No
The summary describes a physical guidewire used for catheter placement and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is a guidewire intended to facilitate catheter placement, which is an accessory to a procedure rather than a direct therapeutic intervention itself.

No
Explanation: The device is a guidewire used to facilitate catheter placement during procedures. It does not perform any diagnostic function itself, such as analyzing data or producing diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical guidewire, 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 is to "facilitate placement of a catheter during diagnostic or interventional intravascular procedures." This describes a device used within the body to aid in a medical procedure, not a device used to test samples outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical wire used for navigation within blood vessels. This is consistent with an interventional or diagnostic medical device used in vivo.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Back-Up Meier Guidewire is a medical device used for intravascular procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
