Intended Use
The Resection Device is a sterile, single use electrosurgical device intended to be used in conjunction with an electrosurgical generator for the delivery of radiofrequency ("RF") current and sterile saline for cutting and coagulating soft tissue. The device is not intended for contraceptive tubal coagulation (permanent female sterilization).
Device Description
The Resection Device is a sterile, single use electrosurgical device intended to be used in conjunction with an electrosurgical generator for the delivery of radiofrequency ("RF") current and sterile saline for cutting and coagulating soft tissue. The device consists of an Insulated Handle and a Shaft and Electrode Tip. The Insulated Handle encases the controlling mechanism for the flow of saline, and activation of the RF current. The activation of RF current is accomplished by a single push button on the top of the handle. The Handle has a flow control mechanism so the flow of saline can be regulated by the user within the sterile field. The tubing length is approximately ten (10) feet in length and incorporates an I.V. spike on the end to attach directly to a hanging IV (saline) bag. The Handle power cord is approximately ten (10) feet in length and incorporates a 3-prong electrical plug. The electrode tip delivers RF energy for cutting and coagulation and delivers saline which is gravity-fed from an Intravenous bag to the tip. These devices use technology substantially equivalent to the TissueLink Solid Cylinder Monopolar Device (K014260). Both consist of an electrode tip that is used to cut and coagulate tissue through the utilization of high frequency radiofrequency energy. Resection Devices are provided sterile, sterilized using ethylene oxide gas, and are for single use only.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the electrosurgical mechanism, saline delivery, and physical components. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis of data for decision-making or control.

Yes
The device is described as an electrosurgical device intended to cut and coagulate soft tissue, which directly treats a condition (e.g., diseased tissue or bleeding) through a physical intervention.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an electrosurgical device for cutting and coagulating soft tissue, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as an Insulated Handle, Shaft, Electrode Tip, tubing, and power cord, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "cutting and coagulating soft tissue" using radiofrequency current and saline. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument with a handle, shaft, and electrode tip designed for delivering energy and saline to tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not interact with specimens in this way.

The device is an electrosurgical device used for surgical procedures, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
