No
The summary describes a surgical electrode for coagulation and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is indicated for surgical procedures involving coagulation to control small bleeding vessels, which is a treatment and not a therapeutic function.

No
The device is used for surgical procedures to control bleeding, which is a treatment or intervention, not a diagnostic purpose.

No

The intended use describes a physical electrode insert for surgical procedures, which is a hardware 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 "laparoscopic surgical procedures where controlling small bleeding vessels with coagulation would be advantageous." This describes a surgical tool used in vivo (within the body) during a procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body).
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
    • Using reagents or assays.

The description points to a surgical instrument used for coagulation during a laparoscopic procedure, which falls under the category of a surgical device, not an IVD.

Dear Mr. Lewis:

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 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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (OS) 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.
