AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdparty
Intended Use
Used in conjunction with single or dual plug bipolar electrosurgical generators to endoscopically provide hemostasis throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
Device Description
The Wilson-Cook Bipolar Probe is comprised of a mono or dual plug, flush port, catheter shaft and probe. The dual or single plug is located at the proximal end of the catheter shaft and is used for connection to the appropriate bipolar generator. The flush port is also located at the proximal end of the catheter and is used as necessary for irrigation. The distal tip of the device is the probe component used for hemostasis.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and function of a bipolar electrosurgical probe for hemostasis, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used to "provide hemostasis throughout the gastrointestinal tract", which is a therapeutic function.

No
The device is described as being used for providing hemostasis, which is a therapeutic function (stopping bleeding), not a diagnostic one (identifying a condition). It connects to electrosurgical generators, further indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter shaft, probe, and plugs, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "endoscopically provide hemostasis throughout the gastrointestinal tract." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's tissue, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a probe used for direct application of energy to tissue, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function is to directly treat a condition (hemostasis) within the body.
