
The EBERLE Shaver System C3 has additional software functionalities (rotation and frequency based oscillation modus, increased max. speed of 10.000 min-1, improved rpm accuracy of +/- 5%, functionality of buttons of the footswitch and handpiece can be free assigned) when compared to the EBERLE Shaver System C2. In addition the two handpiece connectors are identical. Both connectors can used for all EBERLE handpieces.
The EBERLE Shaver System C3 utilizes a new faster processors - (model name: Atmel ATxmega256A3U). The programing languages C was utilized for both the EBERLE Shaver System C2 and EBERLE Shaver System C3.
7
Handpieces
The EBERLE Shaver system handpieces for the C2 and C3 system are available with stainless steel or aluminum housing. The housing design was optimized for the C3 handpieces to reduce the weight. The main benefit of the handpieces with stainless steel housing is the higher resistance against potential mechanical damage. The hand pieces with an aluminum housing are lighter. The handpieces are available with and without control buttons. The functionalities are identical. The connector cable was changed to adapt to the new connectors of the C3 control units.
The brushless DC motors used in the C2 and C3 handpieces use identical materials and are identical in design components. The handpieces for the C3 are using a new gearbox to reach higher rotational speed (rpm; 10.000 min-1).
Adapter
Eberle has added new adapter made of the same material than the previous cleared adapter under the predicated device. The new adapters are designed to adapt more closer to selected drill or wire diameter. In addition a drill chuck adapters is offered with key less fixation.
The universal handpiece can be used with the following adapters:
- Drill chuck adapter, high-power, 0.7-7.4 mm ●
- Drill chuck adapter, 0-3.0 mm, keyless ●
- Sagittal saw adapter ●
- o Wire driver adapter, 1.8-3.2mm
- Drill chuck adapter 0.7-7.4 mm ●
- Wire driver adapter, 0.6-1.8 mm ●
The method of operations and the design are substantial equivalent.
Footswitch
The footswitch for the C2 has four buttons. The functionalities were preassign and programed to the buttons. The oscillation mode was activated by pressing two button's at the same time. The footswitch used for the C3 has five buttons. The functionalities can be freely assigned to the buttons. The additional button can be used to activate the oscillation mode.

Conclusion
The differences in the technological characteristics of both the predicate devices and the proposed device EBERLE Shaver System C2 and shaver blades and the EBERLE Shaver System Accessories and the EBERLE Shaver System C3 and shaver blades are minor and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Both the EBERLE Shaver System C2 and shaver blades and the EBERLE Shaver System Accessories and the EBERLE Shaver System C3 and shaver slades are designed to be used with compatible shavers from Eberle.
