More Information

No
The description focuses on electro-coagulation using high-frequency current and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes

The device is intended for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electro-coagulation, which involves treating or managing a medical condition.

No
The device description states its use is for "electro-coagulation" and "tissue coagulation by means of high-frequency current," which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a main unit, handpieces, cables, foot switch, LCD touchscreen, ground pad, and power cable.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "electro-coagulation in dermatologic and general surgical procedures." This describes a therapeutic or surgical intervention performed directly on the patient's tissue, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details an instrument that uses high-frequency current for tissue coagulation. This is a physical process applied to the body, not a method for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue biopsies, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to alter tissue through electro-coagulation, which is a surgical procedure.

Device Description

This device is an instrument used for tissue coagulation by means of high-frequency current. It consists of the main unit, Four handpieces, GP Cable, foot switch, LCD touchscreen, ground pad and power cable.

The SILKRO has two operating modes: monopolar mode and bipolar mode. In the monopolar mode, RF energy flows from the main unit and a patient loop is formed by pairing the active electrode tip with the neutral electrode pad. Heat is not generated in the neutral electrode pad due to its low contact resistance, but heat is generated in the active electrode tip which has higher contact resistance. The higher contact resistance heats up the tissue resulting in coagulation. In the bipolar mode, RF energy is delivered between adjacent needles in the electrode tip without use of the neutral electrode pad. The user can select the mode and adjust parameters through the touch screen user interface of the electrosurgical device.

RF(HF) energy is delivered to the target tissue using a handpiece (RM, RN, RC, RV) and electrode tip, the tip being placed in light contact with the epidermis and the handpiece being held at right anqles to the tarqet tissue. As the HF energy passes through the skin, it generates an electro RF reaction, which is capable of coaqulating the tissue.

4. Device Description - 807.92(a)(4)

This device is an instrument used for tissue coagulation by means of high-frequency current. It consists of the main unit, Four handpieces, GP Cable, foot switch, LCD touchscreen, ground pad and power cable.

The SILKRO has two operating modes: monopolar mode and bipolar mode. In the monopolar mode, RF energy flows from the main unit and a patient loop is formed by pairing the active electrode tip with the neutral electrode pad. Heat is not generated in the neutral electrode pad due to its low contact resistance, but heat is generated in the active electrode tip which has higher contact resistance. The higher contact resistance heats up the tissue resulting in coagulation. In the bipolar mode, RF energy is delivered between adjacent needles in the electrode tip without use of the neutral electrode pad. The user can select the mode and adjust parameters through the touch screen user interface of the electrosurgical device.

RF(HF) energy is delivered to the target tissue using a handpiece (RM, RN, RC, RV) and electrode tip, the tip being placed in light contact with the epidermis and the handpiece being held at right anqles to the tarqet tissue. As the HF energy passes through the skin, it generates an electro RF reaction, which is capable of coaqulating the tissue.
