Intended Use
The Medicamat B.U.S. Endotron® Ultrasonic Suction Unit is a classic ultrasonic scalpel, based on the principle of the breakdown and selective emulsification of tissue through cavitation. It utilizes the same fundamental principles as other ultrasonic surgical aspirators. The B.U.S. Endotron® is intended for use for general soft tissue removal in a variety of surgical applications, such as neurosurgery, hepatosurgery, general surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery. The intended uses are the same as those for the predicate devices. Endotron® units are for use by skilled physicians who use them in accordance with procedures and practices taught in special medical training.

No
The description focuses on the physical principles of ultrasonic tissue breakdown and suction, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing or data-driven algorithms.

Yes
The device is used for surgical applications involving soft tissue removal, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an "ultrasonic scalpel" and is "intended for use for general soft tissue removal in a variety of surgical applications." This indicates it is a surgical tool for treatment, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "Ultrasonic Suction Unit" and an "ultrasonic scalpel," which are hardware devices.

Based on the provided information, the Medicamat B.U.S. Endotron® Ultrasonic Suction Unit is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "general soft tissue removal in a variety of surgical applications." This describes a surgical device used on the patient's body during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by calling it an "ultrasonic scalpel" and describing its function in breaking down and emulsifying tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health. The provided text does not mention any such use or interaction with patient specimens.

Therefore, the Medicamat B.U.S. Endotron® is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
