No
The summary describes manually operated, reusable surgical instruments for thermal coagulation, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational capabilities.

No
The device is used for thermal coagulation during surgical procedures, which is a surgical intervention rather than a therapeutic treatment for a disease.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a thermocoagulator used to "thermally coagulate tissue during laparoscopic surgical procedures". This is a therapeutic function (coagulation of tissue), not a diagnostic one (identifying a disease or condition).

No

The device description clearly states it is a manually operated, reusable surgical device made of surgical grade stainless steel, indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "thermally coagulate tissue during laparoscopic surgical procedures in gynecology." This describes a surgical intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device description details surgical instruments (point coagulator, crocodile forceps, myoma enucleator) used for physical manipulation and thermal coagulation of tissue in vivo.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) during surgery.

Indication: The KSEA thermocoagulation accessories are designed to thermally coagulate tissue during laparoscopic surgical procedures in gynecology.

Device Description: The KSEA thermocoagulator accessories are manually operated, reusable surgical devices consisting of a point coagulator, crocodile forceps and a myoma enucleator. The instruments are long enough to gain access to the surgical area and are designed to be used as accessories to laparoscopes. The body contact materials are surgical grade stainless steel.

Substantial Equivalence: The KSEA thermocoagulator accessories are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices since the basic features, design and intended uses are the same. The minor differences in design and dimensions between the KSEA thermocoagulator accessories and the predicate devices raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness, as these design differences have no effect on the performance, function or intended use of these devices.
