Device Description
The Universal Seal (5-12 mm) is a sterile, single-use device. It provides a seal within a port of entry for endoscopes, instruments, and accessories with a diameter range between 5 mm and 12 mm. It also provides an attachment for insufflation accessories and allows for air to flow in or out of the body cavity while minimizing gas leakage.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and biocompatibility aspects of a trocar seal, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
Explanation: This device is described as providing a port of entry and a seal for endoscopic instruments, and for managing gas flow during procedures. Its function is to facilitate surgical procedures, not to treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device description clearly states its function is to "provide a port of entry for endoscopic instruments" and to "provide a seal within a port of entry for endoscopes, instruments, and accessories." Additionally, the performance studies section focuses on biocompatibility, not diagnostic accuracy. There is no mention of it collecting data, processing images, or providing any form of diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, single-use device that provides a seal and attachment for insufflation accessories, indicating it is a physical hardware component.

Based on the provided information, the da Vinci Trocar is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide a port of entry for endoscopic instruments" in surgical procedures. This is a surgical tool used during a procedure, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on its function as a seal and a port for instruments and insufflation. It doesn't mention any analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological specimens.
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
    • Using reagents or assays.

The da Vinci Trocar is a surgical instrument used to facilitate minimally invasive surgery.

(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope.

Dear Taian Chen:

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 (the 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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
