No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and deployment mechanism of a physical stent and delivery system, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts like algorithms, data analysis, or learning.
Yes
The device is intended for the "treatment of tracheobronchial strictures produced by malignant neoplasms," and "designed to serve as an intralumenal support to keep open the inner of the tracheobronchial tree," which are therapeutic actions.
No
The device is a stent system intended for the treatment of tracheobronchial strictures, which means its primary purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly details a physical, implantable metallic stent and a delivery catheter, which are hardware components. The performance studies also focus on physical properties and biocompatibility of these hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to treat tracheobronchial strictures produced by malignant neoplasms by providing intralumenal support. This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a permanently implanted expandable metal stent and its delivery system. It is designed to be placed within the tracheobronchial tree.
- Mechanism of Action: The stent physically holds open the airway.
- Lack of In Vitro Diagnostic Activities: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is a therapeutic device used to treat a physical condition within the body.

Device Description
The Ultraflex Tracheobronchial Stent Systems are permanently implanted expandable metal stents designed to serve as an intralumenal support to keep open the inner of the tracheobronchial tree. They consist of a flexible delivery catheter preloaded with an expandable metallic stent.
The stent is an open-ended cylindrical mesh constructed from a single strand of nitinol wire. The wire is configured into a series of circumferential interwoven loops, with the number of loops being dependent on the diameter of the stent. The stent is elongated and compressed onto a plastic delivery catheter. The stent is held onto the delivery catheted nylon suture wrapped around the stent. The delivery catheter has a flush taper tip at the distal end, and a round hub handle at the proximal end.
The covered stent has a single layer of translucent polyurethane that covers the midsection of the stent.
Covered stents are available with a distal release system only. The distal release system begins stent deployment from the lower (distal) end of the delivery catheter.
The radiopaque (RO) markers on the delivery system and stent facilitate fluoroscopic placement.
The covered stent has four RO markers. The outer two (2) RO markers indicate the estimated final position of the ends of the deployed stent. The inner two (2) RO markers indicate the estimated final position of the margins of the deployed stent cover (Figure 1B).
The delivery system accepts a 0.035 in (0.89 mm) or 0.038 in (0.97 mm) guidewire. The delivery system is passed over the guidewire into the tracheobronchial lumen. The stent is positioned appropriately using the RO markers for guidance under fluoroscopy and by bronchoscopic visualization of the stent.
The stent is deployed by holding the handle hub in the palm of one hand, and grasping the finger ring with the other hand. By retracting the finger ring the suture crochet knots are unraveled in a circular manner along the length of the stent, gradually deploying the stent. When using the proximal release system, stent deployment begins from the upper (proximal) end of the delivery system, and continues to release toward the tip of the delivery system (distally) as the entire suture unravels. When using the distal release system, stent deployment begins from the lower (distal) end of delivery system, and continues to release towards the operator (proximally) as the entire suture unravels.
After the stent is completely released, and the nylon suture has been completely removed, the delivery system catheter can be removed.
