More Information

No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgical probe and handle for tissue excision and coagulation, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as being used to "excise tissue and coagulate tissue," which are medical procedures aimed at treating or alleviating a condition, thus classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No
The device description states its function is to "excise tissue and coagulate bleeding," which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "Endoscopic Electrosurgical Probe and Handle," which are physical hardware components used in conjunction with an electrical generator. This is not a software-only 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 "Excise tissue and coagulate tissue." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is an "Endoscopic Electrosurgical Probe and Handle" used in conjunction with an electrical generator. This is a surgical instrument used for cutting and controlling bleeding during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. The provided description does not mention any analysis of specimens.

Therefore, this device is a surgical instrument, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
