Intended Use
The Stellartech Radiofrequency Generator is indicated for use in general surgical procedures to coagulate soft tissues. The Stellartech Radiofrequency Generator may also be used to coagulate blood and soft tissues to produce hemostasis. The Stellartech Radio Frequency Generator (Model 1025A-115 and Model 1025A-230) is indicated for use in general surgical procedures to cut and coagulate soft tissue.
Device Description
The Stellartech Radiofrequency Generator is capable of supplying up to 25 watts of radiofrequency energy in unipolar mode to an electrode or electrodes in contact with tissue while continuously monitoring and displaying actual power delivered, tissue impedance, and time of power duration. User controls are provided for setting desired power and maximum time of power duration. Safety features include overvoltage, overcurrent, and overpower shutdowns. Each generator is tested for leakage current, dielectric withstand, and control of power delivery prior to quality control release.

No
The document describes a standard radiofrequency generator with controls for power, time, and safety features. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets for training or testing, which are typical indicators of AI/ML integration in medical devices.

No
The device is used for surgical procedures like cutting and coagulating tissues, not for treating a disease or condition in a therapeutic manner.

No
The device is described as a radiofrequency generator used for general surgical procedures to coagulate and cut soft tissues, and to produce hemostasis. Its function is to deliver energy for treatment, not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Radiofrequency Generator" and details hardware components and electrical testing, indicating it is a physical device, not software only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Stellartech Radiofrequency Generator is used in general surgical procedures to cut and coagulate soft tissues and coagulate blood and soft tissues to produce hemostasis. This is a direct intervention on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the delivery of radiofrequency energy to tissue, not on analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Stellartech Radiofrequency Generator is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
