No
The provided text describes a standard electrosurgical device for suction and coagulation and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is used for surgical procedures like fluid evacuation and tissue coagulation, which are actions performed during surgery, not treatments in themselves.

No
The device is described as being used for surgical procedures involving fluid evacuation and tissue coagulation, not for diagnosing conditions. Its intended use focuses on treatment during surgery.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "disposable device" and a "Bipolar Suction Coagulator," which are physical hardware components used in surgical procedures. The performance studies also reference standards for "Medical Electrical Equipment" and "Electrosurgical Devices," further indicating a hardware-based device.

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 for "soft tissue surgical procedures that require slow to rapid fluid evacuation and low energy output for the coagulation of the tissue". This describes a device used on the patient during surgery, not a device used to test samples from the patient outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description reiterates the surgical use case.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's tissue.
