Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly define the device as a simple electrical cable for transmitting power, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is a cable that transmits electrical power to a surgical instrument, not a device that directly treats a condition or disease.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an electrosurgical cable for transmitting electrical power from a generator to a surgical instrument, indicating its use in therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "line of non-sterile, reusable bipolar foot activated cables," which are physical hardware components used to transmit electrical power.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "electrosurgical procedures to provide transmission of electrical power...to a bipolar foot-activated instrument." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure on a patient, not a device used to examine specimens outside of the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its use in electrosurgery by mentioning it fits various electrosurgical units.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, urine, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions, or providing information about a patient's health status based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the Bissinger bipolar cable/cord is a surgical accessory used in electrosurgical procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
