Intended Use
Vascular Clamps are indicated for use for temporary or partial occlusion of blood vessels during open surgical procedures.
Device Description
HEBUmedical Vascular Clamps are reusable stainless steel ring-handled clamps provided in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and lengths to accommodate the individual needs of the surgeon and the procedure. based on the anatomy of the site and type of occlusion. The length and angles are design features that can be important to keep the handles and shanks out of the field of vision of the operative site. The handle is provided with a ratchet closure, which permits the surgeon to adjust the amount of tension applied to the vessel. The device is provided non-sterile for sterilization by the user.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and summary of performance studies describe a purely mechanical surgical instrument with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device is used for temporary or partial occlusion of blood vessels during open surgical procedures, which is a supportive role in surgery, not a therapeutic treatment itself.

No

Explanation: The device, a vascular clamp, is used for "temporary or partial occlusion of blood vessels during open surgical procedures." This is an interventional/surgical function, not a diagnostic one. Its purpose is to physically manipulate tissue, not to identify or characterize a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical, reusable stainless steel clamp, which is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that these Vascular Clamps are used for "temporary or partial occlusion of blood vessels during open surgical procedures." This is a surgical instrument used directly on the body during a procedure.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to physically manipulate blood vessels during surgery, not to analyze samples for diagnostic purposes.

The information provided about the device's design, materials, sterilization, and performance testing (clamp force and occlusion) further confirms its nature as a surgical instrument, not an IVD.
