No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical surgical safety scalpel with no mention of software, data processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is described as a cutting device for surgical, pathology, and minor medical procedures, and its primary purpose is to protect against accidental injuries. It does not state that it treats or ameliorates a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "surgical safety scalpel intended for use as a cutting device" and for "protection against accidental injuries," which indicates it is an surgical instrument, not a diagnostic tool.

No

The device is described as a "surgical safety scalpel," which is a physical cutting instrument, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Spectra Safety Scalpel is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "cutting device during surgical, pathology and minor medical procedures." This describes a device used on a patient or for procedures directly involving tissue manipulation, not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose conditions.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention anything about analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information. IVDs are designed to perform tests on these samples.

Therefore, the Spectra Safety Scalpel falls under the category of a surgical instrument, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
