More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical device for tissue removal and makes no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for "aspiration of disc material during percutaneous discectomies," which is a medical procedure to treat a condition, thus making it a therapeutic device.

No
The document describes a device used for aspiration of disc material during surgical procedures (percutaneous discectomies), not for diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "single use disposable discectomy probe" and works in conjunction with an "introducer cannula," indicating it is a physical, hardware-based medical device.

Based on the provided information, the Dekompressor™ Percutaneous Discectomy Probe is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "aspiration of disc material during percutaneous discectomies in the lumbar, thoracic and cervical regions of the spine." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "single use disposable discectomy probe that passes through and works in conjunction with an introducer cannula to remove intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus." This further reinforces its use in a surgical context.
  • Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical sites are "lumbar, thoracic and cervical regions of the spine," which are parts of the human body.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. The Dekompressor™ is used within the body during a surgical procedure.
