No
The summary describes a simple, disposable grounding plate for electrosurgery and contains no mention of AI or ML.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device merely provides a return path for electrical current and does not provide any treatment.

No
The PROPLATE is described as a neutral electrode providing a return path for electrical current, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device is described as a "disposable, single-use, neutral electrode" and a "Electrosurgical Grounding Plate," which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the PROPLATE is a "disposable, single-use, neutral electrode, which provides a return path for high frequency electrical current to the ESU device." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure on a patient, not a device used to test samples outside of the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description "Electrosurgical Grounding Plate" further reinforces its role in electrosurgery, a procedure performed on a living patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or assays

Therefore, the PROPLATE is a medical device used in electrosurgery, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Burton:

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 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
