No
The provided text describes a mechanical device (I.V. catheter) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No
Explanation: The device is an I.V. catheter, which is used for vascular access, and while it's a medical device, its primary function as described (access to the vascular system; aids in prevention of needlestick injuries) is not to treat or alleviate a disease or condition, which is the definition of a therapeutic device. It's a tool for delivering therapies rather than being a therapy itself.

No
Explanation: The device is an I.V. Catheter intended for vascular access to "provide safe and reliable access to the vascular system for short term use". It is not used for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical medical device (I.V. Catheter) and do not mention any software component.

Based on the provided information, the VanishPoint® I.V. Catheter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for providing access to the vascular system for short-term use. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or diagnostic access, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any testing of biological samples, analysis of substances, or providing information about a patient's health status based on in vitro analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The VanishPoint® I.V. Catheter is a device used on the patient for direct access to their circulatory system.
