More Information

No
The document describes a standard electrosurgical device and its generator, focusing on RF energy for sealing and a mechanical blade for division. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets for training or testing algorithms.

Yes
This device is a bipolar, electrosurgical device indicated for use in open and laparoscopic procedures where the ligation and division of vessels and tissue bundles is desired, aiming to seal and divide vessels. These actions are therapeutic in nature.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an electrosurgical device for ligating and dividing vessels and tissue, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a bipolar, electrosurgical device with mechanical components (jaws, blade) that uses RF energy from a separate generator. While software verification is mentioned, the core functionality and components are hardware-based.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Voyant Open Fusion and Voyant 5mm Fusion devices are surgical instruments used during procedures to seal and divide vessels and tissue using electrosurgical energy. They are used directly on the patient's body, not on samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical application ("open procedures," "laparoscopic procedures," "ligation and division of vessels and tissue bundles").
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical device with jaws and a blade, used with an electrosurgical generator, consistent with a surgical tool.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical, electrical, system (burst pressure, thermal spread), and animal testing, all relevant to a surgical device's performance and safety. There are no studies related to analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the Voyant Open Fusion and Voyant 5mm Fusion devices are surgical devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
