Device Description
The PathAssist Light Fiber is a flexible instrument that can be connected to a light source to emit light from its distal end. The Light Fiber is provided sterile and is for single use only. It comes with a male tuohy borst adapter, which allows the device to be secured within compatible working lumen instruments. The Light Fiber is also compatible with standard light post adapters and light cables.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and functionality of a light fiber for illumination, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data processing, analysis, or decision-making.

No.
The device is used for illumination and transillumination, which are diagnostic/visualization functions, not therapeutic ones.

No

The device is described as a light source to illuminate and transilluminate structures, which assists in visualization during procedures rather than diagnosing a condition. Its intended use focuses on location and illumination, not identifying diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "flexible instrument" and mentions physical components like a "light fiber," "male tuohy borst adapter," and compatibility with "light post adapters and light cables." This indicates a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The PathAssist Light Fiber is a surgical instrument used to illuminate and transilluminate structures within the body (nasal and sinus structures). It does not perform any tests on samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is to "locate, illuminate within, and transilluminate across nasal and sinus structures." This is a direct interaction with the body, not a test on a sample.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the PathAssist Light Fiber is a surgical illumination device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
