No
The summary describes a physical guiding sheath and does not mention any software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is described as a "guiding sheath" for the introduction of other devices, not as a device that directly provides therapy or treatment itself.

No
The device is a guiding sheath for introducing other devices into the heart, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states "TorFlex Transseptal Guiding Sheath," which is a physical medical device used for introducing other devices into the heart. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used for the percutaneous introduction of devices into the heart chambers. This is an invasive procedure performed on the patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The description is for a "Transseptal Guiding Sheath," which is a physical tool used in a medical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVDs are devices 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 used directly on the patient.

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.
