No
The summary describes a standard electrosurgical pencil and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is an electrosurgical accessory used to remove tissue and control bleeding, which are surgical functions, not therapeutic ones in the sense of treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as an "Electrosurgical accessory" intended to "remove tissue and control bleeding." Its function is therapeutic (surgical), not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Disposable Hand Switching Pencil," which is a physical hardware component used in electrosurgery.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

The description clearly indicates a device used in vivo (within the living body) for surgical purposes, not for testing samples in vitro (in a lab setting).
