Intended Use
The sole difference the wabject and device and the predicate device, is that the prodicate device is indicated for endosessic surgery while the subject device is only indicated for open and thoracoscopic surgery (non-insufflated).
Device Description
The AUTO SUTURE* Suction / Irrigation** device is identical in safety and effectiveness to its currently marketed predicate - U.S. Surgical Corp.'s Endoscopic Suction / Irrigation ** device - 510(k) #K903207. United States Surgical Corporation has been manufacturing hand instruments as accessories in surgical procedures for a number of years. It is now the intention of USSC to expand the utility of the AUTO SUTURE* Endoscopic Suction / Irrigation ** device to allow the surgeon to gently blow blood and debris from the surgical site.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on mechanical function (suction/irrigation) and comparison to a predicate device without mentioning any computational or learning capabilities.

No.
The device is used to clear the surgical site for better visibility, which is a supportive function during surgery, not a direct treatment for a disease or condition. Its indication is for suction and irrigation during surgical procedures.

No
The device is described as an "AUTO SUTURE* Suction / Irrigation** device" used in surgical procedures to "gently blow blood and debris from the surgical site." Its intended use is described as aiding in "endoscopic surgery" and "open and thoracoscopic surgery (non-insufflated)." These functions are therapeutic or assistive during surgery, rather than diagnostic. A diagnostic device would typically be used to identify, detect, or monitor a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly refers to a "Suction / Irrigation device" and discusses its use as a "hand instrument" in surgical procedures, indicating a physical hardware component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The device is indicated for surgical procedures (open and thoracoscopic surgery) to suction and irrigate the surgical site. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body during surgery, not an in vitro test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on its function as a surgical instrument for suction and irrigation.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely procedural during surgery.

SUMMARY OF INFORMATION SUPPORTING SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS:

The AUTO SUTURE* Suction / Irrigation** device is identical in safety and effectiveness to its currently marketed predicate - U.S. Surgical Corp.'s Endoscopic Suction / Irrigation ** device - 510(k) #K903207. United States Surgical Corporation has been manufacturing hand instruments as accessories in surgical procedures for a number of years. It is now the intention of USSC to expand the utility of the AUTO SUTURE* Endoscopic Suction / Irrigation ** device to allow the surgeon to gently blow blood and debris from the surgical site. The information included in this notification demonstrates that the device is substantially equivalent to its predicate in respect to design, function, performance, labeling and sterilization. The sole difference the wabject and device and the predicate device, is that the prodicate device is indicated for endosessic surgery while the subject device is only indicated for open and thoracoscopic surgery (non-insufflated).

  • . Both the subject and predicate devices are designed and to perform the exact same functions.
  • . Both the subject devices and other currently marketed United States Surgical Corporation devices are manufactured in the same facilities, using similar processes and controls.
  • . Both the subject devices and other currently marketed United States Surgical Corporation devices are packaged in the same facilities using similar processes and controls.
  • Both the subject and predicate devices perform the exact same function in the same way.
  • . Both the subject and predicate devices are manufactured from the exact same bio-approved materials
