Not Found

No
The description focuses on manual surgical instruments with sharps protection and sterilization, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as a surgical instrument used to create incisions, which is an operative function, not a therapeutic one. It facilitates a procedure but does not directly treat or cure a condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a surgical instrument used to create incisions, not to diagnose a condition or disease. Its purpose is interventional during surgery.

No

The device description clearly states it is a manual ophthalmic surgical instrument, which is a physical hardware device, not software.

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).
  • ClearCut™ S Incisional Instruments Function: The description clearly states that these instruments are used during ophthalmic surgical procedures to create incisions. They are surgical tools used directly on the patient's body.

The description focuses on the surgical function of the device, its safety features, and sterilization methods, all of which are characteristic of a surgical instrument, not an IVD.
