Device Description
The bissinger® detachable bipolar coagulation-forceps is a device used to perform female sterilization and other operative procedures under endoscopic observation. It destroys tissue with high temperatures by directing a high frequency electrical current through tissue between two electrical contacts of a probe. The device consists of a Forceps Body (grip), Exterior tube (available in three working lengths), Interior tube (sliding tube, available in three working lengths), 1mm Electrode (fluted bit, available in three working lengths), 3mm Electrode (tong-type bit, available in three working lengths), Hirsch-electrode (rippled bar, available in three working lengths), and various types of plugs (Erbe-type, Martin/Berchtold-type, Codman-type, Valleylab-type) to connect to different current generators, and a Cable.

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical and electrical components for tissue coagulation and does not mention any AI/ML capabilities or related concepts like image processing, training data, or performance metrics associated with AI/ML.

No
The device is used for tissue destruction through coagulation during surgical procedures, which is an intervention rather than a therapeutic treatment in itself.

No
Explanation: The device is described as performing tissue coagulation, specifically for female sterilization and other operative procedures, by destroying tissue with high temperatures. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components (Forceps Body, Exterior tube, Interior tube, Electrodes, plugs, Cable) and describes a physical mechanism of action (directing high frequency electrical current through tissue). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is used for "Bipolar tissue coagulation" during surgical procedures. It directly interacts with and modifies tissue within the body using electrical current and heat.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze samples taken from the body. It is a surgical tool used for treatment and modification of tissue in situ.

Therefore, the bissinger® detachable bipolar coagulation-forceps is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

The bissinger® detachable bipolar coagulation-forceps is comprised of several detachable components: a Forceps Body (grip), an Exterior tube, an Interior tube (sliding tube), electrodes of varying types (1mm Electrode (fluted bit), 3mm Electrode (tong-type bit), Hirsch-electrode (rippled bar)), and various plugs (Erbe-type plug, Martin/Berchtold-type plug, Codman-type plug, Valleylab-type plug) to connect to different current generators, as well as a connecting Cable. The Forceps Body serves as the attachment point for all other components. The exterior and interior tubes, along with the electrodes, are available in multiple working lengths (200mm, 340mm, 450mm). The plugs facilitate connection to specific brands of current generators. The device is supplied clean only and requires sterilization before each use, with steam autoclave sterilization being the recommended method.

§ 884.1720 Gynecologic laparoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A gynecologic laparoscope is a device used to permit direct viewing of the organs within the peritoneum by a telescopic system introduced through the abdominal wall. It is used to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures on the female genital organs. This generic type of device may include: Trocar and cannula, instruments used through an operating channel, scope preheater, light source and cables, and component parts.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for gynecologic laparoscope accessories that are not part of a specialized instrument or device delivery system, do not have adapters, connector channels, or do not have portals for electrosurgical, lasers, or other power sources. Such gynecologic laparosope accessory instruments include: the lens cleaning brush, biopsy brush, clip applier (without clips), applicator, cannula (without trocar or valves), ligature carrier/needle holder, clamp/hemostat/grasper, curette, instrument guide, ligature passing and knotting instrument, suture needle (without suture), retractor, mechanical (noninflatable), snare, stylet, forceps, dissector, mechanical (noninflatable), scissors, and suction/irrigation probe.

Dear Mr. Schlerf:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, narket the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, issing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21. Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Admisstration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
