No
The description focuses on standard electrosurgical generator controls and readouts, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as an electrosurgical generator intended for the coagulation of soft tissue, which is a medical intervention aimed at treating or managing a condition, thus making it a therapeutic device.

No

The device is an electrosurgical generator intended for the coagulation of soft tissue, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. While it has readouts for various parameters, these appear to be for monitoring and controlling the therapeutic energy delivery, rather than for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a physical electrosurgical generator with controls, readouts, and connectors for electrodes and a footpedal, as well as physical accessories like a power cable and footpedal. This indicates a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "coagulation of soft tissue." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is an "electrosurgical generator" used with "electrodes" to deliver energy for coagulation. This is a surgical tool.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens.

The Somnus™ Model 615 Electrosurgical Generator is a therapeutic medical device used for surgical procedures, not an IVD.
