Yes.
The device is intended for use during dilation of the obstructed nasolacrimal duct, which is a therapeutic intervention to treat a medical condition.
No
The device is described as a "lacrimal duct catheter" intended for "dilation of the obstructed nasolacrimal duct." This indicates a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly details a physical, sterile, single-use balloon catheter made of stainless steel and polyethylene terephthalate, designed for mechanical dilation. It does not mention any software components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the dilation of the obstructed nasolacrimal duct. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body to treat a physical obstruction.
- Device Description: The device is a physical catheter with a balloon designed for mechanical dilation. It is used to physically open a blocked duct.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information for the diagnosis of a disease or condition. IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens.
This device is a medical device used for a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.

Device Description
The lacrimal duct catheter is a sterile, single use, non-pyrogenic disposable balloon catheter consisting of a semi-flexible stainless steel hypotube core and polyethylene terephthalate balloon tubing. The balloon is designed to inflate to a known diameter and length at the specific pressure. Markings are present 10 and 15 mm proximal to the beginning of the working portion of the balloon, which helps indicate when the balloon is placed correctly in the lacrimal system. The overall length of the catheter is 6 inches (15.24 cm) long. There is an opening on the distal end of the catheter hypotube to accommodate irrigation solutions. The Y-hub on the proximal end of the catheter has a luer port for inflation of the balloon catheter (labeled "inflation" with a red band) and a second luer port for irrigation through the balloon catheter (labeled "irrigation"). The balloon catheter is available in a 2 mm and 3 mm inflated diameter. The 3 mm balloon has a length of 15 mm and a deflated profile of approximately 1.1 mm. The 2 mm balloon has a length of 15 mm and a deflated profile of approximately 1.0 mm.
The balloon has a 5 mm inflated diameter and a length of 10 mm. The deflated profile of the 5 mm balloon is approximately 1.2 mm.
