More Information

No
The summary describes a standard surgical forceps utilizing electrical current for grasping, coagulating, and transecting tissue. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components.

Yes
The device is described as grasping, coagulating, and transecting tissue using electrical current, which are actions performed during medical procedures to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No
The device description states its function is for grasping, coagulating, and transecting tissue during surgery, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "forceps that grasps, coagulates, and transects tissue, utilizing electrical current." This describes a physical hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Patton Tripol™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "grasping, coagulating, and transecting of tissue" during surgery. This is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "forceps that grasps, coagulates, and transects tissue, utilizing electrical current." This is a surgical instrument.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health. The Patton Tripol™ does not perform this function.

Therefore, the Patton Tripol™ is a surgical device, not an IVD.
