No
The document describes a simple electrosurgical accessory (bipolar cord set) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
This device is an electrosurgical accessory used to conduct electrical current, not a therapeutic device itself.

No
The device is described as an "electrosurgical accessory" used for tissue removal and bleeding control, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "BiPolar Cord Set," which is a hardware component used to conduct electrical current. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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 "Electrosurgical accessory" used to "conduct high-frequency electrical current intended to remove tissue and control bleeding." This describes a device used on a patient during a surgical procedure, not a device used to test samples from a patient (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description of "BiPolar Cord Sets" further supports its role as an accessory for electrosurgery, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The information provided does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or assays

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical accessory, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
