No
The device description focuses on the mechanical and electrical properties of bipolar forceps and cables, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is designed to "grasp, manipulate and coagulate selected tissue" in surgical procedures, and coagulation is considered a therapeutic action.
No
The device is designed to grasp, manipulate, and coagulate tissue using electrosurgical energy, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly details physical components such as forceps, cables, and connectors, and describes their material composition and function in delivering electrical energy. There is no mention of software as a component of the device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "grasp, manipulate and coagulate selected tissue" during "general surgical procedures." This is a direct surgical intervention on the patient's body.
- Mechanism of Action: The device uses "electrosurgical energy generated by the electrosurgical generator unit" to achieve "bipolar coagulation." This is a physical process applied to tissue, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the forceps and cables for surgical use (grasping, manipulating, conducting electrical power for coagulation).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.
IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device operates directly on the patient's tissue during surgery.

Device Description
The DORO® Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps are for use in general surgical procedures. These devices are connected through a suitable bipolar cable with the bipolar output of an electrosurgical generator. The forceps are designed to grasp and manipulate selected tissues. Coagulation is achieved using electrosurgical energy generated by the electrosurgical generator unit and activated by a footswitch.
During the coagulation of tissue, the coagulated tissue may stick to the forceps. This undesirable effect can be eliminated by the non-stick properties of the unique solid silver alloy tip forceps of the DORO line. The solid silver allov tip provides excellent thermal properties and eliminates the difficult and time-consuming of the forceps during a procedure. The non-stick properties are permanent since it is not a coating and the non-stick properties are retained through repeated and frequent sterilizations.
Reusable Standard two-pin round connector cables are designed to work with all foot-switching bipolar electrosurgical generators.
The DORO® Bipolar Reusable Cables are non-sterile, reusable bipolar cables of 3 and 5 meters. They are designed to transport electrical power from a high-frequency electrosurgical generator by a foot-activated switch. The cable fittings are compatible for use with: Erbe, Martin, Valleylab, Aesculap and other ES Generator Units with twinpin connectors (2-banana plug). The cables are comprised of silicone (outer insulation), PTFE or FEP (core insulation), and Cu-wire poreless silver plated (wire).
The cable consists of a twin-pin connector (2-banana plug) that is comprised of silver plated bronze and insulated with silicone. The connector cable at the forceps end is comprised of bronze or brass - silver or nickel plated, Stainless Steel 1.4310, PP (Polypropylene or TPE).

APPENDIX I: Summary
7. Sterilization by User
DORO® Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps and DORO® Bipolar Reusable Cables are delivered in non-sterile conditions. The user may sterilize these devices by using a validated and applicable sterilization process.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Every surgical instrument should be disinfected and thoroughly cleaned after each use. Proper cleaning, inspection and maintenance will help ensure correct function of the surgical instrument. Clean, inspect and test each instrument carefully. Sterilize all instruments before surgery. A good cleaning and maintenance procedure will extend the useful life of the instrument.
Special attention must be paid to slots, stops, ends, hollow tubes and other highly inaccessible areas. Check insulation, cables and connectors for cuts, voids, cracks, tears, abrasions, etc.
Do not use damaged instruments.
Cleaning and rinsing must take place immediately after each use for best effect. Failure to clean promptly may result in adherent particles or dried secretions that may resist cleaning and complicate or resist future sterlization.
Instruments must be completely cleaned and rinsed of all foreign matter.
Use warm water and a commercially available instrument pre-soak or cleaning agent. Enzymatic cleaners (such as Enzol ") must be used to remove protein deposits. Follow the enzymatic cleaner's instructions; rinse thoroughly, Do not use corrosive cleaning agents (i.e. bleach). Cleaning solutions and rinses at or near a neutral pH (7.0) are best.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Only a soft bristle brush should be used.
Immerse the entire device in detergent and clean while soaking.
Rinse with sterile deionized water.
Can be disinfected in the washing machine up to 203°F (95°C).
Rinse thoroughly with distilled water.
Prepare for storage and/or sterilization.
Sterilization
Only a validated steam-sterilization process according DIN EN 554 / ISO 11134 that uses a sterilization cycle of 137°C / 280°F, 3 bar, for min. 15 minutes should be used.
(Note: Contact the manufacturer of your steam autoclave to confirm appropriate temperatures and sterilization times.)
Caution: Autoclave temperatures should not exceed 280°F (137°C); handles, insulation or other non-metallic parts may be damaged
Do not sterilize with hot air.
Do not use 'Flash' autoclave procedures.
8. Conclusion
Based on the available 510(k) summaries and 510(k) statements (21 CFR 807) and the information provided herein, we conclude that DORO® Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps are substantially equivalent to the existing legally marketed devices under Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

Dear Mr. Schuele:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
