No
The document describes a standard electrosurgical bipolar forceps and its intended use and testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology that would suggest the incorporation of AI/ML. The performance studies focus on electrical safety and mechanical integrity.
Yes
The device is used for bipolar coagulation for general open surgery, which involves treating soft tissue, and coagulation of tissue is a therapeutic action.
No
The device is an electrosurgical instrument used for coagulation and cutting of tissue, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is an electrosurgical instrument used to grasp, manipulate, cut or coagulate tissue, and mentions physical characteristics like lengths, tip configurations, and plug types. It also describes physical testing like drop testing. This indicates a hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided text, the Adeor Medical Non-stick Bipolar Forceps are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Adeor Medical Non-stick Bipolar Forceps are described as electrosurgical instruments used to directly interact with tissue during surgery for grasping, manipulating, cutting, or coagulating. They are used in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in a lab setting with specimens).
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "bipolar coagulation for general open surgery where coagulation of soft tissue is needed." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient.
Therefore, the function and intended use of the Adeor Medical Non-stick Bipolar Forceps align with a surgical instrument used in vivo, not an IVD device used in vitro.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Adeor Medical Non-stick Bipolar Forceps are intended for use by a physician familiar with electrosurgery in bipolar coagulation for general open surgery where coagulation of soft tissue is needed. Adeor bipolar forceps must be operated with the following parameters: Frequency range between 300 kHz; maximum generator operating voltage 600Vp.
The Adeor Medical Non-stick Bipolar Forceps have not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures and should not be used for these procedures.
The types of surgery intended include:
- ENT
- Gynecology (except for use in female sterilization)
- Urology
- General surgery
- Neurosurgery
- Laryngeal Surgery
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Thoracic Surgery

Device Description
The Adeor Medical AG Bipolar Forceps are electrosurgical instruments used to grasp, manipulate, cut or coagulate tissue. Bipolar forceps have various lengths and tip configurations, as well as irrigation and suction technologies. Both reusable and single-use forceps are available, with flat plug or two pin plug configurations. Bipolar forceps are connected through a suitable bipolar cable with the bipolar output of a high frequency generator and may be used only with bipolar coagulation current. Adeor bipolar forceps must be operated with the following parameters: Frequency range between 300 kHz and 1,000 kHz: maximum generator operating voltage 600Vn.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Electrical Safety Testing: performed per IEC 60601-2-2: 2017. Testing included isolation of active accessories, high-frequency leakage currents, high-frequency dielectric strength, and mains frequency dielectric strength. Instruments did not show any signs of impairment or loss of mechanical function; therefore, testing was successfully completed.
Wear: Not a concern as the device is not manufactured from a novel material and does not contain articulating components.
Function: Drop testing was performed. Forceps were dropped multiple times and inspected for grasping capabilities, frequency output, and visual damage. All test articles met the acceptance criteria.
Mechanical Strength: Not a concern due to high strength of material and low forces. Testing specific to strength not necessary.
System Testing: No further performance testing required due to identical design, materials, manufacturing, manufacturer, and function to predicate devices.

Non-Clinical Testing:
Electrical Safety
Electrical Safety Testing was performed on the Adeor Bipolar Forceps per IEC 60601-2-2: 2017 Medical Electrical Equipment- Part 2-2: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of high frequency surgical equipment and high frequency surgical accessories. Isolation of active accessories, high-frequency leakage currents, high-frequency dielectric strength, and mains frequency dielectric strength testing was performed. Instruments did not show any signs of impairment or loss of mechanical function; therefore, testing was successfully completed.
Non-Clinical
Wear
The device is not manufactured from a novel material and does not contain articulating components. There is no concern for wear or debris.
Function
Drop testing was performed on the bipolar forceps to ensure that dropping the device will not cause damage to the device nor loss of functionality. Forceps were dropped multiple times and inspected for grasping capabilities, frequency output, and visual damage. All test articles met the acceptance criteria.

Image /page/7/Picture/2 description: The image shows the logo for Adeor Medical. The logo consists of a stylized blue brain on the left, followed by the word "adeor" in black, sans-serif font. Below "adeor" is the word "MEDICAL" in smaller, sans-serif font, also in black.
Mechanical Strength
Due to the high strength of the material and the low forces that the device may be subject to, there is no concern for mechanical strength of the forceps. Testing specific to the strength of the device is not necessary.
System Testing
The Adeor forceps are identical to the predicate in design, materials, manufacturing, manufacturer and function. No further performance testing is required.
Conclusion:
Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison with the predicate device, the subject device has demonstrated substantial equivalence.
