More Information

No
The summary describes a surgical lightstic for tissue coagulation using laser energy and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is used for coagulation of soft tissue in surgical procedures, which is a therapeutic function.

No
The device is described as a surgical instrument for coagulation of soft tissue, indicating a therapeutic or interventional use, not a diagnostic one.

No

The intended use and indications for use clearly describe a surgical instrument for coagulation of soft tissue using laser energy, which is a hardware-based function. The predicate devices also appear to be hardware-based laser systems and fibers.

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 a "surgical instrument for coagulation of soft tissue". This describes a device used during a surgical procedure on a patient's body, not a device used to test samples outside the body (in vitro).
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "soft tissue", which is a part of the human body. IVDs typically analyze biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue biopsies outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

Therefore, the Surgical Lightstic™ 180 is a surgical device used for therapeutic purposes (coagulation), not a diagnostic device used for testing samples in vitro.

Dear Mr. Knape:

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.
