No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and their physical manipulation for placement, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device is intended for intraoperative cholangiography, which is a diagnostic procedure to image the bile ducts, not to treat a condition.

No.
The device is used to facilitate intraoperative cholangiography, which is a procedure to visualize the bile ducts. While the cholangiography itself is a diagnostic imaging procedure, the device, a catheter, is a tool for delivering contrast or guiding other tools, not for diagnosing on its own.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like catheters, a guide handle, and introduction tubing, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

No, 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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Rüsch Guided Cholangiography Catheter is a surgical instrument used during a surgical procedure (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) to facilitate the injection of contrast material into the bile ducts for imaging (cholangiography). It is a tool used in vivo (within the living body) to aid in visualization, not a test performed on a sample in vitro (outside the living body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "intraoperative cholangiography during laparoscopic cholecystectomy," which is a surgical procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of a catheter system designed for insertion into the body.

The device is a surgical tool used to enable a diagnostic imaging procedure (cholangiography), but it is not an IVD itself.
