No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description is consistent with a standard electrosurgical unit.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "used for the controlled destruction of human tissue in surgical procedures to provide a therapeutic benefit."

No
Explanation: The device is described as an electrosurgical unit used for the "controlled destruction of human tissue in surgical procedures to provide a therapeutic benefit," which indicates a therapeutic purpose rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states "System 7500 Electrosurgical Unit," which is a hardware device used for surgical procedures. The summary does not mention any software-only components or functions.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is the "controlled destruction of human tissue in surgical procedures to provide a therapeutic benefit." This describes a device used on the patient's body during a surgical procedure for treatment, not a device used to test samples from the body in a lab setting.
  • Device Description: "Electrosurgical Unit" is a type of device used in surgery for cutting and coagulating tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Use in a laboratory setting

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical device used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
