Intended Use
The Quantix OR + Vessel Stabilizer device is intended for intraoperative examinations of blood flow measurements.
Device Description
The Quantix OR + Vessel Stabilizer accessory is a dual-beam, angle-independent, pulsewave Doppler ultrasound system used for intraoperative blood flow volume. In addition to the conventional Doppler (blood flow velocity) measurements, the Quantix OR + Vessel Stabilizer technology utilizes special applications of ultrasound Doppler methods to obtain real-time measurements according to the definition of blood flow volume to target blood vessels. By definition, blood flow is the product of velocity and cross-sectional area. In other words, the volume blood flow is calculated by deriving flow velocity from the Doppler shift frequency using the basic standard formula and then multiplying the velocity by the cross-section area of the blood vessel.
More Information

No
The description focuses on standard Doppler ultrasound principles and calculations (velocity * area) without mentioning any AI/ML techniques for image processing, data analysis, or decision support.

No
Explanation: The device is intended for intraoperative examinations of blood flow measurements, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one. It measures blood flow but does not treat or alleviate any condition.

Yes
The device is described as being intended for "intraoperative examinations of blood flow measurements," which is a diagnostic purpose to assess a physiological condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "dual-beam, angle-independent, pulsewave Doppler ultrasound system," which describes hardware components necessary for generating and receiving ultrasound signals.

Based on the provided information, the Quantix OR + Vessel Stabilizer device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "intraoperative examinations of blood flow measurements." This involves directly examining blood flow within the body during surgery.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "dual-beam, angle-independent, pulsewave Doppler ultrasound system used for intraoperative blood flow volume." It uses ultrasound to measure blood flow in vivo.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health.

The Quantix OR + Vessel Stabilizer device operates in vivo (within the living body) to measure blood flow directly, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic.
