No
The document describes a traditional ultrasonic surgical aspirator and does not mention any AI or ML components in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is indicated for use in surgical procedures for fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration of tissue, and its clinical evidence describes its effectiveness in treating various conditions like dysplasia, condyloma, and tumors, aiming for desired treatment outcomes.
No
The device is an ultrasonic surgical aspirator used for fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration of soft and hard tissue during surgical procedures. Its function is to remove unwanted tissue, not to diagnose conditions.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a console, handpieces, footswitch, surgical tips, irrigation flues, and a suction/irrigation system.
Based on the provided information, the CUSA® Clarity Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical device used for fragmenting, emulsifying, and aspirating tissue during surgical procedures. This is a therapeutic and surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
- Device Description: The device description details a surgical tool with ultrasonic vibration, irrigation, and aspiration functions. It is designed to interact directly with tissue within the patient's body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status. The device's function is to remove tissue, not to diagnose conditions based on sample analysis.
Therefore, the CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System is a surgical device, not an IVD.

Device Description
The CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System (CUSA Clarity) is an ultrasonically vibrating surgical device which, in combination with irrigation and aspiration, fragments, emulsifies and removes unwanted tissue. It allows the selective dissection of target tissue while preserving vessels, ducts and other delicate structures. The CUSA Clarity consists of a console that provides power and control of the ultrasonic, aspiration and irrigation functions, two surgical handpieces that provide ultrasonic mechanical energy (23 kHz and 36 kHz), a footswitch to allow user control over the ultrasonics, titanium surgical tips (variety of models), irrigation flues, suction/irrigation system (manifold tubing and vacuum canister) and accessories used for assembly/disassembly and reprocessing. The CUSA Clarity may also be optionally used with the CUSA Electrosurgical Modules which provide optional electrosurgical capability.

An analysis of peer-reviewed articles on the use of CUSA in Gynecological Surgeries was provided as clinical evidence to support the revision to the indications for use of CUSA in Gynecological surgery (1,465 patients in 54 articles published between 1988 and 2023).
Specifically, in the literature, CUSA was used to treat 272 patients with dysplasia or condyloma, 630 patients requiring debulking procedures, and 18 patients with endometriosis.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Clinical study based on peer-reviewed articles. Sample size of 1,465 patients in 54 articles published between 1988 and 2023 from the clinical literature analysis.
Key results: CUSA was able to perform the procedures effectively with desired treatment outcomes. In condyloma cases, CUSA was successful in achieving desired treatment outcomes. In the clinical literature, use of CUSA also did not result in significant postoperative complications or scarring. The provided articles demonstrated the safe and effective use of CUSA in debulking ovarian cancer, as well as metastases from endometrial cancer, tubal adenocarcinoma, and peritoneal tumors. Articles reported both increased and decreased procedure durations when CUSA was used. One article noted risk of DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation); however, no other studies found such a risk of DIC in a CUSA population of 1,465 patients. In cases where endometrial tissue was removed, CUSA effectively removed the endometrial tissue while preserving vessels and nerves.

807.92(a)(6) Summary of the technological characteristics of the device compared to the predicate
endometriosis
The technological characteristics of the device are the same compared to the predicate device. There are no technological or design changes in the subject device compared to the predicate device. The change included in this submission is an addition of the specific gynecological surgery indication.
807.92(b) (1-2) – Nonclinical and clinical tests submitted
No non-clinical testing was provided as the subject device design was not modified from the predicate device.
The labeling is developed in accordance with the FDA guidance, "Product Labeling for

Certain Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator Devices."
An analysis of peer-reviewed articles on the use of CUSA in Gynecological Surgeries was provided as clinical evidence to support the revision to the indications for use of CUSA in Gynecological surgery (1,465 patients in 54 articles published between 1988 and 2023).
Specifically, in the literature, CUSA was used to treat 272 patients with dysplasia or condyloma, 630 patients requiring debulking procedures, and 18 patients with endometriosis. CUSA was able to perform the procedures effectively with desired treatment outcomes.
Likewise, in condyloma cases, CUSA was successful in achieving desired treatment outcomes. In the clinical literature, use of CUSA also did not result in significant postoperative complications or scarring.
The provided articles demonstrated the safe and effective use of CUSA in debulking ovarian cancer, as well as metastases from endometrial cancer, tubal adenocarcinoma, and peritoneal tumors. Articles reported both increased and decreased procedure durations when CUSA was used. One article noted risk of DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation); however, no other studies found such a risk of DIC in a CUSA population of 1,465 patients.
In cases where endometrial tissue was removed, CUSA effectively removed the endometrial tissue while preserving vessels and nerves.
807.92(b)(3) – Conclusions drawn from non-clinical and clinical data
The information from the peer reviewed clinical literature supports that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
