Intended Use
Soloist™ Single Needle Electrode is intended to be used in conjunction with a Boston Scientific radiofrequency (RF) generator for the thermal coagulation necrosis of soft tissues, including partial or complete ablation of nonresectable liver lesions.
Device Description
The Soloist™ Single Needle Electrode is a disposable, monopolar, electrosurgical device. The device consists of an electrode tip, an insulated delivery needle with handle, and cable. The Soloist™ Single Needle Electrode is connected to Boston Scientific radiofrequency (RF) generator so that energy passes into the electrode tip and heats the surrounding tissue. The device is also compatible with and may be used in conjunction with the Boston Scientific Coaccess™ Introducer.

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and function of a standard RF ablation electrode, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is used for "thermal coagulation necrosis of soft tissues," which is a medical treatment.

No
The device is described as an electrosurgical device for thermal coagulation necrosis of soft tissues, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function. It is used to ablate lesions, not to diagnose them.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "disposable, monopolar, electrosurgical device" consisting of physical components like an electrode tip, needle, handle, and cable. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside the body (in vitro).
  • Soloist™ Single Needle Electrode Function: The Soloist™ Single Needle Electrode is used directly on soft tissues within the body to perform thermal coagulation necrosis. It delivers energy to heat and destroy tissue. This is an in vivo procedure, not an in vitro test.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "thermal coagulation necrosis of soft tissues, including partial or complete ablation of nonresectable liver lesions." This describes a therapeutic intervention performed on the patient's body.

Therefore, the Soloist™ Single Needle Electrode is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
