No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgical probe and its reprocessing, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
Explanation: The device is used in electrosurgical procedures for resection, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue, as well as hemostasis of blood vessels, all of which are therapeutic actions.

No
The device is described as a radio-frequency probe used for surgical procedures like resection, ablation, coagulation, and hemostasis, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly mentions physical components like an "energy-transferring cable" and "different tip configurations and suction probes," indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used in electrosurgical procedures for resection, ablation, coagulation, and hemostasis of soft tissue and blood vessels during arthroscopic surgery. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a radio-frequency probe with different tip configurations and suction capabilities, all designed for direct surgical intervention.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose or monitor conditions. This device is a surgical tool used on the body during a procedure.
