No
The summary describes a basic electrosurgical device for tissue coagulation and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for coagulation of tissue, which is a therapeutic action.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states "Indicated for coagulation of tissue," which is a treatment or surgical action, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states "Electrosurgical Basket Electrodes," which are physical hardware components used in electrosurgery. The summary does not mention any software component as the primary or sole function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "coagulation of tissue." This is a therapeutic action performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "Electrosurgical Basket Electrodes," which are tools used in surgical procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose or monitor conditions. This device is used to treat tissue directly.

Dear Dr. Wehman:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the devices are substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 these devices, 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 devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices 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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) 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 devices 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.

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