Intended Use
The Ultracision Harmonic Scalpel Curved LCS and CS 5 mm instruments are indicated for soft tissue incisions when bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are desired. The instruments can be used as an adjunct to or substitute for electrosurgery, lasers, and scalpels in abdominal, pediatric, gynecologic and other endoscopic procedures.
Device Description
The UltraCision instruments are hand-held instruments which cut and coagulate tissue when attached to the ultrasonic hand piece and generator.
More Information

No
The summary describes a surgical instrument that uses ultrasonic energy for cutting and coagulation, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as cutting and coagulating tissue for soft tissue incisions with bleeding control and minimal thermal injury, indicating a direct therapeutic action on the patient.

No
The device is described as a surgical tool used for cutting and coagulating tissue, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its intended use focuses on active surgical intervention rather than diagnostic evaluation.

No

The device description explicitly states the instruments are "hand-held instruments" which are attached to a "ultrasonic hand piece and generator," indicating physical hardware components are integral to the device's function.

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 "soft tissue incisions" and "cutting and coagulating tissue" during surgical procedures. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or surgical purposes.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such testing on samples.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a surgical instrument used to cut and coagulate tissue.

Therefore, the Ultracision Harmonic Scalpel is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

NAME OF THE DEVICE:

Trade Name: UltraCision® Harmonic Scalpel® LCS and CS Curved Shears Classification: LFL

PREDICATE DEVICES:

UltraCision® Harmonic Scalpel® LCS B-5 and LCSK-5 shears (K980099) UltraCision® Harmonic Scalpel® CS shears (K925699)

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The UltraCision instruments are hand-held instruments which cut and coagulate tissue when attached to the ultrasonic hand piece and generator.

INTENDED USE:

These instruments are indicated for soft tissue incisions when bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are desired. The instruments can be used as an adjunct to or
