No
The device description and intended use are purely focused on the electrical connection function of the cables, with no mention of data processing, analysis, or any AI/ML related terms. The performance studies also focus on electrical safety standards.

No
Explanation: The device is described as cables used to connect HF instruments to HF devices, directing a high frequency electrical current. It does not exert any direct therapeutic effect on a patient.

No.
The device is described as a cable used to connect high-frequency instruments and devices, directing electrical current. It does not perform any diagnostic function itself, such as detecting, identifying, or analyzing diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a cable used to direct electrical current, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to connect surgical instruments to HF devices for directing electrical current. This is a function performed in vivo (within the body) during surgical procedures, not in vitro (outside the body) for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the use of the cables to direct electrical current to an instrument, which is consistent with surgical applications.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information. The focus is purely on the electrical connection for surgical intervention.

Therefore, the Uni/Monopolar High Frequency Cables are considered a surgical accessory, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Casarsa:

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 (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.
