More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical function and does not mention any AI/ML components or capabilities.

Yes

The device is intended for hemostasis, a medical procedure used to stop bleeding, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is intended for therapeutic interventions such as hemostasis, marking within the GI tract, and anchoring, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a control handle, insertion tube, jaws, and clips, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is an "Endoscopic Multi-fire Clip Applier" used with an endoscope to place clips directly within the gastrointestinal tract for purposes like marking, hemostasis, and anchoring.
  • No Sample Analysis: The device does not involve the collection or analysis of samples taken from the body. It is a tool used inside the body during an endoscopic procedure.

Therefore, the device's function and intended use fall outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.
