The description focuses on traditional electrosurgical principles and safety features, with no mention of AI or ML. The "Automatically adjusted output" is likely based on pre-programmed algorithms or feedback loops, not learned patterns.
Yes
The device is used for cutting and coagulation of human tissue in surgical procedures, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
Explanation: The device is an electrosurgical generator used for cutting and coagulation of tissue during surgical procedures, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is an "electrosurgical generator" and describes hardware components and functions related to delivering high-frequency electrical current for cutting and coagulation of tissue. While it mentions "self checking software," this software is part of a larger hardware system.
Based on the provided information, the BOVIE Model X40 Electrosurgical Generator is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "cutting and coagulation of human tissue" during laparoscopic surgical procedures. This is a direct intervention on living tissue within the body (in vivo).
- Device Description: The description focuses on the electrosurgical generator's function in applying high-frequency current to tissue for thermal effects. This is a therapeutic and surgical function, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside the body, which is the core activity of an IVD.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The BOVIE Model X40 is a surgical tool used directly on the patient.

Device Description
For more than 50 years, high-frequency (HF) surgery has been used to cut and/or coagulate biological tissue using the intrinsic thermal effect of electric current. Berchtold has produced a state-of-the-art electrosurgical generator for international distribution. The BOVIE Model X40 represents one of the latest of these instruments. It is based upon Berchtold's long standing commitment to the provision of high quality surgical equipment and is produced in accordance with established international standards for such instruments.
In order to protect the patient and user from inadvertent injury from the use of this instrument it is provided with several safety features. These include:
Self checking software which performs an automatic safety check each time the instrument is turned on.
Real time, continuous monitoring of the patient contact with the neutral electrode.
Automatic detection of the use of split or single plate neutral electrode.
Automatic monitoring of HF leakage current and non-programed output.
Automatic detection and display of malfunction.
State-of-the-art control panel with audio (spoken) verification of unit function and confinmation of foot or finger switch activation.
Automatic cut-off to prevent excess tissue over-heating and electrode sticking.
Automatically adjusted output to ensure the cutting power is maintained at the minimum level required to effect the cut as tissue characteristics or electrode geometry change.

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS
For more than 50 years, high-frequency (HF) surgery has been used to cut and/or coagulate biological tissue using the intrinsic thermal effect of electric current. Berchtold has produced a state-of-the-art electrosurgical generator for international distribution. The BOVIE Model X40 represents one of the latest of these instruments. It is based upon Berchtold's long standing commitment to the provision of high quality surgical equipment and is produced in accordance with established international standards for such instruments.
In order to protect the patient and user from inadvertent injury from the use of this instrument it is provided with several safety features. These include:
Self checking software which performs an automatic safety check each time the instrument is turned on.
Real time, continuous monitoring of the patient contact with the neutral electrode.

Automatic cut-off to prevent excess tissue over-heating and electrode sticking.
Automatically adjusted output to ensure the cutting power is maintained at the minimum level required to effect the cut as tissue characteristics or electrode geometry change.
We believe the above mentioned safety features, and the test results obtained and included in this 510(k) Notification demonstrate that the BOVIE Model X40 is safe and effective for its intended use.

Dear Mr. Clark:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
