The summary describes a simple thermal cautery probe with a handle, switch, and power cord. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components.
No.
The device is used for cutting and cauterizing tissue during surgery, which are surgical functions, not therapeutic ones. Therapeutic devices are typically used for treating conditions or diseases, whereas this device is used for surgical procedures.
No
The device is described as a surgical instrument for cutting and cauterizing soft tissue, not for diagnosis. Its intended use is therapeutic (performing a procedure), not diagnostic (identifying a condition).
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "single use, handheld surgical instrument" with physical components like a handle, finger/footswitch control, and power cord, indicating it is 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 is "For the simultaneous cutting and cauterization of soft tissue during surgery." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's tissue, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument used for cutting and cauterizing tissue in situ.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical tool used for treatment during surgery.
