No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgical coagulation system and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

Yes
The device is used for the coagulation of bleeding and non-bleeding sites in the gastrointestinal tract, addressing medical conditions such as ulcers, tears, and malformations, which falls under therapeutic indications.

No
Explanation: The device is a coagulation system used for treating bleeding and non-bleeding sites, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a generator, probe connection module, probe, and optional footswitch.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "coagulation of bleeding and non-bleeding sites in the gastrointestinal tract". This describes a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's tissue, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The components listed (Generator, Probe Connection Module, Probe, Footswitch) are typical of an electrosurgical or radiofrequency coagulation system used for direct tissue treatment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other elements associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function is to directly treat tissue, not to provide diagnostic information from a sample.
