Intended Use
The Nurse's Assistant® is a programmable controller operated through a touch screen GUI that offers professional O.R. staff a simplified remote user interface and a real time display of settings for the devices attached to the system thereby eliminating the necessity for using the various control panels on diverse surgical equipment. The Nurse's Assistant® is intended to be used to turn on and off, and adjust certain settings of, endoscopic and surgical cameras, electrosurgical generators such as the ConMed System 5000 ESU, laparoscopic insufflators such as the Linvatec GS1002 Insufflator, surgical lamps, operating room ("O.R.") lights, and operate digital documentation products, VCR's, video monitors, video printers, radios and CD players. The Nurse's Assistant® is indicated for use in general, cardiovascular, ENT, gastroenterology, urology, plastic, obstetrics, gynecology, and orthopedic surgery, and general thorascoscopy, general cardiothoracic surgery, general laparoscopy, nasopharyngoscopy, ear endoscopy, and sinuscopy. A few examples of the more common surgical procedures where this system could be used are laparoscopic cholecystectorny, laparoscopic hernia repair, laparoscopic appendectorny, laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection, laparoscopically assisted hysterectorny, laparoscopic and thorascopic anteriorspinal fusion, decompression fixation, wedge resection, lung biopsy, pleural biopsy, dorsal sympathectomy, pleurodesis, internal mammary artery dissection for coronary artery bypass, coronary artery bypass grafting where endoscopic visualization is indicated, examination of the evacuated cardiac chamber during performance of valve replacement, arthroscopic meniscus repair, anterior cruciate ligament repair and associated procedures.

More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the device being a programmable controller with a touch screen GUI for remote control and display of settings, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is a programmable controller for operating room equipment, not a device that directly treats a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a programmable controller that simplifies the remote user interface and displays real-time settings for various surgical equipment. Its function is to control and adjust settings of other medical devices, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "programmable controller operated through a touch screen GUI," implying the presence of hardware (the controller and touch screen) in addition to the software.

Based on the provided text, the Nurse's Assistant® is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Nurse's Assistant® Function: The description clearly states that the Nurse's Assistant® is a programmable controller used to remotely operate and display settings for various surgical and O.R. equipment. It interacts with devices used during surgery, not with patient specimens outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to simplify the control of surgical equipment for O.R. staff during surgical procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests, or any other activity typically associated with IVD devices.

Therefore, the Nurse's Assistant® falls under the category of surgical equipment control systems, not In Vitro Diagnostics.
