Intended Use
The Injection Gold ProbeTM Bipolar Electronemostasis Catheter is indicated for use in endoscopic injection therapy (to deliver pharmacological injection agents, such as vasoconstrictors) and endoscopic electrohemostasis (cauterization of tissue and coagulation of blood) of actual or potential bleeding sites in the gastrointestinal tract. These sites include the following: - Peptic Ulcers - Dieulafoy Lesions - Mallory-Weiss Tears - Bleeding Polyp Stalks - Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) - Angiomata The Injection Gold Probe Bipolar Electrohemostasis Catheter also has irrigation capability. Any other use is not recommended.
Device Description
The Injection Gold Probe Catheter is an injection therapy and bipolar electrohemostasis catheter with irrigation capabilities. The Injection Gold Probe Catheter is available in a working length of 210 cm with outer diameters of 7F (2.3 mm) and 10F (3.3 mm), compatible with a minimum of 2.8 mm and 3.7 mm scope channels, respectively. The catheter shaft provides firmness for persendicular and tangential use, while the Mediglide coating on the catheter promotes minimal friction during endoscope passage. I. Injection Therapy Each Injection Gold Probe Catheter contains a 25 gauge injection needle for injection therapy. The catheter handle contains the injection needle hub. Injection is performed by attaching a luerlock syringe to the "Injection" hub and advancing the needle. II. Bipolar Electrohemostasis The gold-spiral electrode on the probe tip provides bipolar electrohemostasis. The Injection Gold Probe Catheter connects directly to the Endostat™ family of Bipolar Electrosurgical Generators. Or utilize the Bipolar Cable Adapter supplied by Boston Scientific for other bipolar electrosurgical generators. III. Irrigation Irrigation with saline or sterile water is performed by connecting the irrigation hub to the irrigation port of the bipolar generator or to a 30 cm3 (30 cc) or 60 cm3 (60 cc) luer-lock syringe or mechanical irrigation system for generators without irrigation capability.

No
The device description focuses on mechanical and electrical components for injection, electrohemostasis, and irrigation. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes.
The device is indicated for endoscopic injection therapy (to deliver pharmacological injection agents, such as vasoconstrictors) and endoscopic electrohemostasis (cauterization of tissue and coagulation of blood) of actual or potential bleeding sites in the gastrointestinal tract, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is used for therapeutic purposes (endoscopic injection therapy and electrohemostasis) to treat bleeding sites, not to identify or diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical catheter with a needle, electrodes, and irrigation capabilities. It is a hardware device used for injection and electrohemostasis.

Based on the provided information, 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 Injection Gold Probe Bipolar Electrohemostasis Catheter is used inside the body (in the gastrointestinal tract) for direct intervention (injection therapy and electrohemostasis) on bleeding sites. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes samples.

The description clearly outlines its use for treating bleeding within the GI tract, which is an in-vivo (within the living organism) procedure, not an in-vitro one.
