The summary provides no information suggesting the use of AI or ML. The device description and intended use point towards a physical surgical tool.
Yes
The device is used to protect delicate tissue from trauma during surgery, which is a therapeutic function.
No
The description states the device is "Used during surgery to protect delicate tissue from trauma, absorb fluid and act as a filter to aspirate." This describes a therapeutic or protective function, not a diagnostic one (identifying a disease or condition).
No
The provided 510(k) summary describes a device used during surgery to protect tissue, absorb fluid, and act as a filter. This functionality strongly suggests a physical device (e.g., a surgical sponge or filter) rather than a software-only application. The lack of any mention of software, algorithms, or data processing further supports this conclusion.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "Used during surgery to protect delicate tissue from trauma, absorb fluid and act as a filter to aspirate." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) during a surgical procedure.
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
The function of this device is entirely focused on physical actions within the surgical field, not on analyzing biological samples outside the body.
