Intended Use
The Dyonics ElectroBlade is indicated for use in arthroscopic surgical procedures of large and small articular cavities for resection and excision of soft and osseous tissues and for coagulation of bleeding.
Device Description
The Dyonics ElectroBlade combines the rotary cutting technology of Dyonics Arthroscopic Surgery Blades with the electrosurgical capabilities of a monopolar electrosurgery probe. The inner rotational blade is electrified by connection to a standard electrosurgical generator. Insulation on the outer blade isolates the electrical energy to the inner tube where it is exposed to tissues at the cutting window of the blade. The Dyonics ElectroBlade operates in conjunction with the standard Dyonics shaver system and standard monopolar electrosurgical generator systems. The Dyonics ElectroBlade requires the use of an electrosurgical dispersive pad.

No
The description focuses on mechanical cutting and electrosurgical capabilities, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is used for surgical procedures to cut and coagulate tissue, which describes a surgical tool rather than a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as being used for "resection and excision of soft and osseous tissues and for coagulation of bleeding" during surgical procedures, which are therapeutic rather than diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical device combining rotary cutting technology and electrosurgical capabilities, requiring connection to hardware like a shaver system and electrosurgical generator.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Dyonics ElectroBlade Function: The Dyonics ElectroBlade is a surgical tool used inside the body during arthroscopic procedures. It directly interacts with and modifies tissues within articular cavities.

The description clearly indicates its use in surgical procedures for cutting, excising, and coagulating tissue in vivo, not for analyzing samples in vitro.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Dear Ms. Connors:

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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
