The document describes a standard electrosurgical probe for tissue coagulation and hemostasis. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components. The performance studies focus on meeting design inputs and safety/effectiveness for the intended use, not on evaluating algorithmic performance.
Yes.
The device is intended for the coagulation of cardiac and soft tissues using RF energy to produce hemostasis, which directly treats a medical condition (e.g., bleeding) within the body.
No
This device is intended for coagulation and hemostasis of tissues during surgery, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones. It does not mention any function for identifying or analyzing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "Electrosurgical Probe" with a "malleable or flexible shaft" used in conjunction with an "Electrosurgical Unit (ESU)," indicating it is a hardware device that delivers RF energy.
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 the coagulation of cardiac and soft tissues during surgery. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description confirms it's an electrosurgical probe used in conjunction with an electrosurgical unit for coagulation during open surgical procedures.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue samples, etc.) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. IVDs are designed for testing samples in vitro (in glass or in a lab setting).
Therefore, the Cobra Surgical Probes are a surgical device used for therapeutic purposes (coagulation and hemostasis) directly on the patient, not for diagnostic testing of samples outside the body.

Dear Ms. Malmborg:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of February 24, 2004.
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 (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.

Page 2 - Ms. April M. Malmborg
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 Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to continue marketing your device as described in your Section 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 (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
