Intended Use
The VECTEC Disposable Monopolar Connection Cable is a sterile single-use device used to connect high frequency monopolar electrosurgical generators to various models of electrosurgical surgical instruments during laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery.
Device Description
The VECTEC Disposable Monopolar Cable is a 2.5 m cable used during routine laparoscopy and endoscopy procedures as the means of conveying high frequency electrical energy from a standard electrosurgical generator to standard electrosurgical instruments during surgery. Examples of such instruments include the range of VECTEC monopolar Scissors, Forceps, Dissectors, and Hook. VECTEC Disposable Monopolar Cables are single-use, sterile devices that are packaged individually and have a 2 or 5-year shelf life providing that the packaging is not damaged. The VECTEC monopolar cable is convenient for use in the operating room while having the high degree of performance expected from a surgical monopolar cable.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a simple cable for connecting electrosurgical equipment and the summary contains no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a cable that connects an electrosurgical generator to other surgical instruments. It facilitates the therapeutic action of other devices but does not itself provide a therapeutic effect on the patient.

No

The device is described as a cable that conveys high frequency electrical energy from a generator to surgical instruments for electrosurgical procedures, not for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device is a physical cable used to connect electrosurgical equipment, clearly indicating it is a hardware device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The VECTEC Disposable Monopolar Connection Cable is used during surgery to connect electrosurgical generators to surgical instruments. It transmits electrical energy to cut or coagulate tissue within the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for connecting equipment during laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery. This is an in vivo (within the living body) application, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

The description focuses on the device's role in surgical procedures and its electrical and sterilization properties, not on analyzing biological samples.
