No
The provided text does not contain any keywords or descriptions related to AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is indicated for "coagulation of tissue," which is a therapeutic action aimed at stopping bleeding or removing unwanted tissue.

No
Explanation: The device is indicated for "coagulation of tissue," which is a treatment or surgical procedure, not a diagnostic one. Diagnostic devices are used to identify or detect a disease or condition.

No

The intended use describes a device for "coagulation of tissue," which is a physical process typically performed by hardware (like an electrosurgical unit). The summary lacks any description of software functionality or how software would achieve this intended use.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "coagulation of tissue," which is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on a patient's body. IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points away from diagnostic testing of samples.
  • Input Imaging Modality: "Not Found" further supports that it's not an imaging-based diagnostic device.
  • Anatomical Site: "Not Found" is not definitive, but the intended use of tissue coagulation implies a direct interaction with the body.
  • Intended User: "qualified medical personnel trained in the use of electrosurgery" aligns with a surgical or procedural device, not typically an IVD which might be used in a laboratory setting.

The information provided strongly indicates a device used for a medical procedure (electrosurgery for tissue coagulation) rather than for diagnostic testing of samples.

Dear Dr. Wehman:

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.
