Intended Use
The Plasma Edge System single use bipolar resection electrodes are used for the ablation and hemostasis of tissues under endoscopic control, in association with endoscopic accessories. They are intended for endoscopic surgeries with saline irrigation, in the field of urology. The use of the Plasma Edge System is restricted to surgeons, specialized in urological surgery, for specific use in: - Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hypertrophy - Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) or bladder neck - Transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) - Cystodiathermy • Transurethral Vaporization of the prostate (TUVP/TVP) for benign prostatic hypertrophy, and for Transurethral Vaporization of bladder tumors. (MVVS and MVV models only)
Device Description
The Plasma Edge system is a manual surgical device, consisting of a single-use electrode with cable range, an active and passive working element reusable and an adaptor to an HFgenerator compatible. The electrodes consist of an active tip, two wires threaded through ceramic tubes to connect the active tip to the body of the loop, allowing the HF energy to reach the active tip. It has to be used with continuous flow irrigation of saline solution (NaCl 0,9%) that reachesthe operative site through a resectoscope. The HF energy delivered from the generator tothe electrode ionizes the gas of the saline solution, creating a plasma for the cutting, coagulation and vaporization of tissues.

No
The description focuses on the manual operation and the physical mechanism of plasma generation for tissue ablation and hemostasis, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes

Explanation: The device is used for the "ablation and hemostasis of tissues" and "cutting, coagulation and vaporization of tissues" in procedures like "Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP)" and "Transurethral Vaporization of the prostate (TUVP/TVP)", which are all therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is described as a surgical tool used for ablation, hemostasis, cutting, coagulation, and vaporization of tissues, not for identifying or diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "manual surgical device, consisting of a single-use electrode with cable range, an active and passive working element reusable and an adaptor to an HFgenerator compatible." This clearly indicates the presence of physical hardware components, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "ablation and hemostasis of tissues under endoscopic control" and for "endoscopic surgeries with saline irrigation." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a "manual surgical device" used for "cutting, coagulation and vaporization of tissues." This is consistent with a surgical tool, not a device that analyzes samples taken from the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform such tests on samples.

The device is a surgical instrument used during a surgical procedure on the patient, not a device used to analyze samples outside the body.

Product Description .. "

The Plasma Edge system is a manual surgical device, consisting of a single-use electrode with cable range, an active and passive working element reusable and an adaptor to an HFgenerator compatible.

The electrodes consist of an active tip, two wires threaded through ceramic tubes to connect the active tip to the body of the loop, allowing the HF energy to reach the active tip.

It has to be used with continuous flow irrigation of saline solution (NaCl 0,9%) that reachesthe operative site through a resectoscope. The HF energy delivered from the generator tothe electrode ionizes the gas of the saline solution, creating a plasma for the cutting, coagulation and vaporization of tissues.

a. Electrodes range:

The list of electrodes is divided in 2 ranges: SIDE LOAD and FRONT LOAD.

The SIDE LOAD range is composed by 3 electrodes with 3 actives tips: thin, thick or vaporization. The SIDE LOAD electrodes are dedicated to being used with working element compatible with STORZ and OLYMPUS resectoscope.

The FRONT LOAD range is composed by 3 electrodes with 3 actives tips: thin, thick or vaporization. The FRONT LOAD electrodes are dedicated to being used with working element compatible with OLYMPUS resectoscope.

Each range got is specific way to be assembly into the working element. The only physical difference between both ranges is the electrode cable connexion.

End user can be used to both versions, so we decided to offer the choice between them.

b. Working element range:

The working elements will be divided in 2 families: side load connection and front load connection. According to the working element families, the compatibility with resectoscope brands differs:

  • SIDE LOAD connection: compatible with STORZ and OLYMPUS resectoscope.
  • FRONT LOAD connection: compatible with OLYMPUS resectoscope.

Electrodes are mechanically connected into a working element, used to move the electrode by a linear translation.

  • With an active working element, action is pulling the electrode
  • With a passive working element, action is pushing the electrode

c. Adaptor:

This will allow to connect the Plasma EDGE electrode range to a bipolar HF generator system.

  • The method of use (compatibility working element, conductive media, etc...) .
  • . The material characteristics
  • The modification of the packaging material and packaging process did not change the ● technological characteristics, the design nor fundamental operating principles of modified device compared to the predicate. The modification of the packaging material and packaging process were validated and did not lead to the identification of any new risk.

Since the indications for use and the technological characteristics are the same between the predicate device and the modified device subject of this Special 510(k), the modified device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Conclusion: vi.

There is no difference between the Plasma EDGE resection system and the predicate devices in terms of intended use, principle of operation, and the technology used for device performance based upon the changes reported in this Special 510(k). In other words, there is no difference technically, clinically and biologically from the predicate.

The Plasma EDGE resection system was subjected to verification testing to confirm device performance. There is no new technology and differences that would raise new or different questions of safety or efficiency. Comparative performance testing demonstrate that the device performed as well as, or better than, the predicate device.
