No

The device description explicitly states "The Solero Microwave Tissue Ablation (MTA) System and Accessories are indicated for the ablation of soft tissue during open procedures." This indicates a system that includes hardware components for tissue ablation, not just software. The performance studies also mention "System Integration Testing," further suggesting a hardware-software integrated system.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The description clearly states the device is for the "ablation of soft tissue during open procedures." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: Reinforces the intended use of "ablation of soft tissue."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens.

The Solero Microwave Tissue Ablation (MTA) System is a therapeutic device used for destroying soft tissue within the body.
