Device Description
The Wilson-Cook Modified Multiple Band Ligator is used to ligate internal hemorrhoids. This device is supplied non-sterile and intended for single use only. The modification of the predicate Wilson-Cook Multiple Band Ligator (K944220/A) consists of a change to the handle in order to accommodate single-hand operation through an anoscope. In addition, the modified device comes preloaded with the barrel attached to the tip of the handle. The predicate device is designed for attachment to the end of an endoscope, while the modified Multiple Band Ligator is used in conjunction with an anoscope. The barrel and bands of the modified device are identical to the barrel and bands of the Wilson-Cook Multiple Band Ligator in the choice of the production and the specifications of each. The trigger cord is comprised of the same materials, however the trigger cord is slightly shorter in length for the modified devices, as the modified device comes preloaded and is used with an anoscope. Loading catheter and irrigation adapter are not needed.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical modifications for single-hand operation and use with an anoscope, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used to ligate internal hemorrhoids, which is a therapeutic intervention, meaning it treats a condition.

No
The device is described as being used to "ligate internal hemorrhoids," which is a treatment procedure, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like a handle, barrel, bands, and trigger cord, indicating it is a hardware device used for a physical procedure (ligation). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is used to "ligate internal hemorrhoids." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Information: The device's purpose is to treat a condition (hemorrhoids) by physically ligating them. It does not provide any diagnostic information about the patient's health status.

The description focuses on the mechanical function of the device and its use in a surgical setting, which is characteristic of a non-IVD medical device.
