Intended Use
The Navigator™ HD Ureteral Access Sheath Set is indicated for use in endoscopic procedures to facilitate the passage of endoscopes, urological instruments and for the injection of fluids into the urinary tract.
Device Description
The Navigator ™ HD Ureteral Access Sheath Set is designed to provide the physician with reliable access to the urinary tract, the ability to inject fluids, and act as a conduit for device exchanges. Like all ureteral access sheath sets, Navigator™ HD also protects the ureter during device exchanges, thus helping reduce tissue trauma. This set consists of two components: an inner tapered semirigid dilator and an outer semi-rigid sheath. The outer sheath fits over the inner dilator, and the design of the hub allows the dilator to lock into the sheath. Both the dilator and sheath are radiopaque and have a lubricous hydrophilic coating. The device is offered in three French sizes, 11/13 Fr, 12/14 Fr and 13/15 Fr, in lengths up to 46cm. The Navigator ™ HD Ureteral Access Sheath Set is intended for single use only.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is used to facilitate other procedures and protect the ureter, not to treat a condition itself.

No

This device is designed to facilitate access and passage of instruments within the urinary tract and for fluid injection, serving as a procedural aid rather than for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (inner tapered semirigid dilator, outer semi-rigid sheath) and physical characteristics (French sizes, lengths, radiopaque, hydrophilic coating), indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for facilitating the passage of instruments and injecting fluids into the urinary tract during endoscopic procedures. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical sheath and dilator designed to be inserted into the urinary tract.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like urine or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device is a surgical/interventional tool used directly on the patient.
