A vessel fusion is created by the application of bipolar electrosurgical RF energy (coagulation) to the vessels placed between the jaws of the instrument. The Ethicon Endo-Surgery Flexible Bipolar Hemostasis Forceps sources RF energy from an electrosurgical generator. Specifically, the Ethicon Endo-Surgery Flexible Bipolar Hemostasis Forceps are designed for use with an ERBE VIO 300 D Electrosurgical Generator (ESU) System. This device passes through endoscopes having a 3.7 mm or larger working channels.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical function of a bipolar hemostasis forceps and its interaction with an electrosurgical generator. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making within the device itself.

Yes
The device is used in endoscopic procedures for fusion of vessels or tissue bundles by applying bipolar electrosurgical RF energy, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is described as flexible bipolar hemostasis forceps used for the fusion of vessels or tissue bundles by applying electrosurgical RF energy, which indicates a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, single-use physical instrument (forceps) used in endoscopic procedures, which is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Ethicon Endo-Surgery® Flexible Bipolar Hemostasis Forceps are used during a surgical procedure (endoscopic procedures) to physically fuse vessels or tissue bundles using electrosurgical energy. It is a surgical instrument used directly on the patient's tissue.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The description does not mention the device analyzing any biological samples taken from the patient. Its function is to apply energy to tissue in situ.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument or electrosurgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

Specifically, the Ethicon Endo-Surgery Flexible Bipolar Hemostasis Forceps are designed for use with an ERBE VIO 300 D Electrosurgical Generator (ESU) System. This device passes through endoscopes having a 3.7 mm or larger working channels.

The Ethicon Endo-Surgery® Flexible Bipolar Technological Hemostasis Forceps is designed for use with currently marketed therapeutic gastroscopes and colonoscopes. It requires a 3.7-mm working channel or port for deployment. The device has a flexible shaft with a distal tip consisting of a set of jaws housing the electrodes. The Flexible Bipolar Hemostasis Forceps' is used to create a vessel fusion by applying bipolar electrosurgical RF energy (coagulation) to the vessel placed between the iaws of the instrument. The jaws contain atraumatic "grooves" which enable the device to grasp and manipulate tissue during endoscopic procedures. At the proximal end is a handle assembly. The rotation knob on the handle assembly can be used to rotate the end effector/jaws to facilitate positioning on the vessel. The Ethicon Endo-Surgery Flexible Bioolar Hemostasis Forceps is provided with an insulated cable assembly with a plug for use with the bipolar receptacle of the ERBE VIO Electrosurgical Generator.
