Intended Use
The U-CLIP™ Device is intended for endoscopic and non-endoscopic general soft tissue and prosthetic material approximation/attachment and/or ligation and the creation of anastomosis in blood vessels, grafts and other tubular structures; including use in cardiovascular and coronary artery bypass grafting procedures.
Device Description
The U-CLIP™ device is a self-closing clip for anastomosis and tissue and prosthetic material approximation or attachment applications. The device is a self-closing Nitinol clip that is constrained in an open position in a stainless steel hypotube until released by the surgeon after placement. This design allows precise placement of clips prior to closure, and facilitates the device is manufactured with a standard implantable grade of Nitinol.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and function of a Nitinol clip and does not mention any AI/ML components or capabilities.

No
The device is described as a surgical tool for tissue approximation and ligation, not for treating or curing a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as a self-closing clip for tissue approximation, attachment, and ligation, and for creating anastomoses. Its intended uses involve surgical procedures rather than diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a physical clip made of Nitinol and stainless steel, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the U-CLIP™ Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used within the body for surgical procedures (tissue approximation, ligation, anastomosis). IVDs are used to examine specimens outside the body (in vitro) to provide information about a patient's health.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical clip designed for surgical implantation and manipulation, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites listed are all internal body structures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the U-CLIP™ Device is a surgical implant/instrument, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

The U-CLIP™ device is a self-closing clip for anastomosis and tissue and prosthetic material approximation or attachment applications. The U-CLIP™ is a self-closing Nitinol clip that is constrained in an open position in a stainless steel hypotube until released by the surgeon after being re-registered from a slot in the side of the hypotube. This design allows precise placement of clips prior to closure, and facilitates the "running" and interrupted "suture" technique. The device is manufactured with a standard implantable grade of Nitinol.
