No
The device description and intended use describe a purely mechanical surgical instrument. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as "surgical medical device" indicating its use in medical procedures for treatment. The intended use also mentions facilitating vaginal delivery and shortening the second stage of labor, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
Explanation: The device is a surgical medical device used to grasp and apply traction to the fetal head to facilitate vaginal delivery. It does not perform any diagnostic functions like analyzing data or identifying conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a surgical medical device consisting of two movable arms manufactured from surgical stainless steel, indicating it is a physical hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body ("in vitro").
- Device Function: The Dimeda Obstetrical Forceps is a surgical instrument used directly on the patient during a medical procedure (vaginal delivery). It physically grasps and applies traction to the fetal head.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention any analysis of biological specimens. The device's function is purely mechanical and procedural.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Dimeda Obstetrical Forceps clearly falls outside the definition and function of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
