Intended Use
The Aragon Surgical Teleo Instrument is a dedicated bipolar electrosurgical instrument intended for use in general surgical and gynecologic procedures where ligation and division of vessels is desired. The instrument creates a seal by the application of bipolar electrosurgical RF energy (coagulation) to vascular structure (vessels) interposed between the jaws of the device. A cutting blade is actuated for the division of tissue. The indications for use include general surgical procedures (including urologic, vascular, thoracic, and thoracoscopic), and gynecologic surgery procedures where ligation and division of vessels is performed. These procedures include: vaginal hysterectomies, Nissen fundoplication, colectorny, adhesiolysis, bowel resections and oophorectomy etc., or any procedure where vessel ligation (cutting and sealing), tissue grasping, and dissection is performed. The device can be used on vessels up to and including 7mm and bundles as large as will fit in the jaws of the instrument. The Aragon Surgical Teleo Instrument has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures. Do not use the system for these procedures.
Device Description
The Aragon Surgical RF Systems consists of two components: the Aragon Surgical Generator and the Aragon Surgical Teleo Instrument. The Aragon Teleo Instrument is provided as sterile and is intended for single use. The device is capable of vessel sealing, blunt dissection, grasping and dividing tissue enclosed within its jaws.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgical instrument and generator, focusing on its mechanical and electrical functions for vessel sealing and cutting. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making processes within the device's operation.

Yes
The device is used for surgical procedures to ligate and divide vessels, indicating its direct involvement in treating medical conditions.

No

Explanation: The device description states its intended use for "ligation and division of vessels" and "tissue grasping, and dissection." It is an electrosurgical instrument used for intervention (cutting and sealing tissue), not for diagnosing conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of two components: a generator (hardware) and an instrument (hardware), and describes physical actions like applying RF energy and actuating a cutting blade.

Based on the provided information, the Aragon Surgical Teleo Instrument is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Aragon Surgical Teleo Instrument's Function: The description clearly states the instrument is used during surgical procedures for the ligation and division of vessels and tissue within the body. It applies bipolar electrosurgical energy directly to the tissue.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze specimens taken from the body. Its function is entirely focused on manipulating and treating tissue in situ.

Therefore, the Aragon Surgical Teleo Instrument is a surgical instrument used for therapeutic and procedural purposes, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
