No
The summary describes surgical tools (diathermy loops and coagulation balls) and their intended uses, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis capabilities.

Yes
The device is used for the "diagnosis and treatment" of various conditions, indicating a therapeutic purpose in addition to diagnosis.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section mentions "Diagnosis and treatment of some Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasias (CIN I, III) and Cervical Dysplasia," indicating a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly mentions "Diathermy loops and Coagulation Balls," which are physical hardware components used in surgical procedures, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended uses listed (Large Loop Excision, Extrenal Anogenital Lesions, Cervical Conizations, Large Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplastic Lesions) describe procedures performed on the patient's body for diagnosis and treatment, not the analysis of samples taken from the body.
  • The device description is for surgical tools. Diathermy loops and coagulation balls are instruments used in surgical procedures to cut and coagulate tissue. This is a therapeutic and diagnostic procedure performed directly on the patient.
  • There is no mention of analyzing biological samples. The description focuses on the physical interaction with tissue.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical or therapeutic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
