No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical functions and compatibility, with no mention of AI/ML terms or capabilities.
Yes
The device is used for surgical procedures like suction, decompression, drainage, irrigation, leak testing, and as a sizing guide, all of which are direct therapeutic interventions or support therapeutic procedures.
Yes.
The device is used "to test for leaks," which is a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical tube with a closed tip, holes, an integral suction regulator, and a vented On/Off slide valve. It also mentions an optional squeeze bulb with a pressure gauge. These are all hardware components, not software.
Based on the provided information, 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 description of the ViSiGi 3D clearly indicates it is a surgical device used during gastric and bariatric procedures. Its functions involve physical actions within the body (suction, drainage, irrigation, sizing, leak testing).
- Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing samples taken from the body. Its purpose is to interact directly with the gastric system during surgery.
Therefore, the ViSiGi 3D falls under the category of a surgical instrument or device, not an in vitro diagnostic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
ViSiGi 3D is indicated for use in gastric and bariatric surgical procedures for the application of suction, stomach decompression, drainage of gastric fluids, irrigation, to test for leaks, and to serve as a sizing guide.

Device Description
ViSiGi® 3D is a non-sterile, single patient use device comprises a tube with a closed, rounded tip, and holes at the distal end. The tubes are supplied in three separate diameters: 32 French, 36 French, and 40 French. The proximal end of ViSiGi® 3D includes an integral suction regulator and vented On/Off slide valve. The device is supplied packaged in a sealed, labeled, poly bag. A squeeze bulb with an integral pressure gauge that can connect to the proximal end of the ViSiGi® 3D tube is an optional component compatible with the ViSiGi® 3D.
ViSiGi® 3D is used during gastric and bariatric surgical procedures to aid the surgeon in modifying the patient anatomy. It is inserted into the stomach via the esophagus under supervision of the surgeon. It may be used to perform the following functions: application of suction, stomach decompression, delivery of fluids, gastric drainage, leak testing, and to serve as a sizing guide.

13.5 Device Description
VISIG1® 3D is a non-sterile, single patient use device comprises a tube with a closed, rounded tip, and holes at the distal end. The tubes are supplied in three separate diameters: 32 French, 36 French, and 40 French. The proximal end of ViSiGi® 3D includes an integral suction regulator and vented On/Off slide valve. The device is supplied packaged in a sealed, labeled, poly bag. A squeeze bulb with an integral pressure gauge that can connect to the proximal end of the ViSiGi® 3D tube is an optional component compatible with the ViSiGi® 3D.
VISIGi® 3D is used during gastric and bariatric surgical procedures to aid the surgeon in modifying the patient anatomy. It is inserted into the stomach via the esophagus under supervision of the surgeon. It may be used to perform the following functions: application of suction, stomach decompression, delivery of fluids, gastric drainage, leak testing, and to serve as a sizing guide.
13.6 Intended Use
ViSiGi® 3D is intended for use in gastric and bariatric surgical procedures performed in surgery centers or hospitals. VISiGI® 3D is indicated for the application of suction, stomach decompression, drainage of gastric fluids, irrigation, to test for leaks, and to serve as a sizing guide.
The Inclusion of "to test for leaks" for ViSiGi® 3D differs from the indication cleared for the primary predicate device in Submission K130483 and is the basis of this Special 510(k) submission. "To test for leaks" is included in the indications for use of reference device Endolumik cleared per Submission K222880. Use of ViSiGi® 3D for leak testing allows the surgeon to more efficiently assess staple line integrity intraoperatively and does not impact the procedures overall safety and effectiveness or the intended use of the device to assist in completion of gastric and bariatric surgery.
13.7 Technological Characteristics Comparison
VISIGi® 3D is technologically identical to the primary predicate device as no design changes are reguired as a result of this special 510(k). The only change to the device is the addition of "to test for leaks" to the indication for use statement.
