No
The provided 510(k) summary describes a power cannula for tissue/fluid removal and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
The device is used for the removal of tissue or fluids, including for aesthetic body contouring. This is not a therapeutic use, as it does not treat a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as a "power cannula" for the "removal of tissue or fluids" during "general surgical procedures." This indicates a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one (identifying or characterizing a disease or condition).

No

The summary describes a "power cannula device" which is a physical instrument used for tissue and fluid removal. This indicates a hardware component, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the K.M.I. Kolster Methods Inc. Stars2000 power cannula device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body (in vitro) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Intended Use: The intended use of the Stars2000 power cannula is for the removal of tissue or fluids from the body during general surgical procedures. This is an in vivo (within the body) procedure, not an in vitro test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of samples, diagnostic testing, or any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device.

Therefore, the Stars2000 power cannula is a surgical device used for tissue and fluid removal, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
