Hot Biopsy Forceps are intended for simultaneous biopsy and coagulation of diminutive polyps. Hot biopsy forceps are intended for use in conjunction with an electrocautery unit. ## Device Story LSVP International Hot Biopsy Forceps are endoscopic instruments designed for simultaneous tissue biopsy and coagulation of diminutive polyps. The device is used in conjunction with an external electrocautery unit. Operated by physicians during endoscopic procedures, the forceps allow for the mechanical removal of tissue while simultaneously applying electrical current to achieve hemostasis. This dual-action approach simplifies the procedure for the clinician and reduces the need for separate instruments, potentially benefiting the patient by minimizing procedure time and trauma. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design and functional comparison to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Reusable endoscopic biopsy forceps designed for use with electrocautery units. Mechanical grasping mechanism for tissue sampling combined with electrical conduction for coagulation. Class II device (21 CFR 876.4300). ## Regulatory Identification An endoscopic electrosurgical unit and accessories is a device used to perform electrosurgical procedures through an endoscope. This generic type of device includes the electrosurgical generator, patient plate, electric biopsy forceps, electrode, flexible snare, electrosurgical alarm system, electrosurgical power supply unit, electrical clamp, self-opening rigid snare, flexible suction coagulator electrode, patient return wristlet, contact jelly, adaptor to the cord for transurethral surgical instruments, the electric cord for transurethral surgical instruments, and the transurethral desiccator. ## Predicate Devices - Reusable Hot Biopsy Forceps (Olympus) - Reusable Hot Biopsy Forceps (Microvasive Corp.) - Reusable Hot Biopsy Forceps (Fujinon, Inc.) - Reusable Hot Biopsy Forceps (Mill-Rose Labs) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

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 Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP 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. If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4616.
