The summary describes a simple electrical stimulation device with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data-driven analysis.
No.
The device is used for electrical stimulation to locate and identify nerves and test nerve and muscle excitability, not to treat a condition. While it delivers electrical stimulation, its purpose is diagnostic/monitoring, not therapeutic.
Yes.
The device is used to locate and identify nerves and to test nerve and muscle excitability, which are diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "small handheld device" and a "sterile disposable device," indicating it is a physical hardware product that delivers electrical stimulation.
Based on the provided information, the Checkpoint™ device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to provide electrical stimulation of exposed motor nerves or muscle tissue intraoperatively to locate and identify nerves and test nerve and muscle excitability. This is a direct interaction with living tissue within the body during surgery.
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, outside of the body (in vitro) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a handheld device used by a surgeon to deliver electrical stimulation intraoperatively.
The Checkpoint™ is a surgical device used for nerve and muscle stimulation during surgery, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
