No
The device, a "Ti Clip Applier," is indicated for "ligation of the vas deferens," which is a treatment procedure rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly identifies it as a "Ti Clip Applier," which is a physical instrument used for applying clips. This indicates a hardware component, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "ligation of the vas deferens." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "Ti Clip Applier," which is a surgical instrument used to apply clips.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: 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 provided information does not mention any such use or interaction with specimens.

Therefore, the Ti Clip Applier is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
