Intended Use
Laparoscopic Electrodes and Handle are used to grasp, hold, coagulate, and cut tissue during laparoscopic surgical procedures
Device Description
Laparoscopic electrodes and handles are surgical instruments with interchangeable tip inserts designed to be introduced through a 5.5mm diameter (or larger) cannula, during laparoscopic surgical procedures. The devices can be used with electrosurgical generators. The interchange ability of the tip inserts allows for three main benefits: - . A removable insert allows for easier cleaning and disinfection of the instrument components. - Versatility of the instrument is greatly increased as one handle can accept many tip configurations, - Semi-disposability allows for multiple uses of one tip insert with cost effective replacement when worn or damaged. The device consists of two components: an insulated, reusable handle and a series of reusable tips. Radiofrequency energy is passed to the tip through the handle and shaft by using a powered lead from an electrosurgical generator to a connector port on the handle. The insulated handle is the device that will be used by the physician or nurse to attach the tip and control the action of the tip via the grip. A rotary knob allows the tip to be positioned (rotated) while in the cannula.

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on mechanical and electrical components for surgical procedures and does not mention any AI/ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is described as a surgical instrument used to grasp, hold, coagulate, and cut tissue, which are actions performed during a surgical procedure rather than for therapy.

No
The device is used to grasp, hold, coagulate, and cut tissue, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic. It does not gather information about a patient's condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (handle, tips, shaft, connector port, rotary knob) and their interaction with electrosurgical generators, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Laparoscopic Electrodes and Handle are used during laparoscopic surgical procedures to "grasp, hold, coagulate, and cut tissue." This is an in vivo (within the living body) surgical function.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: The device description focuses on surgical manipulation and energy delivery for therapeutic purposes (coagulation and cutting), not on analyzing samples for diagnostic information.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument used for therapeutic intervention, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
