No
The device description and intended use describe a purely mechanical instrument used to hold and secure other devices. There is no mention of any computational or algorithmic processing, let alone AI/ML.

No.
The device is used to seize and hold the cervix and to hold and secure a clamp during surgical procedures, and is explicitly described as an accessory. It does not exert its effect through pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic means, nor does it achieve its primary intended purposes through chemical action within or on the body. Instead, it is a mechanical instrument used to facilitate a surgical procedure.

No

The device is an accessory used to seize and hold the cervix and secure a clamp during audible Doppler procedures. It is a surgical instrument for manipulation and temporary control, not for the purpose of identifying a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, ring-handled instrument with a tooth and guiderod, indicating it is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Burbank Tenaculum's Function: The description clearly states the Burbank Tenaculum is an accessory used in conjunction with a clamp and Doppler probe. Its function is to physically seize and hold the cervix, guide and secure a clamp, and potentially measure uterine depth with a uterine sound.
  • No Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples taken from the patient. It is a surgical instrument used for manipulation and positioning during a procedure.
  • Procedure-Based Use: Its use is directly tied to an audible Doppler procedure and conservative gynecologic surgery.

Therefore, the Burbank Tenaculum falls under the category of a surgical instrument or accessory, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 884.4530 Obstetric-gynecologic specialized manual instrument.

(a)
Identification. An obstetric-gynecologic specialized manual instrument is one of a group of devices used during obstetric-gynecologic procedures to perform manipulative diagnostic and surgical functions (e.g., dilating, grasping, measuring, and scraping), where structural integrity is the chief criterion of device performance. This type of device consists of the following:(1) An amniotome is an instrument used to rupture the fetal membranes.
(2) A circumcision clamp is an instrument used to compress the foreskin of the penis during circumcision of a male infant.
(3) An umbilical clamp is an instrument used to compress the umbilical cord.
(4) A uterine curette is an instrument used to scrape and remove material from the uterus.
(5) A fixed-size cervical dilator is any of a series of bougies of various sizes used to dilate the cervical os by stretching the cervix.
(6) A uterine elevator is an instrument inserted into the uterus used to lift and manipulate the uterus.
(7) A gynecological surgical forceps is an instrument with two blades and handles used to pull, grasp, or compress during gynecological examination.
(8) A cervical cone knife is a cutting instrument used to excise and remove tissue from the cervix.
(9) A gynecological cerclage needle is a looplike instrument used to suture the cervix.
(10) A hook-type contraceptive intrauterine device (IUD) remover is an instrument used to remove an IUD from the uterus.
(11) A gynecological fibroid screw is an instrument used to hold onto a fibroid.
(12) A uterine sound is an instrument used to determine the depth of the uterus by inserting it into the uterine cavity.
(13) A cytological cervical spatula is a blunt instrument used to scrape and remove cytological material from the surface of the cervix or vagina.
(14) A gynecological biopsy forceps is an instrument with two blades and handles used for gynecological biopsy procedures.
(15) A uterine tenaculum is a hooklike instrument used to seize and hold the cervix or fundus.
(16) An internal pelvimeter is an instrument used within the vagina to measure the diameter and capacity of the pelvis.
(17) A nonmetal vaginal speculum is a nonmetal instrument used to expose the interior of the vagina.
(18) A fiberoptic nonmetal vaginal speculum is a nonmetal instrument, with fiberoptic light, used to expose and illuminate the interior of the vagina.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an umbilical clamp with or without a cutter, a uterine tenaculum which is sterile and does not use suction and is intended for single use, a nonmetal vaginal speculum, or a fiberoptic nonmetal vaginal speculum, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.(2) Class I for the amniotome, uterine curette, cervical dilator (fixed-size bougies), cerclage needle, IUD remover, uterine sound, and gynecological biopsy forceps. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 884.9.
