Device Description
The PROXIMATE HCS Hemorrhoidal Circular Stapler and Accessories are a set of instruments that facilitate delivery of a circumferential, staggered, double-row of staples while simultaneously resecting a segment of compressed soft tissue. The set is commonly used in the Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids (PPH). The set is also used for other applications where circular or semicircular stapling of anorectal tissue is desired.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical surgical stapler and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is used for the surgical treatment of anorectal wall defects and hemorrhoidal disease, which are medical conditions, and aims to restore normal function or alleviate symptoms, fitting the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a surgical stapler used for resecting tissue, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "set of instruments" that "facilitate delivery of a circumferential, staggered, double-row of staples while simultaneously resecting a segment of compressed soft tissue," indicating it is a physical, hardware-based surgical stapler and accessories, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a surgical procedure involving the stapling and resection of tissue. This is a direct intervention on the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device description details a surgical instrument used for stapling and resecting tissue. It does not describe a device used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device is a surgical tool used for treatment.
