The summary describes a mechanical introducer sheath and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device facilitates the introduction of other medical devices but does not directly provide therapy itself.

No
Explanation: The GORE Introducer Sheath is described as a device used to facilitate the introduction of other medical devices into the vascular system, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of physical components like a sheath, sheath hub, cap, hemostasis valve, dilator tube, and dilator valve body, all made of biocompatible materials. This indicates a hardware medical device, not a software-only one.

Based on the provided information, the GORE Introducer Sheath is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate the introduction of medical devices into the vascular system (an anatomical site within the body). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description details a device designed for direct interaction with the vascular system, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

The GORE Introducer Sheath is a medical device used for interventional procedures within the body.

§ 866.5520 Immunoglobulin G (Fab fragment specific) immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An immunoglobulin G (Fab fragment specific) immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the Fab antigen-binding fragment resulting from breakdown of immunoglobulin G antibodies in urine, serum, and other body fluids. Measurement of Fab fragments of immunoglobulin G aids in the diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disorders, such as multiple myeloma (tumor of bone marrow cells), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (increased immunoglobulin production by the spleen and bone marrow cells), and lymphoma (tumor of the lymphoid tissues).(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 866.9.
