No
The summary describes a mechanical surgical stapler and staples with a coating. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is used for fixation of prosthetic material and approximation of tissue, which is a surgical tool function, not a therapeutic action like healing or pain relief.

No
The provided text describes a surgical fixation system intended for tissue approximation and fixation of prosthetic material during surgical procedures. It is an instrument used for treatment or repair, not for identifying or determining the nature of a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "reusable surgical instrument with integral disposable cartridge for placing coated stainless steel constructs," indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "fixation of prosthetic material and approximation of tissue" in surgical procedures. This is a therapeutic/surgical function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument and staples used for physical fixation. This aligns with a surgical device, not a device used to examine specimens from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is purely mechanical and surgical.
