The summary describes a laser procedure kit with a fiber and accessories for endovascular access, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.
Yes
The device is indicated for the "treatment of varicose veins and varicosities," which squarely places it in the category of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is indicated for "treatment of varicose veins and varicosities," which describes a therapeutic purpose rather than a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly lists physical components like a fiber, guide wire, introducer sheath, and needle, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device kit.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of varicose veins and varicosities associated with superficial reflux of the Greater Saphenous Vein. This is a therapeutic procedure performed in vivo (within the body).
- Device Description: The device components (fiber, guide wire, introducer sheath, needle) are all used for accessing and treating the vein directly within the patient's body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is used to perform a therapeutic procedure directly on the patient.
