No
The summary contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development and validation.

No
The device is described as being for "CAUTERIZING AND CUTTING FOR SURGICAL PROCEDURES," which are interventional actions, not therapeutic ones in the sense of healing or treating a condition. Therapeutic devices typically administer treatment or therapy.

No
The device is described as being for "CAUTERIZING AND CUTTING FOR SURGICAL PROGEDURES," which indicates a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The provided 510(k) summary describes a device for "cauterizing and cutting for surgical procedures," which inherently involves physical interaction with tissue. This functionality requires hardware components (like an electrosurgical unit or laser) to perform the described actions, making it impossible for the device to be software-only. The lack of a "Device Description" section further prevents confirmation of any software-only aspects.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "FOR CAUTERIZING AND CUTTING FOR SURGICAL PROGEDURES". This describes a device used on a patient during a surgical procedure, not a device used to test samples from a patient in a laboratory setting.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis
    • Use in a laboratory or clinical setting for testing purposes

The description clearly points to a surgical tool used directly on a patient.

Dear Mr. Hardy:

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 legally marketed predicate 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

Page 2 - Mr. C.T. Hardy

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97).
