Intended Use
Aesculap's Nelson delix® Electrosurgical is intended to be used in surgery to generate electrical power for both Monopolar and Bipolar cutting and coagulating in microsurgery and macrosurgery.
Device Description
Aesculab's Nelson dollar Electrosurgical Unit is an Electrosurgical unit (ESU) capable of generating high frequency electrical current, driven through a software based program, for use in monopolar and bipolar electrosurgery. The Nelson asunt Electrosurgical Unit is equipped with two monopolar and two biopolar outlets. All software and electrical components are housed within a combination metallic and thermoplastic enclosure and the product is provided with a universal power cord, which automatically adapts to voltages ranging from 100-240 volts. A monopolar or bipolar cord connects the instruments to the coagulator. The unit is activated by means of a foot control or hand piece.
More Information

No
The description mentions a "software based program" but provides no details suggesting AI/ML capabilities. There are no mentions of AI, DNN, ML, training sets, test sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The focus is on standard electrosurgical functions and compliance with electrical safety standards.

Yes
The device is used in surgery for cutting and coagulating tissue, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an Electrosurgical Unit (ESU) used to generate electrical power for cutting and coagulating in surgery. Its function is to perform surgical procedures, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the software and electrical components are housed within a combination metallic and thermoplastic enclosure, indicating the presence of physical hardware beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used "in surgery to generate electrical power for both Monopolar and Bipolar cutting and coagulating". This describes a surgical tool used directly on a patient, not a device used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside of the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details an electrosurgical unit that generates electrical current for surgical procedures. This aligns with a surgical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

In vitro diagnostics are devices used to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device's function is entirely focused on performing surgical procedures directly on the patient.
