Intended Use
The Portex Reinforced Tracheal Tubes (cuffed and uncuffed) are designed for oral or nasal intubation for airway management during anaesthesia. The product may be used where the patient's neck is likely to be moved or flexed or the patient is in the prone position so that a non-reinforced tracheal tube might become kinked.
Device Description
Single use. A Tracheal tube with additional metal wire spiral reinforcement to provide kink-resistance. This type of product is typically used during operations where a high degree of flexibility is required from the tube, for instance prone position, head and neck surgery, oral surgery. The plastic material and the spring allow the tube to be easily bent in all directions. The steel reinforcement maintains the patency of the lumen. The Portex Ltd PVC, Single-use Reinforced tracheal tube is available in cuffed and uncuffed variants. The cuff is intended to provide a seal against the trachea, ensuring that inspiratory and expiratory gases are directed through the tube and not allowed to escape to the patients upper airway, thus preventing loss of ventilation / anaesthetic and nebulised drugs, and reducing the likelihood of any aspirated stomach contents from entering the lungs. Uncuffed tubes are used mainly for paediatric applications who require less protection from loss of ventilation / anaesthetic and nebulised drugs and or stomach aspiration. The reinforced tracheal tube (Cuffed Murphy eye) is available in sizes 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0 and 9.5mm only. The reinforced tracheal tube (Uncuffed) is available in sizes 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0mm only.

No
The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of a reinforced tracheal tube, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
This device is designed for "airway management during anaesthesia" and is used to maintain the patency of the lumen, ensure inspiratory and expiratory gases are directed through the tube, and prevent aspiration. These functions are supportive and facilitative for medical procedures, rather than directly treating a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a tracheal tube used for airway management during anesthesia, not for diagnosing a condition or disease. Its function is to facilitate ventilation and prevent aspiration, which are therapeutic and management functions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical tracheal tube with metal wire reinforcement, 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:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Portex Reinforced Tracheal Tube is a device inserted into the trachea to manage the airway during medical procedures. It is a physical device used in vivo (within the body) to facilitate breathing and deliver gases.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: The description focuses on the physical properties and function of the tube for airway management. There is no mention of testing samples, analyzing biological markers, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the Portex Reinforced Tracheal Tube falls under the category of a medical device used for therapeutic or supportive purposes, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
