Intended Use
The DSP Worldwide Snowden-Pencer Micro Diamond-Point™ Dissection Needles are electrosurgical electrodes which are intended for use as accessories to electrosurgical devices to cut tissue (dissection) and control bleeding for general, plastic, and reconstructive surgery.
Device Description
The DSP Worldwide Suowden-Pencer Micro Diamond-Point™ Dissection Needles are inserted into the electrosurgical handpiece. As with all other electrosurgical electrodes, energy is applied to the tissuc with the highest concentration at the tip of the electrode. The Micro Diamond-Pointer Dissection Needles are provided in a variety of lengths and contigurations The electricie of a tungeten needlo rip inserted into a stainless steel sleeve. This needle assembly is then covered with two layers of heat shrink tubing for insulation. Micro Diamond-Point™ Dissection Needless are provided nonsterile, for single use only. Devices are provided three per package and require sterilization prior to use. Sterilization instructions are provided in device labeling.

No
The summary describes a simple electrosurgical electrode and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is an accessory to electrosurgical devices used for cutting tissue and controlling bleeding, rather than providing a therapeutic effect itself.

No

Explanation: The device is an electrosurgical electrode used to cut tissue and control bleeding, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical electrosurgical electrode made of tungsten and stainless steel, covered with heat shrink tubing. It is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is an electrosurgical electrode used to "cut tissue (dissection) and control bleeding for general, plastic, and reconstructive surgery." This describes a surgical tool used directly on a patient's tissue.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not perform any such testing.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical electrode designed to deliver electrical energy for surgical purposes. It does not describe any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the DSP Worldwide Snowden-Pencer Micro Diamond-Point™ Dissection Needles are surgical devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
