No
The summary describes a simple electrosurgery accessory (a cable) and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as an "Electrosurgery accessory" and a "Patient return electrode conductor cable." It does not directly provide therapy but is an accessory for an electrosurgery unit, which performs therapeutic functions.

No
The device is described as an "Electrosurgery accessory" and a "Patient return electrode conductor cable," which are components used in surgical procedures and do not perform diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states "Return Electrode Clamp Shell Cord," which is a physical hardware component. The intended use also describes a "conductor cable," further confirming it is a hardware accessory.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's an "Electrosurgery accessory" and a "Patient return electrode conductor cable." This indicates it's used during a surgical procedure on a patient, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description "Return Electrode Clamp Shell Cord" further supports its role as a physical connection during electrosurgery.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), diagnostic testing, or providing information about a patient's health status based on laboratory analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is purely as an electrical conductor during a surgical procedure.

Dear Mr. Ward:

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 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 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 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.
