More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical and electrical surgical instrument with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on biocompatibility, electrical safety, sterilization, and mechanical performance.

No.
The device is described as an instrument used for cutting and coagulation in surgical procedures, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as an instrument for cutting and coagulation in surgical procedures, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a sterile, single-use, invasive instrument used in laparoscopic surgery, which are physical hardware components.

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 "cutting and coagulation in endoscopic, gynecological, and general abdominal and thoracic and general laparoscopic procedures." This describes a surgical instrument used on the patient's body during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description further clarifies it's a "sterile, single-use, invasive instrument that used in laparoscopic surgery." This reinforces its role as a surgical tool.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health. The description and intended use of this device do not involve the analysis of biological specimens.

Therefore, the ArtiSential Laparoscopic Instruments-Electrodes, Monopolar Series are surgical instruments, not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

Dear Dong Lee:

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.

| Principles of
operation | It uses the principle of applying high-
frequency currents from the electrode
to the human body to generate heat by
bioimpedance when radio frequency
(RF) energy from the electrosurgical
unit applies an electric current to the
electrode part, and using the generated
heat to incise cellular tissues and cause
coagulation.
It is composed of a jaw (dissector or
Scissors type), Φ8 diameter shaft, grip
(including a control ring), and
electrosurgical unit connection
electrode connector.
During a procedure with this product,
the jaw opens if the control ring opens,
and jaw closes if the control ring
closes. In addition, the jaw is also bent
up, down, left and right within a range
of ±80° or more by moving the grip
up, down, left and right, and the jaw
can also turn 360° when rotating the
grip. | It uses the principle of applying high-

7.6 Thermal effect

Thermal effects on tissue were also tested. A histological analysis was performed on thermal effect to porcine tissues(liver, kidney and abdominal muscle) through an electrosurgical device.

Based on these performance characteristics, the results demonstrate that the performance requirements were met, the device performs as intended and that the subject device has substantially equivalent performance characteristics to the predicate devices.

8. Substantial Equivalence

ArtiSential Laparoscopic Instruments-Electrodes, Monopolar Series(two versions, one for Dissector and the other for Scissors) indication for use is as same as the predicate device (K203580). The energy type, electrode type, sterilization as well as similar physical characteristics are the same. Although there are some minor differences with each product, these differences between the ArtiSential Monopolar Series and the predicate device do not raise new or different questions of safety and efficacy. There is no new technology and no difference that would raise new or different questions of safety or efficacy.

9. Conclusions

In conclusion, the comparison carried out covers all products, models, sizes, and the entire intended purpose of the device under evaluation. The subject device which is the ArtiSential Laparoscopic Instruments-Electrodes, Monopolar Series(two versions, one for Dissector and the other for Scissors) are considerably as same as the predicate and the reference device in principles of operation, technological characteristics, as well as performance characteristics. The testing was conducted to evaluate the performance of subject device in comparison to the predicate and the reference device. Results of validation and verification activities in design control that include testing/certification to designated standards and performance testing of the devices has demonstrated substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate in terms of safety and effectiveness for requested intended use.
