No
The provided text describes a surgical device for tissue manipulation and coagulation and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

Yes
The device is intended for "resection, ablation, excision of soft tissue, hemostasis of blood vessels and in coagulating soft tissue in joints", which are therapeutic applications.

No
The device is described as an "Ablator and Coagulator" intended for "resection, ablation, excision of soft tissue, hemostasis of blood vessels and in coagulating soft tissue". These are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The intended use describes a device for resection, ablation, excision, hemostasis, and coagulation of soft tissue, which are physical actions typically performed by hardware devices, not software alone. The summary does not mention any software-specific functions or components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used during surgery on a patient's joints for procedures like resection, ablation, excision, hemostasis, and coagulation of soft tissue. This is an in vivo (within a living organism) application.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not fit that description.

The device is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body, not for testing samples outside the body.
