More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical ultrasonic surgical instrument and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as having applications in various surgical procedures for the transection, dissection, and coagulation of tissue, indicating its direct involvement in treating medical conditions.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an ultrasonic hand instrument used for transection, dissection, and coagulation of tissues during surgery. Its intended use is therapeutic (surgical), not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "three endoscopic hand instruments which connected by an acoustic transducer to a generator," indicating physical 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 describes a surgical instrument used for "transection, dissection and coagulation of tissue(s)" during various surgical procedures. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes in vivo.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a surgical hand instrument connected to a generator, designed for physical manipulation of tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Mr. Clavelli:

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, market the device, 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 device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or 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 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 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.
