The description details a motorized surgical device with a control unit, handpiece, blades, and telescope for tissue resection. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate the use of such technologies. The performance studies focus on mechanical, electrical, and reprocessing standards, and comparison to predicate devices based on cutting and optical performance.
Yes
The device is intended for hysteroscopic resection and removal of intrauterine tissue for diagnostic and surgical procedures, which are therapeutic interventions.
Yes
The HOPKINS Telescope component of the system is explicitly stated to be intended for "viewing of the cervical canal and uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures."
No
The device description clearly lists multiple hardware components including a control unit, footswitch, handpiece, shaver blades, telescope, and obturator. While software is mentioned in the testing section, the device is fundamentally a hardware system with software control.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "hysteroscopically resect and remove tissue" and "permit viewing of the cervical canal and uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures." This describes a surgical and visualization tool used within the body, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description details a motorized surgical system with a handpiece, shaver blades, and a telescope for viewing and tissue removal. This aligns with a surgical device, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples in vitro), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.
Therefore, the UNIDRIVE SIII System is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
