The description focuses on the physical components and function of a standard electrosurgical electrode, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
The device is used for cutting and coagulating soft tissues, which are surgical interventions, not necessarily therapeutic in the sense of treating a disease or condition directly through therapy.
No
Explanation: The device is an electrosurgical electrode used to cut and/or coagulate soft tissues, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic. Its function is to deliver high-frequency current for surgery, not to identify or monitor medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a conductive electrode tip, insulated shaft, and conductive post, 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 is to "cut and / or coagulate soft tissues by means of high frequency electrical current during an electrosurgical procedure." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's tissues, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical electrode designed to deliver electrical current for cutting and coagulation. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue biopsies, etc.).
- Operation: The device is used in conjunction with an electrosurgical generator and patient grounding pad, which are typical components of an electrosurgical system used for direct surgical intervention.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies described involve testing on porcine tissue to evaluate the thermal effect and tissue stickiness during cutting and coagulation, which are relevant to surgical performance, not diagnostic testing.
In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that definition.

Device Description
The Single Use Micro Electrodes are the monopolar active device which consist of a conductive electrode tip, an insulated shaft and a conductive post.
The conductive electrode tip configuration includes micro needles, scalpel blade, ball, broadbent, wire, triangle loop, diamond loop and round loop.
The conductive electrode tip is the conductive portion of the electrode which delivers high frequency current onto a soft tissue for cutting and coagulation during an electro-surgery
The insulated shaft is the mid portion of the electrode. It is insulated with non-conductive material included Polyolefin and /or PTFE Shrink Wrap, overmold, in order to prevent accidental conduction of the electrosurgical current from this point to the patient.
The conductive post is used to pluq the electrode into the nozzle of an electrosurgical pencil from which it receives the electrical current. The diameter of the conductive post is available in 2.36mm and 1.6mm.
This device is used in conjunction with electrosurgical pencil, a compatible monopolar electrosurgical generator and patient grounding pad during electrosurgical procedure.

Dear Mr. Woo:
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.
