Intended Use
The RIWO Drive Generator with motor handle serves to drive Wolf Power Cutters and Burrs to remove tissue during endoscopic procedures. Indication and field of application: For therapy with endoscopic accessories: - in arthroscopy, e.g., for resection of meniscus, for removal of soft tissue, as well as for intra-articular severing or abrading of bone tissue, e.g., ACL or shoulder procedures - in sinus surgery, e.g. for removal of polyps - in spine surgery (arthroscopic mirco disectomy (AMD), spinal endsoscopy)
Device Description
The power Cutters and Burrs consist of a hollow, fenestrated tube, containing a rotating twoedged cylindrical blade (cutter) or an abrader (burr) that spins within the hollow tube. They are driven by a motor handle.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical device for tissue removal and does not mention any AI/ML components or functions.

Yes
The device is used for "therapy with endoscopic accessories" to remove tissue and bone during surgical procedures, directly treating a condition or injury.

No

The device description indicates it is used for "remove tissue during endoscopic procedures" and lists therapeutic applications like "resection of meniscus," "removal of soft tissue," and "intra-articular severing or abrading of bone tissue." These are all interventional or therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like a "RIWO Drive Generator with motor handle" and "Power Cutters and Burrs" which are driven by the motor handle. This indicates it is a hardware device with a driving mechanism, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Function: The RIWO Drive Generator with motor handle and associated cutters/burrs is used to physically remove tissue during endoscopic surgical procedures. It is a surgical tool, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it is for "therapy with endoscopic accessories" and describes surgical procedures like tissue resection and bone abrasion.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument or system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
