More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a surgical instrument for grasping and coagulation, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.

No
The device is used for grasping and coagulating tissue during surgery, but it does not treat or prevent a disease, injury, or condition in the way a therapeutic device would. It is a surgical instrument.

No
The device description and intended use clearly state that it is for grasping and coagulation of soft tissue and blood vessels during surgical procedures, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "instrument" and describes physical components and materials, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing happens outside the body (in vitro).
  • MicroGRASP Monopolar Coagulator Function: The description clearly states the device is used for "grasping and coagulation of soft tissue and blood vessels... during open and guidance-assisted surgical procedures." This is a surgical instrument used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.

The device's function is therapeutic and surgical, not diagnostic testing of specimens.

Dear Dr. Gordon:

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 (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.
