Yes
The device is used to inject a sclerotherapy agent into varices, which is a medical treatment.

No
The device is used to inject a sclerotherapy agent, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic procedure. Direct visualization is mentioned as a method of guidance, not for diagnostic interpretation.

No

The device is a physical needle used for injection, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Varices Needle is used to inject a substance directly into varices within the esophagus and colon inside the body, using direct visualization. It is a therapeutic device used for a procedure, not for testing specimens.

The description clearly indicates a device used for a medical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body), not for in vitro testing of samples.
