More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on adding a switch for continuous or intermittent activation at a predetermined rate, which is a simple control function, not AI/ML. The predicate device is a "Timer," further suggesting a non-AI/ML technology.

No.
The device is an accessory that adds an option for continuous or intermittent activation to an Electrosurgical Dissection System. It does not directly treat or diagnose a condition.

No
The device is described as an accessory to an electrosurgical dissection system, adding activation options. It does not perform any diagnostic functions like detecting, identifying, or monitoring diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "Ergonomic Intermittent Activation Switch," which is a physical accessory and not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the Cook Vascular PERFECTA™ EDS Ergonomic Intermittent Activation Switch is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The description of the Cook Vascular PERFECTA™ EDS Ergonomic Intermittent Activation Switch clearly states its function is to control the activation of an electrosurgical dissection system, which is used during a surgical procedure on a patient.
  • There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

The device is an accessory for a surgical system used for electrosurgical dissection, which is an in vivo procedure (performed on a living organism), not an in vitro procedure (performed outside of a living organism).
