The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and materials of the forceps, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing of data.
Yes
The device is described as "electrosurgical forceps" used for "bipolar and monopolar coagulation for general surgery where coagulation of soft tissue is needed," indicating its application in treating or affecting a disease/condition.
No
Explanation: The device is described as electrosurgical forceps intended for coagulation of soft tissue, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function. It is used to apply current for tissue modification, not to gather information about a patient's condition.
No
The device description clearly states that the device is a reusable physical instrument (forceps) made of stainless steel and insulated with Polyamide, intended for use in electrosurgery. It is a hardware device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the forceps are for "bipolar and monopolar coagulation for general surgery where coagulation of soft tissue is needed." This describes a surgical procedure performed on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details surgical instruments (forceps) used with electrosurgical generators to apply current to tissue. This aligns with surgical tools, not diagnostic tests.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical tool used for treatment.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The EGON FAULHABER Bipolar, Non-Stick Bipolar and Monopolar Forceps are intended for use by a physician familiar with electrosurgery in bipolar and monopolar coagulation for general surgery where coagulation of soft tissue is needed. The bipolar forceps are used with the bipolar and the monopolar forceps with the monopolar output of standard electrosurgical generators. The EGON FAULHABER Bipolar and Monopolar Forceps have not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures and should not be used for these procedures.
The types of surgery intended are:
General surgery, Laryngeal coagulation, Orthopedic coagulation, Thoracic coagulation, Neurosurgical coagulation, Gynecological coagulation (except for use in female sterilization), Urological coagulation, Ear-, Nose- and Throat coagulation.

Device Description
The EGON:FAULHABER Bipolar, Non-Stick Bipolar and Monopolar Forceps are reusable devices and provided non sterile. They must be cleaned and sterilized before use.
Bipolar Forceps (see catalogue pages 08.01 - 08.09):
The branches are made of stainless steel insulated with Polyamide (PA) except for the tip of the instrument. The EGON FAULHABER Bipolar Forceps are of the same basic design with differences in tip sizes and handle styles. Two types of electrical plugs are available: flat plug, or 2 pin plug. The Bipolar Forceps are to be connected through a suitable bipolar cable with the bipolar output of an electrosurgical generator. Bipolar Forceps must only be used with bipolar coagulation current.
Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps (see catalogue pages 07.01 - 07.09):
The Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps have the same characteristics as the Bipolar Forceps except for the special material with excellent thermal properties, applied to the tips of the forceps. Thereby difficult and time consuming cleaning of the forceps during an operation can be avoided and enables non-stop working. The non-stick effect is permanently ensured and will not be reduced, even if subject to frequent sterilization.
Monopolar Forceps (see catalogue pages 09.01 - 09.03):
The branches are made of stainless steel insulated with Polyamide (PA) except for the tip of the instrument. The EGON FAULHABER Monopolar Forceps are of the same basic design with differences in tip sizes and handle styles. They are available with or with out plug socket. The Monopolar Forceps can be connected through a suitable monopolar cable with the monopolar output of an electrosurgical generator.
Monopolar Forceps must only be used with monopolar coagulation current.
