Intended Use
Cables for electrosurgery are designed to conduct electrical power from the output of a high-frequency electrosurgical generator to the electrosurgical instrument. Do not exceed a maximum output of 6250 Vp of your generator.
Device Description
Bissinger monopolar cables are non-sterile, reusable Monopolar Cables fitting Bovie Electrosurgical units. They are designed to conduct electrical power from the output of a high frequency generator to the instrument.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the electrical and mechanical properties of cables for electrosurgery, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is a cable that conducts electrical power to an electrosurgical instrument, which then performs the therapeutic action. The cable itself is not performing a therapeutic function on the patient.

No
The device, a monopolar cable for electrosurgery, is designed to conduct electrical power for surgical procedures (cutting, coagulation), not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical cable designed to conduct electrical power, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to conduct electrical power from an electrosurgical generator to an instrument for surgical procedures. This is a therapeutic/surgical function, not a diagnostic one performed on in vitro samples.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its role in electrosurgery, a surgical technique.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Mr. Bissinger:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. Title 21. Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical
