Intended Use
The Smith & Nephew Dyonics® ElectroBlade™ Resector is indicated in arthroscopic surgical procedures of large and small articular cavities for resection and excision of soft and osseous tissues. The Smith & Nephew Dyonics® ElectroBlade™ Resector is effective in tissue resection and hemostasis of bleeding vessels. It is intended for arthroscopic procedures using saline solution, Ringer's lactate or other conductive solutions as an irrigant under direct or video-assisted fiber-optic visualization.
Device Description
The Smith & Nephew Dyonics® ElectroBlade™ Resector combines electrosurgical and shaver technology to provide hemostasis and mechanical cutting in a single instrument.
More Information

No
The summary describes a surgical instrument combining electrosurgical and shaver technology. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components. The performance studies focus on electrical safety and biological evaluation, not algorithmic performance.

Yes.
The device is used for surgical procedures to resect and excise tissues, as well as achieve hemostasis, which directly treats a medical condition.

No
The device is described as a surgical tool used for resection and excision of tissues, and hemostasis of bleeding vessels during arthroscopic procedures, not for identifying the presence or absence of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it "combines electrosurgical and shaver technology to provide hemostasis and mechanical cutting in a single instrument," indicating it is a physical hardware device. The performance studies also reference standards for electrosurgical devices and medical electrical equipment, further confirming it is not software-only.

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 used in "arthroscopic surgical procedures of large and small articular cavities for resection and excision of soft and osseous tissues." This describes a surgical instrument used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it "combines electrosurgical and shaver technology" and is used for "hemostasis and mechanical cutting in a single instrument." This further reinforces its role as a surgical tool.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any such use or interaction with patient specimens.

Therefore, the Smith & Nephew Dyonics® ElectroBlade™ Resector is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
