The summary describes a standard electrosurgical generator and its functionalities (cutting, coagulation, vessel sealing) based on high-frequency energy delivery. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision-making within the device's operation. The performance studies focus on electrical safety, compatibility, thermal effects, and human factors, not on the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.
Yes.
The device is used to deliver high-frequency energy for cutting, coagulation, and vessel sealing of tissues during surgical procedures. By performing these functions, it directly treats and alters tissues, which classifies it as a therapeutic device.
No
This device is an electrosurgical generator designed to deliver high-frequency energy for cutting, coagulation, and vessel sealing of tissues during surgical procedures. It performs therapeutic functions rather than diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly states it is an "electrosurgical unit (ESU)" and describes hardware components like outputs for high-frequency energy, LED indicators, and an LCD display. It also mentions compatibility with physical instruments and footswitches. The performance studies include hardware requirements and electrical safety testing, further indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software.
Based on the provided information, the da Vinci E-200 Electrosurgical Generator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "deliver high-frequency energy for cutting, coagulation and vessel sealing of tissues in da Vinci robotic procedures, and non-robotic open and laparoscopic procedures." This describes a device used during surgical procedures on living tissue, not a device used to test samples outside of the body to diagnose conditions.
- Device Description: The description details an electrosurgical unit that provides energy for surgical actions (cutting, sealing, coagulating tissue). This aligns with a surgical device, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.)
- Detecting specific analytes or markers
- Providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition
- Use in a laboratory setting
The device is clearly designed for surgical intervention and manipulation of tissue within the body.

Device Description
The da Vinci E-200 is an electrosurgical unit (ESU) designed to provide high-frequency (HF) traditional monopolar, bipolar, and advanced bipolar outputs intended for cutting, coagulation and/or vessel sealing of tissues. The da Vinci E-200 is intended to be used with the IS4000/IS4200 da Vinci surgical systems, and also operate as a standalone electrosurgical generator. When connected to the da Vinci surgical system, the E-200 provides HF output to da Vinci instruments. Control and status messages are passed between the E-200 and the da Vinci system through an Ethernet communication cable. The E-200 is also compatible with open and laparoscopic third-party handheld monopolar and bipolar instruments, fingerswitch equipped instruments (where applicable) and Intuitive provided auxiliary footswitches. The primary function of the E-200 Electrosurgical Generator is to allow a surgeon to deliver HF output to cut, seal, or coagulate tissue during surgery. The user interface includes audible indicator tones, LED indicators on the front of the generator, and status messages provided on its LCD display.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Verification and validation activities were successfully completed that establish that the E-200 Electrosurgical Generator performs as intended and is substantially equivalent to its predicate, da Vinci E-200 Electrosurgical Generator. Testing included the following:
Design Verification (bench testing):
The subject E-200 Electrosurgical Generator was subjected to a series of tests to evaluate performance and to demonstrate that the design outputs meet the design input requirements. The design verification testing provided confirmation that the device meets the requirements for the following:
- Hardware requirements
- EMC and Electrical Safety requirements
- Software requirements including Cybersecurity
- System interface requirements
- Instrument compatibility requirements
- Packaging and Labeling
Design Validation; In-vivo testing with a porcine model was used to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the subject E-200 generator, and included utilization of its accessories (auxiliary footswitches and power cord), compatible robotic system(s), da Vinci and third-party instrument(s) and accessories in a representative simulated surgical setting. Design validation activities demonstrated that the design outputs fulfill the user needs and that the intended use have been met.
Thermal effects testing demonstrated the ability of the subject E-200 generator monopolar "Low" coagulation mode to create comparable thermal effects on tissue to the Soft Coag of Valleylab FT-10 Energy Platform (K151649), the reference device.
A neutral electrode contact quality monitor (CQM) study demonstrated conformance of the COM system on the subject E-200 generator when used with the Erbe Nessy Monitoring Split pad (20193-074) to IEC 60601-2-2:2017. The study validated the compatibility of the Erbe, Nessy Monitoring Split pad neutral electrode (commercially available product) with the E-200 generator.
An evaluation of the capacitive coupling behavior of the E-200 generator performed using third party laparoscopic monopolar accessories demonstrated that the E-200 generator had no increase in unintended capacitively coupled energy delivery when compared to the predicate da Vinci E-200 Electrosurgical Generator.
The human factors evaluation determined that the subject E-200 ESU with its accessories in integrated, backup, and standalone setup configurations is safe and effective for its intended uses by the intended users, in the intended use environment.
