Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and clinical performance of a standard tracheal tube, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats or heals a condition. This device is used for airway management, acting as a conduit to maintain an open airway, rather than directly treating a disease or condition. While preventing trauma, its primary function is not therapeutic.

No
The device is described as a tracheal tube for airway management, used for intubation. Its function is to facilitate breathing and minimize trauma during intubation, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, sterile, single-use tracheal tube made of polyvinyl chloride with a barium sulfate stripe, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states this is a tracheal tube designed for airway management through intubation. It is a physical device used to facilitate breathing, not to analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for airway management, which is a direct intervention on the patient's respiratory system, not a diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the tube (material, shape, features) and its use in a clinical setting (anesthesia, emergent and respiratory care).
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, performing tests, or providing diagnostic information based on biological markers.

This device is a medical device used for a therapeutic or supportive purpose (airway management), not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
