The description focuses on the electrosurgical mechanism, mechanical controls, and performance testing related to sealing and cutting tissue using RF energy. There is no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data-driven decision making within the device's operation.
Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for use in surgical procedures to ligate and divide vessels, tissue bundles, and lymphatics, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a bipolar electrosurgical device intended for use in surgical procedures to ligate (seal) and divide (cut) vessels, tissue bundles, and lymphatics. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one, as its purpose is to perform a medical intervention rather than to identify or characterize a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a bipolar electrosurgical device with a physical jaw, cutting blade, and pistol grip handle, indicating it is a hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for use in surgical procedures (laparoscopic/minimally invasive or open) to ligate and divide vessels, tissue bundles, and lymphatics within the body.
- Device Description: The description details a bipolar electrosurgical device with a cutting blade, designed to be used on tissue during surgery.
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
The POWERSEAL Sealer and Divider is an electrosurgical device used directly on tissue during surgical procedures, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic use.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
The POWERSEAL 5mm laparoscopic jaw sealer divider is an electrosurgical bipolar device with an integral extending cutting blade. It features a pistol grip handle and is provided in shaft lengths of 23, 37, and 44 cm.
The POWERSEAL devices will be provided as sterile, single-use, hand-held bipolar electrosurgical instruments designed for use with Olympus electrosurgical generators to ligate (seal) and divide (cut) vessels, tissue bundles, and lymphatics. The jaws of the POWERSEAL are designed to seal vessels, and grasp and dissect tissue during open and minimally invasive general surgical procedures using radiofrequency (RF) energy, otherwise known as high frequency (HF) energy. A hand-actuated mechanism allows the user to open and close the instrument jaws. When the instrument jaws are correctly placed over the tissue or vessel to be sealed, the user operates a second control to initiate delivery of bipolar energy, which seals the tissue. When the sealing is complete, the user operates a separate control to activate a blade, which divides the tissue along the seal line.
