Intended Use
Cauterisation of tissues and capillary vessels during operations. No high frequency generator is required. Specially suitable for ophthalmology.
Device Description
Self-powered device for the cauterization of tissues and small vessels during surgery, without the use of a high frequency generator. The device is intended for use in ophthalmology. The system is started by pressing the button on the body of the cautery. The resistance of the wire of the tip, when the current passes, causes its heating guaranteeing its capacity of cauterization. The plastic and metal materials used in the devices comply with biocompatibility requisites. The energy produced by the continuous current is distributed as heat through a tip at a high temperature; the distribution is at short intervals of few seconds. The cautery has the weight, size and handle suitable to allow for easy use.

None

No
The description details a simple, self-powered cautery device that uses electrical resistance to generate heat. There is no mention of any computational processing, algorithms, or learning capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
This device is used for cauterization (destruction of tissue), not for treating a disease or condition for therapeutic purposes.

No

This device is used for cauterization (treatment by heating tissue), which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It treats tissues and vessels, it does not analyze or identify medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, self-powered device with a heated tip for cauterization, 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:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is used for "cauterisation of tissues and capillary vessels during operations." This is a direct surgical intervention performed on the body (in vivo). It uses heat to seal blood vessels and tissue.
  • No Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological specimens.

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

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Although there are no performance standards as reported in Section 514, the cauteries are tested and produced according to all requisites laid down by the regulations in force so as to guarantee safety and effectiveness.

According to the risk-benefit analysis, the global residual risk has been deemed acceptable since it falls within the area between negligible risks and acceptable risks. See section 12 of the submission.
