Device Description
The INTELLIO SHIFT System combines two previously cleared technologies into one system. The INTELLIO SHIFT System is composed of (1) a controller that combines the radio frequency coblation/coagulation technology of the previously cleared (K210423) WEREWOLF+ COBLATION System with the mechanical resection technology of the previously cleared (K062849) DYONICS POWER II Control System and (2) a wired foot pedal that controls these two technologies. The INTELLIO SHIFT System utilizes the same technologies as the predicates and matches the performance requirements of the WEREWOLF+ and DYONICS POWER II controllers. The INTELLIO SHIFT System allows the user to select and operate two established resection technologies using the same device: Mechanical Resection (MR) for cutting and tissue removal, and Bipolar Radio Frequency (RF) for coblation/coagulation. The INTELLIO SHIFT System is compatible with various accessories including RF coblation/coagulation Wands, a Mechanical Resection Motor Drive Unit Handpiece, and a wired foot pedal. The INTELLIO SHIFT System interfaces with a handpiece Motor Drive Unit (MDU) shaver, to provide mechanical cutting and tissue removal. The INTELLIO SHIFT System interfaces with RF Wands to utilize bipolar RF technology for the resection, ablation, and coagulation of tissues and hemostasis of blood vessels in various arthroscopic, and orthopedic procedures. Additionally, the INTELLIO SHIFT System can be interfaced directly with 510K cleared fluid management systems. INTELLIO SHIFT provides an optional interface for the INTELLIO Connected Tower, which is composed of Smith and Nephew equipment typically used in arthroscopic or orthopedic surgical procedures and stored near each other on a single cart. While the INTELLIO SHIFT System provides options to healthcare professionals to use both Mechanical Resection and Coblation/Coagulation through the same device and within the same surgery, these technologies cannot be used at the exact same time.
