More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the adapter's function as a simple electrical connector and do not mention any AI/ML capabilities.

No.
The device is an accessory (adapter) for an electrosurgical generator and is not directly used for cutting or coagulating procedures.

No

The device is an accessory to an electrosurgical generator, intended for cutting or coagulating procedures, and does not perform any diagnostic function. Its purpose is to allow a foot-controlled pencil or suction/coagulator to be used with the generator.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "non-sterile, reusable device" with an "insert-molded body" and a "foot control adapter plug," indicating it is a physical 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 for "cutting or coagulating procedures" using an electrosurgical generator. This is a surgical procedure performed on a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an "accessory to the Aaron 1200 electrosurgical generator" and facilitates the use of foot-controlled pencils or suction/coagulation tubes. This further reinforces its role in surgical procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.
