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, Oral/Maxillofacial, Otolaryngological, Arthroscopic, Hand, Foot, Neuro, and Plastic/Reconstructive surgical procedures.
Device Description
The Linvatec Universal Drive System is a modification of the Universal Drive System with the addition of three new handpieces used in large bone orthopedic procedures. The Universal Drive System was cleared under 510 (k) #K971059 on 6/18/97 for the following intended uses: Cutting of soft tissue and bone in Orthopedic, Oral/Maxillofacial, Otolaryngological, Arthroscopic, Hand, Foot, Neuro, and Plastic/Reconstructive surgical procedures. The Universal Drive System consists of an 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 Universal drive console power unit. A software computer chip will be upgrade to allow the use of additional motorized handpieces for large in order to have more available current to drive the large bone handpieces. Three handpieces used in large bone orthopedic procedures will be added to the system. The new handpieces include single trigger modular, dual trigger modular handpiece and an oscillating saw. These handpieces are similar in design to the Hall® Versipower® Plus handpieces. The handpieces will be sold with a detachable handpiece cord. The detachable handpiece cord will allow the handpieces run on the same console. The new handpieces will to perform as the Versipower® Plus handpieces described in the predicate information.

More Information

No
The summary describes a powered surgical instrument system with a software upgrade to support new handpieces, but there is no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is a powered instrument system for cutting tissue and bone during surgical procedures, not a device intended to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a powered instrument system (drills, saws, handpieces, etc.) used for cutting soft tissue and bone during surgical procedures. Its function is to perform mechanical actions, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device is a powered instrument system consisting of hardware components like a drive console, handpieces, cords, and accessories, with a software modification to the console. It is not solely 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 used for "cutting of soft tissue and bone" during surgical procedures. This is an in vivo (within a living organism) application, not an in vitro (outside of a living organism, typically on biological samples) diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description details a system of powered instruments (drills, saws, handpieces) used for physical manipulation of tissue and bone. This aligns with surgical tools, not diagnostic equipment that analyzes samples.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose a condition, monitor a disease, or screen for health issues.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely mechanical and surgical.

Dear Dr. Weideman:

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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (OS) 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.

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.
