Yes
The device is used in open surgical procedures to ligate and divide vessels and tissue, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is described as a bipolar, electrosurgical device used for ligation and division of vessels and tissue bundles, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "advanced bipolar instrument" with "jaws" and a "mechanical, user-actuated blade," indicating it is a physical hardware device. The performance studies also include mechanical testing and animal studies, which are not applicable to software-only devices.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a bipolar, electrosurgical device used in open procedures for the ligation and division of vessels and tissue bundles. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument that uses RF energy to seal tissue and a mechanical blade to divide it. This is consistent with a surgical tool, not a device used to examine samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body. IVDs are typically used in laboratories or point-of-care settings to diagnose diseases or conditions based on the analysis of these samples.

Therefore, the Voyant Fine Fusion device is a surgical instrument used for therapeutic purposes during open procedures, not an IVD.
