No
The description focuses on a mechanical clip applier and does not mention any computational or data-driven features.

Yes
The device is used to approximate soft tissue, close off vessels, and stop bleeding, which are all actions aimed at treating a medical condition or aiding in healing.

No
This device is described as an applier for clips used to approximate soft tissue, close off vessels, or connect tissues, which are surgical functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, disposable medical device with a plastic handle, working shaft, and titanium clips, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for use during laparoscopic procedures for approximating soft tissue, closing vessels, and connecting internal tissues. This describes a surgical tool used in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument (clip applier) and implantable clips, which are used directly on tissues within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnosis, or treatment.

IVD devices are specifically designed for testing samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic or other health-related information. This device is a surgical tool used for physical manipulation of tissues during a procedure.
