No
The summary describes a passive attenuator/splitter and a cutting/coagulating electrode, which are electrosurgical tools. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components.

Yes
The device is described as being indicated for "cutting and coagulation of the tissue," which signifies a direct medical intervention for therapeutic purposes.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an RF Passive Attenuator/Splitter and a Cutting/Coagulating Electrode, indicated for "cutting and coagulation of the tissue." This function is therapeutic, not diagnostic. There is no mention of it being used to identify or analyze medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly mentions "RF Passive Attenuator/Splitter Model I 100, I 200 and Cutting/Coagulating Electrode Model R 10," which are hardware components used in electrosurgery.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "cutting and coagulation of the tissue" using electrosurgery. This is a direct surgical intervention on living tissue, not an in vitro test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device components (attenuator/splitter and electrode) are consistent with electrosurgical equipment used for tissue manipulation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to physically alter tissue during surgery.

Dear Dr. Wehman:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Farts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assurves compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements , as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does

not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) ---premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled.
