Intended Use
The intended use of this device is to conduct monopolar electrosurgical energy from an electrosurgical unit (ESU) or generator, to an electrosurgical electrode and subsequently to the target tissue. The device is disposable and sold sterile.
Device Description
This device has a molded plastic housing. The mode switch selects the appropriate electrosurgical function (CUT or COAG). Exiting the housing is a ten foot cable which has a standard 3-prong plug to connect to the generator. The electrode packaged with this pencil will be either a coated electrode or a regular bare electrode, and with or without a holster. TThis device is a single use, disposable. lt is sold sterile.

No
The description focuses on the electrosurgical function and physical components, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is used to conduct electrosurgical energy to tissue, which is a surgical tool, not a therapeutic device. It is meant to cut or coagulate tissue, not to treat a condition or disease.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an electrosurgical energy delivery device used for cutting or coagulation of tissue, operating with an electrosurgical unit or generator. Its function is therapeutic (delivering energy to tissue), not diagnostic (identifying or characterizing disease).

No

The device description explicitly details physical components such as a molded plastic housing, a mode switch, a cable, a plug, and an electrode. These are hardware components, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device's function is to "conduct monopolar electrosurgical energy... to the target tissue." This is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological samples from the patient. The device's purpose is to deliver energy for cutting or coagulating tissue.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
