Intended Use
The MiNS grasping instruments are a family of minimally invasive devices with the means to penetrate soft tissue to access certain areas of the human anatomy. The devices are used to grasp, hold and manipulate other soft internal tissues as well as items such as hernia mesh.
Device Description
The MiNS devices are a family of disposable and re-useable devices. Consisting of an integrated, insulated needle/cannula shaft that houses a retractable grasper (NLU) which are inserted into a reusable Handle. The disposable NLU's when inserted into a reusable Handles are used for mobilization and manipulation of soft tissue during general laparoscopic procedures. The system has the ability to directly penetrate soft tissue to access certain areas of the human anatomy without the need for a traditional insertion conduit. The shaft of the instrument can be introduced percutaneously to the surgical site, after which the working portion of the instrument can be deployed to approximate, grasp and manipulate soft tissue.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical grasping and manipulation, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats or heals a disease or condition. This device is used to grasp, hold, and manipulate tissues and items during general laparoscopic procedures, serving as a surgical tool rather than providing direct therapy.

No
The device is described as a surgical instrument used to grasp, hold, and manipulate soft tissue and other items like hernia mesh, which are interventional actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a needle/cannula shaft, retractable grasper, and handle, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used to "penetrate soft tissue to access certain areas of the human anatomy" and to "grasp, hold and manipulate other soft internal tissues as well as items such as hernia mesh." This is a description of a surgical instrument used in vivo (within the living body).
  • Device Description: The device description further clarifies its use in "general laparoscopic procedures" and its ability to "directly penetrate soft tissue to access certain areas of the human anatomy." This reinforces its use as a surgical tool.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the living body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided description does not mention any such use or interaction with biological specimens outside the body.

Therefore, the MiNS grasping instruments are surgical instruments, not IVD devices.
