Intended Use
The Medtronic Cardioblate® System is intended to ablate soft tissue during general surgery using radiofrequency energy.
Device Description
The Medtronic Cardioblate® 68000 Generator is a reusable, non-sterile radiofrequency generator. In bipolar mode, the generator is attached to a bipolar Surgical Ablation Device (e.g. Model 60831 or 60841), which is the hand-held, sterile, single-use device that applies radiofrequency energy to the selected tissue. The Cardioblate® 68000 Generator is capable of delivering a controlled amount of radiofrequency energy for both Monopolar and Bipolar surgical ablation techniques. The generator delivers up to 50 Watts energy in either the bipolar or monopolar mode.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on radiofrequency energy delivery and hardware/software validation without mentioning AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended to ablate soft tissue during general surgery using radiofrequency energy, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at treating medical conditions.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an ablation system intended to ablate soft tissue during general surgery using radiofrequency energy, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "reusable, non-sterile radiofrequency generator" and a "hand-held, sterile, single-use device" (Surgical Ablation Device), indicating significant hardware components. The performance studies also include "hardware qualification."

Based on the provided information, the Medtronic Cardioblate® System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "ablate soft tissue during general surgery using radiofrequency energy." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a radiofrequency generator and a surgical ablation device. These are tools used for surgical intervention, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, 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. The Cardioblate System's function is to surgically modify tissue, which is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.
