No
The summary describes a hardware-based infusion system with an ultrasound transducer and thermal sensor, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms.
Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for controlled and selective infusion of physician-specified fluids, including thrombolytics, into the peripheral vasculature, which suggests a therapeutic purpose (e.g., dissolving blood clots).
No
The device is described as an "Infusion System" intended for the controlled delivery of fluids, including thrombolytics and contrast materials, into the vasculature. Its function is therapeutic (infusion), not diagnostic (identifying or characterizing a disease or condition).
No
The device description explicitly states the system consists of a disposable infusion/ultrasound catheter and an instrument that generates and controls energy, indicating it includes hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the controlled and selective infusion of fluids (including thrombolytics and contrast materials) directly into the peripheral and neurovasculature. This is a therapeutic and diagnostic procedure performed in vivo (within the body).
- Device Description: The description details a catheter and an instrument for delivering energy and fluids into the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside the body, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is used for direct intervention and delivery of substances within the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The EKOS Micro-Infusion System is intended for the controlled and selective infusion of physician-specified fluids, including thrombolytics, into the peripheral vasculature. The EKOS Micro- Infusion System is intended for regional infusion of contrast materials into selected vessels in the neurovasculature. The EKOS Micro- Infusion System may be used for controlled, regional infusion into selected vessels and is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
