No
The summary describes a simple surgical dissector with a light source and does not mention any AI/ML related terms or functionalities.

No
Explanation: The device is intended to dissect soft tissue and navigate during surgical procedures, which are surgical tools, not therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is described as a surgical dissector used for dissecting soft tissue. Its light source helps in navigation and identification of anatomical structures during surgical procedures. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand held, single use, surgical articulated dissector with integral light source," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the AtriCure dissector™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for dissecting soft tissue during surgical procedures and using a light source for navigation and identification of anatomic structures. This is a surgical tool used in vivo (within the body) during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a hand-held, single-use surgical dissector.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, urine, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for conditions. The AtriCure dissector™ is a surgical instrument used directly on the patient during surgery.
