Intended Use
Portex® tracheal tubes are intended for oral and/or nasal intubation for airway management. Expert clinical judgement should be exercised in the selection of the appropriate tracheal tube size and style for an individual patient. For adult, Paediatric excluding neonatal and infant use.
Device Description
A range of sterile, single use tracheal tubes for oral and/or nasal intubation intended for airway management. Manufactured from clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) incorporating the following features: • Thermosensitive materials with sufficient initial rigidity for intubation which then conforms to the individuals respiratory tract at body temperature ensuring minimum trauma. • Radio-opaque Blue Line ® to confirm correct tube placement by X-ray • All Portex® tracheal tubes are packed with a 15mm connector conforming to ISO5356 • Sterile unless the unit pack is opened or damaged • Cuffed tracheal tubes are designed with a high volume tapered low pressure cuff and all have an attached pilot balloon with a one way luer valve • Smooth Murphy eye • As a reference during intubation, the tracheal tubes have depth marks in centimetres which indicates the distance to distal tip.

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on material properties and physical features of a tracheal tube, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device, a tracheal tube, is used for airway management, which is a therapeutic intervention to maintain or improve a patient's breathing.

No

The device is a tracheal tube used for airway management, acting as a physical conduit. While it has features that aid in confirming placement (radio-opaque line for X-ray, depth marks), its primary function is not to diagnose a condition or disease, but rather to facilitate breathing. The X-ray is used to confirm the tube's position, not to diagnose a patient's medical state.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device made of PVC with features like a radio-opaque line, cuff, pilot balloon, and depth marks. It is intended for oral and/or nasal intubation, which is a physical procedure.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "oral and/or nasal intubation for airway management." This is a direct intervention on the patient's body to manage their airway, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (tracheal tube) used for intubation. It mentions features like thermosensitive material, a radio-opaque line for X-ray confirmation, a connector, a cuff, a Murphy eye, and depth marks. These are all characteristics of a medical device used for a physical procedure.
  • No mention of testing biological samples: There is no indication that this device is used to test or analyze any biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) from the patient.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This tracheal tube does not fit that description.
