Intended Use
The Stryker Bipolar Forceps are intended to be used during bipolar electrosurgery to grasp, manipulate and coagulate selected soft tissue. They are connected through a suitable bipolar cable to the bipolar output of an electrosurgical generator. Bipolar forceps must only be used with bipolar coagulation current. The Stryker Bipolar Forceps have not been shown to be effective for tubal ligation or tubal cauterization for sterilization procedures and should not be used for these procedures.
Device Description
The Stryker Leibinger range of Bipolar Forceps contains instruments of various lengths, shapes and sizes. By means of a suitable bipolar cable, the forceps are connected with the bipolar output of an electrosurgery electrosurgical generator. Coagulation is achieved using electrosurgical energy generated by the electrosurgical generator activated by a footswitch. In the course of a surgical intervention, bipolar forceps may also be used to grasp and manipulate soft tissue without the activation of the high frequency current. The Stryker Bipolar Forceps are reusable and provided non-sterile. All forceps must be cleaned and sterilized prior to every use.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical function of bipolar forceps for electrosurgery, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as an instrument used during bipolar electrosurgery to grasp, manipulate, and coagulate tissue, rather than directly providing therapy itself. It facilitates a medical procedure but is not a therapeutic device on its own.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose is for grasping, manipulating, and coagulating soft tissue using electrosurgery, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical instrument (forceps) used in electrosurgery, requiring connection to a generator and cable. It is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Stryker Bipolar Forceps are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "grasp, manipulate and coagulate selected soft tissue" during bipolar electrosurgery. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device description details its use in a surgical setting, connected to an electrosurgical generator to apply energy to tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. The Stryker Bipolar Forceps do not perform this function.

The device is a surgical instrument used for therapeutic purposes (coagulation) and manipulation of tissue in vivo.
