Intended Use
The UltraCision 5mm LaparoSonic® Hook Blades and UltraCision HS2 Blade are indicated for soft tissue incisions when bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are desired. The instruments can be used as an adjunct to or substitute for electrosurgery, lasers, and steel scalpels in general and thoracic surgery, including the mobilization of the Internal Mammary Artery (IMA).
Device Description
The UltraCision 5mm LaparoSonic® Hook Blade instruments are two styles of sterile, single patient use instruments consisting of a titanium blade with a non-removable sheath. The two styles consist of a Sharp Hook and Dissecting Hook. The working lengths are approximately 32 cm. The UltraCision HS2 Blade is a sharp hook and has a working length of approximately 10 cm. The system consists of a blade affixed with a sheath, a hand piece, blade adaptor, blade wrench, generator, foot switch and cart.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and ultrasonic properties of the surgical blades and system components, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used for soft tissue incisions and dissection, which are therapeutic interventions aimed at treating or managing a medical condition.

No

This device is used for surgical incisions and tissue dissection, specifically mentioned for cutting, blunt tissue dissection, and coagulation, rather than for identifying or diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components such as titanium blades, sheaths, hand pieces, generators, and a cart, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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 "soft tissue incisions when bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are desired" and is used in "general and thoracic surgery". This describes a surgical instrument used directly on a patient's body for treatment or diagnosis in vivo.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical blade and associated equipment used for cutting and coagulation of tissue. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) outside of the body, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument used for direct patient intervention, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Pace:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined these devices are 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, Druq, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the devices, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your devices are classified (see above) into either class Il (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your devices can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug

Administration (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 devices 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 requlations.

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

If you desire specific advice for your devices on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your devices, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
