No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and function of a mechanical dilator, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is described as dilating or calibrating blood vessels, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device description indicates its use is "to dilate or calibrate the lumen of a blood vessel," which describes a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical medical device made of stainless steel tubes and tips, intended for mechanical dilation of blood vessels. It does not mention any software component.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "dilate or calibrate blood vessels." This is a direct intervention on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical tool used to manipulate blood vessels. It doesn't describe a reagent, kit, or instrument used to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical/interventional tool.
