Intended Use
The KIRWAN MODEL 28 1000 Generator is a general purpose solid state bipolar generator to supply the RF signal to electrosurgical handpieces used on soft body tissues where a wide range of tissue types, patient conditions, and load impedances are encountered.
Device Description
A 0-50 digital display power setting indicator provides the operator a parallax free reading of the power setting (+/- Swatts, full scale (@ 100 ohms). A bar graph display output current monitor provides the operator a relative measure of the output current amplitude and to denote the presence of output energy during activation. The handswitch is powered by an independent low voltage (7 Vdc) isolated power supply. Audio and Visual monitors are in accord with IEC 601-1-2 and ANSI HF-18 guidelines. IF and Low Frequency leakages are well within IEC 601-1-2 and ANSI HF-18 safety guide lines for isolated (body floating) ipolar coagulators.

No
The description focuses on standard electrosurgical generator features like power settings, current monitoring, and safety standards, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an electrosurgical generator used to supply RF signals to handpieces for use on soft body tissues, indicating it is directly involved in a medical procedure to treat or modify tissue.

No

The device is described as a "general purpose solid state bipolar generator to supply the RF signal to electrosurgical handpieces." This indicates it is used for surgical procedures (electrosurgery), specifically to apply energy to tissues, not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly details hardware components such as a generator, digital display, bar graph display, handswitch, and power supply, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the KIRWAN MODEL 28 1000 Generator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to supply an RF signal to electrosurgical handpieces for use on soft body tissues. This is a therapeutic/surgical application performed on the patient's body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the technical aspects of generating and monitoring the RF signal for surgical purposes. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not include any elements typically associated with IVDs, such as:
    • Analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of analytes
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition

Therefore, the KIRWAN MODEL 28 1000 Generator is an electrosurgical generator used for therapeutic procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

A 0-50 digital display power setting indicator provides the operator a parallax free reading of the power setting (+/- 5watts, full scale (@ 100 ohms). A bar graph display output current monitor provides the operator a relative measure of the output current amplitude and to denote the presence of output energy during activation. The handswitch is powered by an independent low voltage (7 Vdc) isolated power supply. Audio and Visual monitors are in accord with IEC 601-1-2 and ANSI HF-18 guidelines. RF and Low Frequency leakages are well within IEC 601-1-2 and ANSI HF-18 safety guide lines for isolated (body floating) ipolar coagulators. This device is identical to an existing approved device.
