The summary describes a mechanical and electrical device for tissue resection and ablation, with a modification to the insulation material. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.
Yes.
The device is intended for resection, ablation of soft tissue, and hemostasis of blood vessels in arthroscopic procedures, which are therapeutic functions.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an ablator and shaver for resection and ablation of tissue and hemostasis, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly states it is a combination of a shaver blade and a monopolar electrode, which are physical hardware components. The modification described is a change in the material formulation of the electrical insulation coating, further indicating a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "resection and ablation of soft tissue, and hemostasis of blood vessels" in "arthroscopic procedures." This describes a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.
- Device Description: The description details a combination of a shaver blade and an electrode, designed for mechanical and electrical manipulation of tissue. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to perform a surgical procedure directly on the patient.
