No
The summary describes a mechanical clip applier and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.

No
Explanation: This device is used for ligation during surgical procedures, which is a supportive surgical tool, not a therapeutic device directly treating a condition.

No
The device is a clip applier used for ligation, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It is used to occlude structures, not to identify or analyze conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical instrument (a 5 mm endoscopic multiple clip applier) containing titanium clips, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "use on tubular structures or vessels wherever a metal ligating clip is indicated." This describes a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the body) to ligate or occlude structures.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument designed for use through a trocar to apply clips within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor treatment, or screen for diseases.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples outside the body. This device is a surgical tool used inside the body.

Predicate Device

Ligamax™ 5, a 5 MM Endoscopic Multiple Clip Applier, cleared under K050344 on March 14, 2005 as Ligaclip 5 M/L

Device Description:

The Ethicon Endo-Surgery Ligamax 5 is a 5 mm endoscopic multiple clip applier. This sterile, single patient use, instrument is designed to provide a means of ligation on tubular structures or vessels through an appropriately-sized trocar. The instrument contains 15 medium-large titanium clips for occluding tissue, structures, and vessels.

Indication for Use:

The 5 mm Endoscopic Multiple Clip Applier is intended for use on tubular structures or vessels wherever a metal ligating clip is indicated.

Technological Characteristics:

The instrument configuration consists of a pistol handle portion, an actuation trigger, a rotation knob, and a shaft with an outer diameter of 5.5 mm and length of 33 xmg The shaft contains an etched line of demarcation, which aids the user's visualization when the device is adequately inserted through the trocar. At the distal end of the shaft are the jaws, which form ligating clips. The force to squeeze the trigger increases when there are no clips remaining in the device, this is known as the tactile last-clip lockout indicator.

Performance Data: Bench testing was performed to demonstrate that the device will perform as intended.
