No
The summary describes a mechanical surgical stapler and fixation device with no mention of AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No
Explanation: This device is a surgical fixation device used for approximating soft tissue and fixating surgical mesh, not for treating a disease or condition. Its purpose is mechanical rather than therapeutic.

No
The device is a surgical stapler used for tissue approximation and mesh fixation, not for diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "surgical stapler composed of a disposable sterile single use delivery instrument and resorbable fixation devices," indicating it is a physical 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 the "approximation of soft tissue and fixation of surgical mesh to tissues during open or laparoscopic surgical procedures". This describes a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "surgical stapler" and "fixation devices" used in surgical procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnosis, or treatment.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, while this device is used for direct surgical intervention on the body.
