Device Description
The Stainless Steel Introducer Needle/Cannula with Guide Base is a single use disposable introducer needle/cannula intended for the precise placement of guide or needle wires, e.g., hook wires or EMG monopolar needles, in non-vascular laparoscopic procedures. The Introducer Needle/Cannula provides a temporary percutaneous guide to facilitate the placement of guide or needle wires, e.g., hook wires or EMG monopolar needles, into the abdominal cavity for surgical procedures and specifically for use during EMG monitoring. The Introducer Needle/Cannula with Guide Base has three main components: a Concentric Guide Tube, an Introducer Needle with Ring Hub and an Introducer Needle Guide Base.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on a mechanical introducer needle/cannula and do not mention any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is described as an introducer needle/cannula for precise placement of guide or needle wires, not for treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is used to facilitate the placement of wires, such as hook wires or EMG monopolar needles, for surgical procedures and EMG monitoring. It provides a temporary guide. However, it does not directly diagnose a condition or disease; it is a tool for other diagnostic or surgical instruments.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of stainless steel (needle, cannula, guide base), indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices 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 description clearly states the device is an introducer needle/cannula used for the placement of guide or needle wires within the body during laparoscopic procedures. It's a surgical tool used for access and guidance, not for testing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "precise placement of guide or needle wires... in non-vascular laparoscopic procedures." This is a procedural function, not a diagnostic one based on analyzing biological samples.

The device is a surgical instrument used in vivo (within the living body) for a procedural purpose.

| Device Description: | The Stainless Steel Introducer Needle/Cannula with Guide Base is a single
use disposable introducer needle/cannula intended for the precise
placement of guide or needle wires, e.g., hook wires or EMG monopolar
needles, in non-vascular laparoscopic procedures. The Introducer
Needle/Cannula provides a temporary percutaneous guide to facilitate the
placement of guide or needle wires, e.g., hook wires or EMG monopolar
needles, into the abdominal cavity for surgical procedures and specifically
for use during EMG monitoring. The Introducer Needle/Cannula with
Guide Base has three main components: a Concentric Guide Tube, an
Introducer Needle with Ring Hub and an Introducer Needle Guide Base. |
| Concentric Guide Tube: | The Concentric Guide Tube is permanently attached at the top of the
Introducer Needle Guide Base and extends into the Introducer Needle. As
the Introducer Needle is deployed this tube effectively telescopes out of
the Introducer Needle and maintains a continuous concentric pathway
from the integrated funnel at the top of the Concentric Guide Tube
through the base and through the Introducer Needle. |
| Introducer Needle with Ring Hub: | The Introducer Needle with Ring Hub is made up of two parts: an
advancement ring hub and a permanently attached stainless steel cannula
needle which meets the recognized consensus standard ISO 9626 First
edition. There is an alignment hole in the center of the Ring Hub that
mates with the inner diameter of the Introducer Needle. The Guide Tube
extends through this alignment hole into the Introducer Needle
throughout the insertion and withdrawal procedure. |
| Introducer Needle Guide Base: | The Introducer Needle Guide Base is a molded cylindrical tube with a
contoured face perpendicular to the tube. The contoured face has a
biocompatible adhesive IAW ISO10993-1 and is used to stabilize the base
when the device is placed on the patient. The cylindrical tube acts as a
guide along which the Ring Hub slides during Introducer Needle Insertion
and withdrawal. |
| Intended Use: | A single use disposable introducer needle/cannula intended for
precise placement of guide or needle wires, e.g., hook wires or EMG
monopolar needles, in non-vascular laparoscopic procedures. |
