More Information

No
The summary describes a surgical system with various tools and functionalities but makes no mention of AI, ML, or image processing capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for various medical procedures, including the removal of cataracts, retinal photocoagulation for various abnormalities, and treatment of glaucoma, all of which aim to treat or alleviate a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The CONSTELLATION® Vision System is described as an ophthalmic microsurgical system, indicated for surgical procedures such as phacoemulsification, cataract removal, intraocular lens injection, and vitreoretinal surgery. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "microsurgical system" designed for various ophthalmic procedures requiring infusion, cutting, aspiration, illumination, emulsification, fragmentation, cautery, diathermy, and IOL insertion. This indicates a complex hardware system, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The CONSTELLATION® Vision System and its components are described as ophthalmic microsurgical systems and instruments used during surgical procedures on the eye. They are used for tasks like phacoemulsification, vitreous cutting, laser photocoagulation, and IOL insertion.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens taken from the patient. Its function is entirely focused on performing surgical interventions within the eye.

Therefore, the CONSTELLATION® Vision System falls under the category of surgical or therapeutic devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.
