The 510(k) summary describes a simple electrosurgical accessory electrode and makes no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies.
No
The device is an accessory electrode used in electrosurgical procedures for dissection and coagulation of tissue, making it a surgical tool rather than a therapeutic device that directly treats a condition.
No
The device is described as an electrosurgical electrode for dissection and coagulation of tissue, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly states it is an "Accessory Electrode" and "electrode blade," which are physical hardware components used in electrosurgical procedures. 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 the device is for "monopolar electrosurgical procedures for the dissection and coagulation of tissue." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
- Device Description: The description reinforces the use in surgical procedures by mentioning fitting electrosurgical pencils and chuck handles and being used for tissue dissection and coagulation.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health status, which is the core function of an IVD.
Therefore, the CONMED Stealth® Non-Stick Accessory Electrode is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
CONMED Stealth® Non-Stick Accessory Electrode is designed to fit all CONMED and most other electrosurgical pencils and chuck handles and intended for use in monopolar electrosurgical procedures for the dissection and coagulation of tissue. The electrode blade is to be a direct alternative to other electrode blades in a variety of tip configurations for differing circumstances encountered during surgical procedures.

Dear Mr. Duesler:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device we nave loviewed your bothermined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 Drug, and 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 requirement, 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.
