Intended Use
The Universal Drive System functions as a powered instrument system consisting of drills, saws, and associated handpieces to perform cutting of soft tissue and bone. The fields of application include: Orthopedic, Otolaryngological, Oral/Maxillofacial, Arthroscopic, Hand, Foot, Neuro, and Plastic/Reconstructive surgical procedures.
Device Description
The Universal Drive System is a combination of the entire MicroChoice® System and component Linvatec handpieces/blades/burrs of the Apex® Universal Drive System. Both systems and their intended uses are cleared by MicroChoice 510(k) #K942660 and Apex Universal Drive System 510(k)'s #K944476 & #K964548. The Universal Drive System consists of a AC powered drive console, a sterilizable handpiece cord, various motorized handpieces, various shavers, blades, burrs, drills, routers, and a foot switch. The modification will take place within the MicroChoice drive console power unit software. A computer chip will be upgraded to allow additional motorized handpieces from the Apex Universal Drive system for orthopedic and arthroscopic type procedures. Three handpieces from the Apex Universal Drive System will be modified with a detachable handpiece cord. The detachable handpiece cord will allow the "Apex style" handpieces to run on the same console as the MicroChoice original handpieces. All new handpieces will perform as described in the previous 510(k) submissions. The accessories including shavers, blades, burrs, drills, and routers from the Apex Universal Drive System will be used in addition to the MicroChoice System accessories. The shavers will have diameters of 2.0-6.0mm and lengths of 75-200mm.

No
The description focuses on mechanical components, power systems, and software upgrades for compatibility, with no mention of AI or ML functionalities.

No
The device is described as a powered instrument system for cutting soft tissue and bone, which is a surgical tool, not a device intended for therapy or treatment of a disease or condition in itself.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a powered instrument system for cutting soft tissue and bone, used in various surgical procedures. Its function is to perform cutting, not to diagnose.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a drive console, handpiece cord, motorized handpieces, shavers, blades, burrs, drills, routers, and a foot switch. While there is a software modification mentioned, the device is clearly a system of both hardware and software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "powered instrument system consisting of drills, saws, and associated handpieces to perform cutting of soft tissue and bone." This describes a surgical tool used directly on a patient during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details components like a drive console, handpieces, blades, burrs, drills, routers, and a foot switch. These are all physical instruments used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The description of the Universal Drive System does not involve any such activities.

The device is a surgical instrument system, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.
