No
The 510(k) summary describes a simple laparoscopic hand instrument and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as a "Laparoscopic Hand Instrument" used for blotting and sponging tissue, which are surgical assistance functions rather than direct therapeutic actions to treat a disease or condition.

No
The device, a laparoscopic hand instrument, is described for use in surgical procedures to blot small bleeders and sponge tissue. This is an assistive tool for surgical manipulation, not for identifying the nature or cause of disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Laparoscopic Hand Instrument," which is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a surgical instrument used during a laparoscopic procedure to physically interact with tissue (blotting and sponging). This is a direct interaction with the body, not an analysis of samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: It's described as a "Laparoscopic Hand Instrument," which is consistent with a surgical tool.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), chemical reactions, or diagnostic testing performed outside the body.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Christoudias Gauze Dissector does not fit this description.

Dear Mr. Lewis:

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 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 (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.

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.

If you desire specific advice for your device 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) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, 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).
