Intended Use
MultAchoice Scissor Instrument: The MultAchoice Scissor may be used in a variety of endoscopic procedures. This device is designed for cutting or transecting tissue. It is fully autoclavable. The insulated shaft of this device has a 5mm OD and a 31cm working length. This shaft may be rotated 360° independent of the instrument handle, thereby permitting increased visibility and access to desired structures. The MultAchoice Scissor has been fitted with a standard banana plug to accept a monopolar connecting cable (not included) for electrosurgery. MultAchoice Grasper Instrument: The MultAchoice Grasper may be used in a variety of endoscopic procedures. This device is designed for grasping and manipulating tissue. It is fully autoclavable. The insulated shaft of this device has a 5mm OD and a 31cm working length. This shaft may be rotated 360° independent of the instrument handle, thereby permitting increased visibility and access to desired structures. The MultAchoice Grasper has been fitted with a standard banana plug to accept a monopolar connecting cable (not included) for electrosurgery. MultAchoice Dissector Instrument: The MultAchoice Dissector may be used in a variety of endoscopic procedures. This device is designed for blunt dissection, temporary grasping, and manipulation of tissue. It is fully autoclavable. The insulated shaft of this device has a 5mm OD and a 31cm working length. This shaft may be rotated 360° independent of the instrument handle, thereby permitting increased visibility and access to desired structures. The MultAchoice Dissector has been fitted with a standard banana plug to accept a monopolar connecting cable (not included) for electrosurgery.

More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical and electrical components for endoscopic procedures and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
These devices are designed for medical procedures such as cutting, grasping, manipulating, and blunt dissection of tissue, indicating a direct therapeutic action on the body.

No.
The devices are described as instruments for cutting, grasping, manipulating, and dissecting tissue during endoscopic procedures, and are used for surgical intervention rather than diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (Handle, Insulated Shaft, Instrument Insert) and describes their physical characteristics and functions (cutting, grasping, dissecting tissue, autoclavable, rotating shaft, banana plug for electrosurgery). This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

Based on the provided information, these devices are not IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The descriptions clearly state that these instruments are used for cutting, grasping, manipulating, and dissecting tissue within the body during endoscopic procedures.
  • The intended use is for surgical procedures. The descriptions focus on the function of the instruments during surgery (cutting, grasping, dissecting tissue) and their features for endoscopic use (insulated shaft, rotation, electrosurgery capability).
  • There is no mention of analyzing samples or providing diagnostic information. The purpose of these devices is to perform actions on tissue, not to analyze it for diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, the MultAchoice Scissor, Grasper, and Dissector Instruments are surgical instruments, not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

Dear Mr. Corzine:

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 (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. 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.
