The document describes an endoscopic instrument control system that assists in the accurate control of surgical instruments. It does not mention any AI models, machine learning, or deep neural networks being used within the device itself. The system is described as a control system operated by a physician, not an autonomous or AI-driven system.
No.
The devices are instruments (scissors and hook electrode) and a control system that assist physicians in performing surgical procedures. They manipulate tissue and assist in control, but do not directly cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease themselves.
No
Justification: The provided text describes a surgical system and its instruments used for tissue manipulation (cutting, dissecting, coagulating) during benign surgical procedures. Nowhere does it state that the device is used for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device is not a software-only medical device. Both the Intended Use Statement and Device Description clearly detail physical instruments ("Curved Scissors," "Hook Electrode," "Instrument ARMS") and a "Surgical System" that comprises hardware components like a "Surgeon Console" and "Robotic Control Unit" used for physical manipulation and control during surgical procedures. The submission is even about updating labeling for compatibility with a specific hardware model. This indicates a system involving mechanical components, not just software.
No.
The device is an endoscopic surgical instrument intended for tissue manipulation and control during surgical procedures, not for in vitro diagnostic testing of samples from the human body.

Device Description
The Anovo Instrument ARM Curved Scissors and Anovo Instrument ARM Hook Electrode ("Subject Device") are optional instruments for the Anovo Surgical System.
The purpose of this submission is to update the product labeling of the Anovo Instrument ARM Curved Scissors and Anovo Instrument ARM Hook Electrode to include compatibility with the Anovo Surgical System Model 6Ne.
The Anovo Surgical System Model 6N and Model 6Ne are almost identical, with the main difference being in the user interface. Both models are endoscopic instrument control systems that are intended to assist in the accurate control of the Instrument ARMS during single site, natural orifice laparoscopic-assisted transvaginal benign surgical procedures.
Both system's models comprise a Surgeon Console operated by a non-sterile surgeon, two sterile instruments (Instrument ARMS) actuated by the non-sterile, Robotic Control Unit (RCU). Both systems allow the physician to operate the Instrument ARMS from the Anovo Surgeon Console by manipulating the ARMS Controllers under visual guidance.

Dear Maya Leib Shlomo:
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 (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-reporting-combination-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-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
