More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgical electrode and makes no mention of AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

Yes
The device is intended to provide electrocautery, which is a therapeutic intervention using electricity to cauterize tissue.

No

The device description and intended use indicate it is an electrosurgical electrode for electrocautery, which is a therapeutic (treatment) function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "reusable electrode," which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "electrocautery over a large surface" by practitioners. This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's tissue, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "reusable electrode for use in monopolar electrosurgical accessories." This is a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or assays

The device is clearly intended for therapeutic use (electrocautery) during a surgical procedure.
