No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and intended use of surgical scissors, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a surgical tool used to cut and dissect tissue, not to treat a disease or medical condition.

No
The device is described as "Laparoscopic scissors tips" and "surgical blades used to cut and dissect various abdominal tissue," indicating its function is for surgical intervention, not diagnosis. There is no mention of it being used to detect, identify, or monitor any medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical surgical instrument (scissors tips and handles) used for cutting and dissecting tissue, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "use to cut and dissect various abdominal tissue in endoscopic, including laparoscopic surgical procedures". This describes a surgical instrument used on the body, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details surgical blades and handles used for cutting and dissecting tissue during surgery. This aligns with the function of a surgical instrument, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro analysis.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device's function is purely surgical.

C. Identification of Predicate Device(s)

The "Selecta-Tip" Laparoscopic Instruments are substantially equivalent to their predicate, "Re-New (K962119), previously cleared and currently marketed.

D. Device Description

The Selecta-Tip" Laparoscopic Scissors are surgical blades used to cut and dissect various abdominal tissue for use in endoscopic, including laparoscopic, surgical procedures. The product line includes reusable common handles that can be easily attached and detached from a series of reusable tips.

The tip assembly is designed with a proprietary single thread and ball system, which permits simple and reliable attachment and detachment of the desired tip to the shaft of the handle/shaft component. Scissors tip configurations include:

  • · Metzenbaum.
  • · Mini,
  • · Hook,
  • · Endocut, and
  • · Micro.

E. Substantial Equivalence

The technical characteristics of the "Selecta-Tip" Laparoscopic scissors tips are almost identical to those of the Microline "Re-New". Differences that exist between these devices relating to technical specifications, materials, and physical appearance do not affect the relative safety or effectiveness of the "Selecta-Tip" relative to its predicate.

"Selecta-Tip" Laparoscopic scissors tips are intended for use to cut and dissect various abdominal tissue in endoscopic, including laparoscopic surgical procedures where instruments are introduced into the body through a cannula.
