No
The description details a device based on ultrasonic fragmentation, irrigation, and suction, controlled by a microprocessor and user interface. There is no mention of AI or ML capabilities for data analysis, decision-making, or adaptive control.
No
The device is used for surgical tissue removal (fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration) rather than for treating a disease or condition for therapeutic purposes.
No
The device description clearly states its purpose is for "fragmentation, emulsification and aspiration of soft tissue" during neurosurgery, acting as a surgical aspirator. It describes mechanical actions (ultrasonic vibrations, irrigation, suction) to remove tissue, not to diagnose conditions or capture diagnostic information.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a hand-held surgical aspirator, piezoelectric transducer, titanium sonotrode, vacuum pump, base console, hand-piece unit, and control pedal. It is a physical device with software controlling its operation, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "Fragmentation, emulsification and aspiration of soft tissue in the neurosurgery field." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's tissue in vivo.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical aspirator that uses ultrasonic vibrations, irrigation, and suction to remove tissue during surgery. It is a tool used during a surgical procedure.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis on samples. It is used to remove tissue from the body.
The device is clearly a surgical instrument used for tissue removal during neurosurgery, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The DISSECTRON is an ultrasonically vibrating hand-held surgical aspirator designed to precisely fragment and emulsify unwanted neurosurgical tissue, layer by layer, with preservation of major blood vessels, nerves, and elastic fibers.
The DISSECTRON's selective effect on tissue is the result of three combined factors:
- Ultrasonic fragmentation,
- Irrigation, and,
- Suction.
The DISSECTRON's principle of operation is tissular fragmentation which is achieved through uitrasonic longitudinal vibrations at an oscillation amplitude varying from 120 to 300um, at an operating frequency comprised between 23 and 35 kHz at the tip of the handpiece. The ultrasonic power is transmitted via a piezoelectric transducer, housed in the handpiece, which extends into a titanium sonotrode which is in direct contact with the tissue. It is possible to precisely dissect tissue with less surrounding tissue invasion and blood loss with DISSECTRON.
Simultaneous irrigation is provided to the distal end of the tip. Sterile saline is routed from the drip holder to the control unit to the tip of the electrostrictive handpiece.
A vacuum pump aspirates emulsified tissue in the pressure range of 650 hPa. Irrigating fluid and fragmented tissue particles are continuously aspirated through the distal end of the hollow titanium sonotrode (tip) and transported, via disposable tubing, to a collection bottle ("receptacle").
The DISSECTRON, a compact, portable, tabletop ultrasonic surgical aspirator installed in the surgical suite within the user's reach, consists of three primary components:
- . the base console,
- the hand-piece unit, (with 2 sonotrode dedicated extensions, and, .
- the control pedal (footswitch). .
The base console is controlled by a microprocessor and provides various indicators and controls designed to lead the operator through the sequential procedures needed for safe operation. Touch screen controls and displays provide the surgeon with a user friendly device.
The lightweight electrostrictive handpiece is equipped with a titanium sonotrode, which acts as an ultrasonic transmitter, and is fitted with central suction and concentric irrigation.
The foot pedal has two footswitches, a right switch, and a left switch, respectively, to control the Suction, Irrigation, and Ultrasound power.
