No
The summary describes a physical needle for administering anesthetic agents and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or software components typically associated with AI/ML medical devices.

No.
Explanation: The device is used for the administration of anesthetic agents, which is a diagnostic/interventional procedure, not a therapeutic one. Therapeutic devices are typically used for treating diseases or conditions directly.

No
The Avid-NIT Lutz Needle is used for the administration of anesthetic agents, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The intended use describes a physical needle, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The Avid-NIT Lutz Needle is used for a percutaneous puncture (going through the skin) directly into the body (the epidural space) for the administration of anesthetic agents. This is an in vivo procedure (performed within the living body).

The intended use clearly describes a procedure performed directly on a patient, not the analysis of a sample outside the body.
