Intended Use
The Habib™ VesCoag is a catheter intended to be used for the coagulation of blood vessels during general surgery.
Device Description
The Habib™ VesCoag is a bipolar radiofrequency (RF) device that consists of a catheter, wire connections, hub, Y connector and two ring electrodes are configured with two rings creating proximal and distal heating zones. The Habib™ VesCoag has an attached cable which connects the device to an RF Generator. The catheter is inserted into the vessel and the tissue is coagulated using the RF power. The Habib™ VesCoag is designed for use in surgery and in imaging/radiological procedures and is a single use sterile device.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and the mechanism of action (bipolar RF coagulation) and does not mention any AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is used for the coagulation of blood vessels during surgery, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as a coagulation device used for treatment (coagulation of blood vessels), not for diagnosis. It delivers RF power to tissue.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a bipolar radiofrequency (RF) device consisting of a catheter, wire connections, hub, Y connector, and two ring electrodes, which are all hardware components. It also connects to an RF Generator.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "coagulation of blood vessels during general surgery." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter that uses radiofrequency energy to coagulate tissue. This is a physical intervention, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Habib™ VesCoag is a surgical tool used for treatment.

VNUS Closure™ System catheter manufactured by VNUS Medical Predicate Devices: Technologies Inc., San Jose, California, USA (K974521)

Intended Use:

The Habib™ VesCoag is a catheter intended to be used for the coagulation of blood vessels during general surgery.

Description:

The Habib™ VesCoag is a bipolar radiofrequency (RF) device that consists of a catheter, wire connections, hub, Y connector and two ring electrodes are configured with two rings creating proximal and distal heating zones. The Habib™ VesCoag has an attached cable which connects the device to an RF Generator. The catheter is inserted into the vessel and the tissue is coagulated using the RF power. The Habib™ VesCoag is designed for use in surgery and in imaging/radiological procedures and is a single use sterile device.

Technological Differences:

The Habib™ VesCoag has the same basic technological characteristics as the VNUS Closure™ System. Both devices use bipolar RF energy through a number of electrodes to coagulate vessels from the inside.

Performance Data:

Performance testing was undertaken to ensure that the Habib™ VesCoag functions as intended and meets design specifications. Sufficient data was obtained to show that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and meets safety and effectiveness criteria.
