The summary describes a robotic surgical system with motion scaling and wristed instruments, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or specific sections for AI/ML mentions or training/test data.
No.
The Symani Surgical System is an instrument used for soft tissue manipulation during surgery, not a device that directly provides therapy or medical treatment.
No
The device is described as a surgical system for manipulating soft tissue during microsurgery, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Symani Surgical System consists of three hardware components: the CMM, Console, and Instruments. This indicates it is a hardware-based system with integrated software, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The Symani Surgical System is described as a surgical system for manipulating soft tissue, performing anastomosis, suturing, and ligation during microsurgery. It is used during surgical procedures on the patient's body, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples, chemical reactions, or diagnostic testing.
Therefore, the Symani Surgical System falls under the category of a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
Symani is designed to provide surgeons with increased precision while leveraging the surgeon's own surgical experiences. The Symani Surgical System consists of three components, the CMM, Console, and Instruments, with selectable scaling factors between 7x to 20x to improve motion control and scale down any physiological tremor of the operator in a similar fashion to conventional robotic-assisted surgical device (RASD) systems, and the instruments with wristed end-effectors to improve dexterity for tissue manipulation and suturing. The subject device has the same intended use and indications for use, and same technological characteristics as the predicate device, DEN230032.
The Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut instrument has been added to the NanoWrist Instruments' portfolio.

Dear Zainab Amini:
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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

vi. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The technological characteristics of the subject and predicate devices remain the same in this submission. As the instruments are similar to the predicate device, the differences between the subject and predicate devices are the addition of the small blade and reduced size for the current Symani instruments (Micro Needle Holder Suture Cut and Supermicro Needle Holder), therefore, the addition of the new Instrument to the Symani Surgical System range of Instruments (i.e., the Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut). More specifically, the Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut design is the same as the current Supermicro Needle holder with the addition features of the small (micro) blade mounted on the driving tip.
vii. PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance tests were conducted and submitted within this submission for a determination of substantial equivalence of the new Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut compared to the current instruments:
- -Simulated use test
- -Gripping force & torque
- Structural integrity tests -
villi. CONCLUSION
Based on the information provided within this submission, and comparison of the subject vs. predicate device, the subject device Symani Surgical System has the same intended use and indications for use, and technological characteristics as the predicate device. The performance testing provided within this submission for the introduction of Symani Surgical System's new instrument Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut demonstrated that use of the Symani Surgical System is as safe and effective as the predicate device, DEN230032. Therefore, the subject device is deemed to be substantially equivalent to the legally commercialized predicate device.
