The summary describes a mechanical surgical instrument with different tip configurations and does not mention any computational or data-driven features indicative of AI/ML.
No
The device is described as a surgical instrument intended to cut, grasp, and dissect tissue during surgical procedures, which are actions performed during a medical intervention rather than a therapeutic treatment itself.
No
The device is described as surgical tips intended to cut, grasp, and dissect tissue during surgical procedures. There is no mention of it being used for diagnosis or detection of medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (tips, shaft, handle) intended for surgical procedures, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the "Re-New Forceps" Laparoscopic Surgical Tips are not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "cut, grasp, and dissect various abdominal tissue for use in endoscopic, including laparoscopic surgical procedures where instruments are introduced into the body through a cannula." This describes a surgical instrument used in vivo (within the living body) during a procedure.
- Device Description: The description details surgical tips designed to attach to a handle/shaft for performing surgical actions on tissue within the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health status. The "Re-New Forceps" do not perform this function.
Therefore, the "Re-New Forceps" are a surgical instrument, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. de Laforcade:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the 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, Drug, 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 II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices 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 (QS) 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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your devices in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submissions 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.
