The summary describes a mechanical surgical tool for vein removal and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis typically associated with AI/ML devices.
Yes
The device is used for the treatment of varicose veins, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as a "Disposable Vein Stripper" used for the "removal of the long saphenous vein". This indicates a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical medical device (Disposable Vein Stripper) used for a surgical procedure, not a software application.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is the removal of a vein from the body for the treatment of varicose veins. This is a surgical procedure performed on the patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
- Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly describes a physical device used in a surgical context.
- 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, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis
- Using reagents or assays
IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The LeMaitre Vascular Disposable Vein Stripper is a surgical tool used to perform a physical procedure on the patient.
N/A

You may, therefore, market the device, subiect to the general controls provisions of the Act. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, and labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
