More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a laser and associated disposables for a surgical procedure and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as a surgical laser intended for endovascular coagulation, which is a medical procedure used to treat a condition (superficial vein reflux). This falls under the definition of a therapeutic device as it is used to treat or alleviate a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as a surgical laser intended for endovascular coagulation, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "semiconductor diode lasers operating at 810 ± 20 microns and associated disposables," indicating it includes hardware components (lasers and disposables).

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "endovascular coagulation of the greater saphenous vein of the thigh in patients with superficial vein reflux." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "semiconductor diode laser" and "associated disposables." This is a surgical tool used for treatment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This description does not mention any such use or interaction with patient specimens.

Therefore, the Diomed 810 nm Surgical Lasers and EVLT Procedure Kit is a surgical device, not an IVD.
