The summary describes electrosurgical electrodes and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.
Yes
The device is intended for "coagulation of tissue," which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is described as an electrode for the coagulation of tissue, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly lists multiple hardware components (Tubular Electrodes with needles) and their variations, indicating it is a physical medical 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 "coagulation of tissue." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on a patient's body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is described as "Tubular Electrode" with needles, designed for electrosurgery. This is a surgical tool used for tissue manipulation.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical or therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
