No
The device description explicitly states "The device does not contain software."
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "endovascular coagulation of blood vessels in patients with superficial vein reflux." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a "bipolar applicator" that uses "Radiofrequency Induced Thermotherapy (RFITT) technology for treating varicose veins." This describes a surgical or therapeutic instrument.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens.
The device is clearly intended for a therapeutic intervention within the patient's body, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Performance Testing Bench: Performance tests were executed to ensure that the device functioned as intended and met design specifications. The following non-clinical and preclinical tests were conducted:
- non-clinical (electrical, dimensional, functional, biocompatibility, stability)
- preclinical (simulated use) evaluation and testing of tissue effects and thermal safety
Non-clinical: Basic safety and performance testing was performed in accordance with IEC standards. In addition, verification and comparison bench studies were conducted to evaluate the functional performance.
Stability: Sterile samples were subjected to accelerated aging to confirm that the disposable devices maintain functionality and continue to meet specifications over time. The results of the accelerated age testing demonstrate that the device will be stable for the stated shelf-life. In addition, real time age testing will confirm the results of the accelerated age testing. Samples were also subjected to environmental conditioning and ship testing.
Preclinical: Evidence obtained from preclinical simulated use studies demonstrate that the device performs substantially equivalent to the predicate device in relevant aspects associated with usability, tissue effects, and thermal effects. For simulated use testing, three tissue types (porcine muscle, liver, and kidney) were evaluated in all applicable modes. The quality of intraluminal use was also verified for the applicable modes. The tissue effects testing included quantitative and qualitative assessment.
The ex vivo bench tests were based on three generator modes and three power settings which were applied five times to each of three different types of tissue. The testing demonstrated comparable performance and tissue effects to the predicate. Additionally, in order to verify the quality of the intraluminal use ten ex vivo bench tests based on three generator modes and three power settings were applied to intraluminal animal tissue which also showed comparable performance and tissue effects. All tests passed.
To demonstrate substantial equivalence tissue effects were compared during comparative validation testing. The simulated use testing established substantial equivalence with the predicate device for the intended use based on an assessment of non-clinical performance data, as per 807.92(b). These comprehensive validation bench tests support equivalence to the predicate device. Testing confirmed that comparable tissue effects could be achieved for applicable modes of operation.
Usability and user interface was also assessed according to the risk management plan. The assessment was based on Olympus predecessor product. Use-related hazardous situations were assessed and risk mitigation measures in terms of usability design for safety were defined. The residual risk was evaluated as acceptable. Risk analysis was carried out in accordance with established internal acceptance criteria based on ISO 14971:2007.
Reprocessing/ Sterilization: The CELON ProCurve V is sold in sterile condition and is defined as single use only and to be disposed of after use. Sterilization is performed according to ISO 11137-1 and packaging conforms to ISO 11607-1. The ionizing radiation (GAMMA rays) sterilization cycle has been validated. A sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10° was reached during validation and will be used for routine sterilization in compliance with regulations in force for sterile medical devices. Shelf Life testing was conducted, including performance testing and package integrity testing, to support a shelf life of 3.25 years for the CELON ProCurve V.
