Intended Use
The Heartport Handswitch Electrocautery Probe is used in conjunction with standard electrosurgical generators for the hemostatic dissection of tissue and coagulation of blood. The long, narrow shaft allows the device to be used during the endoscopic takedown of the Internal Mammary Artery. The probe's central lumen allows for the evacuation of smoke generated by electrocautery as well as the removal of fluid from the thoracic cavity. The central lumen may also be used to provide irrigation fluid to the surgical site.
Device Description
The Heartport Handswitch Electrocautery Probe is a device used in conjunction with standard electrosurgical generators for the hemostatic dissection of tissue and coagulation of blood. It has a long, narrow shaft and a central lumen for smoke evacuation, fluid removal, and irrigation.

No
The provided text describes a standard electrosurgical probe with features for dissection, coagulation, smoke evacuation, and fluid management. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML functionality. The performance studies focus on the device's physical capabilities, not algorithmic performance.

No
The device is used for electrosurgical purposes (dissection and coagulation) and fluid/smoke management during surgery, which are active interventional procedures rather than therapeutic in nature. While it aids in a surgical procedure meant to treat a condition, the device itself is a surgical tool, not a therapeutic device that directly treats, cures, or rehabilitates a disease or injury.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an electrocautery probe used for dissection, hemostasis, and fluid/smoke management during surgery. Its function is to perform a therapeutic procedure (tissue modification) rather than to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical probe with a shaft and lumen, used in conjunction with hardware (electrosurgical generators). It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "hemostatic dissection of tissue and coagulation of blood" during surgical procedures, specifically the endoscopic takedown of the Internal Mammary Artery. This is a direct surgical intervention on living tissue within the body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its use in conjunction with electrosurgical generators for surgical purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health status. This device does not perform any such analysis on specimens.

The device is a surgical tool used in vivo (within the living body) for therapeutic and hemostatic purposes, not for diagnostic testing of samples in vitro.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-Clinical Test Results: Performance: The Handswitch Electrocautery Probe was evaluated for its ability to dissect and cauterize tissue as well as evacuate smoke and fluid during operation . All Electrocautery Probes tested, effectively dissected and cauterized tissue, and evacuated smoke and fluids from the thoracic cavity. Biocompatibility: The patient contacting materials used to fabricate the Heartport Handswitch Electrocautery Probe are similar, and in most cases identical, to the materials used in the predicate devices.
