Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are purely focused on the electrical connection function of cables, with no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would involve AI/ML. The "Not Found" entries for AI/ML mentions and performance study details further support this.

No
The device is an accessory that connects electrosurgical instruments to a generator to transfer power, it does not directly provide therapy itself.

No

Explanation: The device is an electrosurgical cable that transfers power from a generator to instruments; it does not gather or analyze data to identify a disease, condition, or provide information for diagnosis. Its function is to facilitate a therapeutic procedure.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a physical cable designed to transfer electrosurgical power, indicating it is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "electrically connect monopolar/bipolar electrosurgical instruments to an electrosurgical generator." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure to deliver energy to tissue, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating the cables "transfer electrosurgical power" and are used with "electrosurgical instruments."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status

Therefore, the Sutter Electrosurgical Cables are accessories used in electrosurgery, which is a medical procedure performed on a patient, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Dear Mr. Boone:

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 (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
