The summary describes a standard electrosurgery device for tissue coagulation and sealing, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven analytical capabilities.
Yes
The device is used for hemostasis, sealing, and coagulation of soft tissue, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
The device is described as an electrosurgery device for hemostasis, sealing, and coagulation of soft tissue, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "bipolar electrosurgery device" and a "sterile, single use bipolar electrosurgery device," indicating it is a physical hardware device used in conjunction with an electrosurgical generator.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "hemostatic sealing and coagulation of soft tissue at the operative site" during surgical procedures. This is a therapeutic and surgical application, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
- Using reagents or assays
The device is a surgical tool used directly on tissue during surgery.
N/A

Dear Ms. Anastasi:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
