Intended Use
The HEARTSTRING III Proximal Seal System is intended for use by Physicians during CABG procedures to maintain hemostasis and to facilitate the completion of a proximal anastomosis to the aorta without application of an aortic clamp.
Device Description
The HEARTSTRING III Proximal Seal System is a device designed to enable the creation of a proximal anastomosis of a vessel graft to the aorta without the need for an aortic clamp during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The HEARTSTRING III Proximal Seal System is comprised of the Proximal Seal, Delivery Device, Loading device and Aortic Cutter. The HEARTSTRING III Seal is a device that is delivered into the aorta via an aortotomy created by the Aortic Cutter and provides a sealed region to facilitate the proximal anastomosis. The Delivery Device is a syringe-like tube with plunger that is used to deploy the HEARTSTRING III Seal inside of the aorta. The Loading Device is a mechanism that rolls the HEARTSTRING III Seal and loads the HEARTSTRING III Seal into the Delivery Device. The Aortic Cutter is a single use (one aortotomy) device that consists of a Grip, a Cutter, Aortic Stop, a Cap, a Needle, a Safety Lock and an Actuation Button. It is used to create the aortotomy for the anastomosis.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical components and their function in facilitating a surgical procedure, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is used to maintain hemostasis and facilitate a surgical procedure (CABG), specifically to create a sealed region for an anastomosis, rather than to treat, diagnose, cure, or prevent disease.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for use during CABG procedures to maintain hemostasis and facilitate proximal anastomosis to the aorta, which are interventional/surgical functions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components: Proximal Seal, Delivery Device, Loading device, and Aortic Cutter.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "Physicians during CABG procedures to maintain hemostasis and to facilitate the completion of a proximal anastomosis to the aorta without application of an aortic clamp." This describes a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
  • Device Description: The device components (Proximal Seal, Delivery Device, Loading device, Aortic Cutter) are all designed for direct interaction with the aorta during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests in vitro (outside the living body) on samples taken from a patient. This device is clearly designed for use in vivo during a surgical procedure.
