Intended Use
This application system, comprising the CelonLab ENT power control unit and the CelonProBreath, CelonProSleep, and CelonProSleep PLUS bipolar coagulation electrodes, is indicated for ablation and coagulation of soft tissue in otorhinolaryngology (ENT) surgery including: CelonProBreath: Submucosal tissue shrinkage for nasal airway obstruction by reduction of hypertrophic nasal turbinates CelonProSleep: Submucosal tissue shrinkage and tissue coagulation in the uvula/soft palate for the treatment of snoring CelonProSleep PLUS: Submucosal tissue shrinkage and tissue coagulation in the uvula/soft palate for the treatment of snoring The system is intended for use by qualified medical personnel trained in the use of electrosurgical equipment.
Device Description
The Celon ENT System is comprised of a power control unit (CelonLab EN7) and bipolar coagulation electrodes. The CelonLab ENT power control unit delivers a bipolar output via the bipolar coagulation electrodes of type CelonProBreath, CelonProSleep, and CelonProSleep PLUS. A neutral electrode (return conductor) is not required. The power control unit is user-friendly with a user display showing all the necessary process parameters. After switching on the equipment, the user selects the level of power and activates the radio frequency (RF) current by depressing the foot switch. The power control unit delivers an acoustic signal as an indicator of the coaqulation status. Usually, general electrosurgical units have a fixed activation tone. However, in the case of the CelonLab ENT power control unit, the frequency of the acoustic signal is proportional to the tissue impedance. This permits acoustic monitoring of the coagulation status by the operator, since the latter is directly correlated with the impedance. If the impedance increases above a certain limit, signifying that the coagulation process is complete, this is additionally indicated by a clock pulsed sound and the power output is ceased automatically. Overdose effects in the treated tissue area are excluded by this power control function. The procedure time will be set automatically by the power control unit. The time interval between activation of the power control unit and the end of the coagulation procedure depends on applicator type, tissue properties and power setting, and can vary between 3 seconds and several minutes. Accessories included with the power control unit include a line power cable and single pedal foot pedal (CelonFootSwitch).
More Information

Not Not Found

No
The device description details a system that uses tissue impedance to control power output and indicate coagulation status. While this involves automated control based on a physiological parameter, it does not describe the use of AI or ML algorithms for learning, pattern recognition, or complex decision-making beyond a predefined threshold. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is indicated for specific medical procedures like ablation and coagulation of soft tissue to treat conditions such as nasal airway obstruction and snoring, which falls under the definition of therapeutic use.

No

This device is designed for ablation and coagulation of soft tissue, not for diagnostic purposes. While it does monitor tissue impedance, this is for controlling the coagulation process, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a power control unit, bipolar coagulation electrodes, a line power cable, and a foot pedal. While there is software controlling the power output and providing acoustic feedback, the device is fundamentally a hardware system with integrated software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is an electrosurgical system used for ablation and coagulation of soft tissue in ENT surgery. It directly interacts with and modifies tissue within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures to treat conditions like nasal airway obstruction and snoring by shrinking or coagulating tissue. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.

The device's function and intended use are entirely focused on surgical treatment within the patient's body, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic.
