No
The provided 510(k) summary describes a device for soft tissue cutting and coagulation. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses on the intended use and anatomical site, which are consistent with a traditional surgical device.

Yes
The device is described as being used for "soft tissue cutting of the uterine cervix and coagulation, intraepithelial neoplasia, condylomata acuminata, and miscellaneous lesions," which are all therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is described for "soft tissue cutting" and "coagulation" of various lesions, which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The provided 510(k) summary describes a device for soft tissue cutting and coagulation, which inherently requires hardware (e.g., an electrosurgical unit or laser) to perform these physical actions. The summary does not mention any software-only function like image analysis or data processing.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a device used for soft tissue cutting and coagulation of the uterine cervix and various lesions. This is a surgical or therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) 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 the body ("in vitro").

The description clearly indicates a device used on the patient for treatment, not a test performed on a sample from the patient.

Trade/Device Name: Thomas Medical Electrodes Regulation Number: 21 CFR 884.4120 Regulation Name: Gynecologic electrocautery and accessories

Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 85 HGI Dated: July 30, 2002 Received: August 5, 2002

Dear Mr. Zinnanti:

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 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Par: 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Aet); 21 CFR 1000-1050,

1

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
