No
The summary describes a simple monopolar electrode for delivering radio frequency energy, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

Yes
The device is intended for "ablation and coagulation of soft tissue," which are therapeutic actions to treat medical conditions.

No
The provided text states that the device is indicated for ablation and coagulation of soft tissue, which are therapeutic procedures. It is not described as a device used to identify or determine the nature of a disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "monopolar electrode designed to deliver radio frequency energy," indicating it is a hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Bard V-Max24 Roller Bar is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "ablation and coagulation of soft tissue," which is a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: It's described as a "monopolar electrode designed to deliver radio frequency energy," which is consistent with a surgical instrument.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body, which is the defining characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Bard V-Max24 Roller Bar is a therapeutic device used during surgery.
