Intended Use
The Modular Monopolar Electrodes presented in this submission are intended for use in endoscopic surgery (laparoscopy, thoracoscopy) for coagulation and dissection of selected tissue.
Device Description
The Modular Monopolar Electrodes are made up of 3 separate components: an insulated handle (GK382R), an insulated shaft (GK380R) and a working tip. The working tips come in several different styles (i.e. J-shaped hook electrode GK383R) which can be used interchangeably. All components are reusable and disassemble for cleaning and sterilization. The assembled electrodes are 5 mm in diameter and 450 mm in length. They have no suction/irrigation feature.

GK380R, GK383R

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical components of a surgical electrode and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.

Yes
The device is described for use in endoscopic surgery for coagulation and dissection of selected tissue, which are therapeutic actions.

No
The device is described as being used for "coagulation and dissection of selected tissue" in surgical procedures, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components (insulated handle, insulated shaft, working tip) that are reusable and disassemble for cleaning and sterilization. This indicates a physical medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "coagulation and dissection of selected tissue" during endoscopic surgery. This is a direct surgical intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a surgical instrument (electrodes) used for physical manipulation of tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens.

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

Common Name: Monopolar Electrodes

Intended Use

The Modular Monopolar Electrodes presented in this submission are intended for use in endoscopic surgery (laparoscopy, thoracoscopy) for coagulation and dissection of selected tissue.

Technological Characteristics

Aesculap currently markets a line of non-modular endoscopic monopolar electrodes and a line of modular endoscopic monopolar scissiors and forceps which are subject to 510(k) clearance. This submission represents the following design changes:

  • Change electrodes from a non-modular design to a modular design.
  • Change in tip insulation material. .
  • Change in shaft insulation material. .

The Modular Monopolar Electrodes are made up of 3 separate components: an insulated handle (GK382R), an insulated shaft (GK380R) and a working tip. The working tips come in several different styles (i.e. J-shaped hook electrode GK383R) which can be used interchangeably. All components are reusable and disassemble for cleaning and sterilization.

The assembled electrodes are 5 mm in diameter and 450 mm in length. They have no suction/irrigation feature.
