Intended Use
Dyonics Disposable Endoscopic Surgery Blades are indicated for resection of soft and osseous tissues in large articular cavities, small articular cavities, and Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). The FESS application is limited to those small blades which are appropriate for the procedure.
Device Description
Curved Small Joint Disposable Endoscopic Surgery Blades are utilized in conjunction with a control console, motor drive unit, footswitch and suction to resect soft and osseous tissues as per indications. The blades can be operated in forward, reverse and oscillate modes and at variable speeds controlled by the surgeon. The rotary action coupled with suction draws tissue into the window of the blade where rotation of the inner blade cleanly excises and evacuates the resected material. Irrigation aids in evacuation of resected materials through the blade.

No
The description focuses on mechanical operation and control by the surgeon, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

No
The device, Dyonics Disposable Endoscopic Surgery Blades, is used for resection of tissues during surgery, which is an interventional procedure, not a therapeutic one. It facilitates the removal of tissue but does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device description indicates that the Dyonics Disposable Endoscopic Surgery Blades are used for "resection of soft and osseous tissues," meaning they cut and remove tissue. This is a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one. Diagnostic devices are used to identify a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Disposable Endoscopic Surgery Blade" and is used "in conjunction with a control console, motor drive unit, footswitch and suction". This indicates a physical, hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Dyonics Disposable Endoscopic Surgery Blades are used directly within the body during surgical procedures to resect (cut and remove) tissue. They are surgical tools, not diagnostic tests performed on specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states resection of soft and osseous tissues in specific anatomical locations. This is a surgical function, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Smith - Nephew

The Smith & Nephew, Inc., Endoscopy Division Dyonics Curved Small Joint Disposable Endoscopic Surgery Blades are substantially equivalent in intended use, materials, design and function to small joint/ENT curved blades offered by Stryker Endoscopy for use with the Hummer and Hummer II Systems. Dyonics Curved Small Joint Disposable Endoscopic Surgery Blades are also substantially equivalent in intended use, materials, design and function to the Linvatec Merlin line of bendable blades which are intended for use in arthroscopy and FESS procedures. Smith & Nephew, Inc., Endoscopy Division, Stryker Endoscopy and Linvatec provide blunt tip arthroscopic surgery blades in curved configurations. All blades have lateral cutting windows, in various diameters, lengths, and cutting window configurations. All blades are designed to run in conjunction with a control console, motor drive unit, footswitch, and a suction system under endoscopic video visualization.

Predicate Device:

The predicate devices for this submission are Stryker Endoscopy's Curved Small Joint/ENT Disposable Blades and the Linvatec Melin Disposable Arthroscopic Surgery Blade.

Summary of Device Function:

Curved Small Joint Disposable Endoscopic Surgery Blades are utilized in conjunction with a control console, motor drive unit, footswitch and suction to resect soft and osseous tissues as per indications. The blades can be operated in forward, reverse and oscillate modes and at variable speeds controlled by the surgeon. The rotary action coupled with suction draws tissue into the window of the blade where rotation of the inner blade cleanly excises and evacuates the resected material. Irrigation aids in evacuation of resected materials through the blade.

Intended Use of Device:

The Dyonics Disposable Endoscopic Surgery Blades are indicated for resection of soft and osseous tissues in large articular cavities, small articular cavities, and Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). The FESS indication is limited to those small blades which are appropriate for the procedure.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics of Predicate Device:

The basic design and function of the Dyonics line of Curved Small Joint Disposable Endoscopic Surgery Blades is consistent with the Dyonics curved blades designs as described in previous submissions. These designs, function and intended use are substantially equivalent to those for curved small joint/ENT blades marketed by Stryker Endoscopy and the Linvatec Merlin "bendable" arthroscopy blade. The addition of the features defined in this premarket notification submission present no new safety or effectiveness concerns for the device.
