Intended Use
The Weck Auto Endo5 Hem-o-lok ML automatic endoscopic ligating clip appliers are indicated for use as delivery devices for Hem-o-lok ML non-absorbable polymer ligating clips. These appliers are designed for use with 5/5.5mm cannulas. Hem-o-lok Ligating Clips are intended for use in procedures involving ligation of vessels or tissue structures. Surgeons should apply the appropriate size of the vessel or tissue structure to be ligated so that the clip completely encompasses the vessel or tissue structure.
Device Description
The Weck Auto Endo5 Hem-o-lok Ligating Clip Applier is an automatic, endoscopic applier that is pre-loaded with fifteen (15) Hem-o-lok medium-large, non-absorbable polymer ligating clips. The applier is a sterile, disposable device that is intended to be used by a surgeon or physician's assistant during laparoscopic procedures when ligation of vessels or tissue structures is necessary. The Auto Endo5 applier is actuated by a trigger, which is housed in a body assembly. Adjacent to the body is a turn knob that is used to rotate the applier jaws. The Auto Endo5 applier is 44 cm long with a working length of 29.7 cm. This applier can be used with a 5 or 5.5 mm cannula.

The description focuses on the mechanical function of an automatic ligating clip applier and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No
Explanation: This device is a surgical tool used for ligating vessels or tissue structures; it does not directly treat or manage a disease or condition for therapeutic effect.

No

This device is described as a delivery device for ligating clips used to ligate vessels or tissue structures during surgical procedures, which is a therapeutic function, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, disposable hardware device (applier) with mechanical components (trigger, turn knob, jaws) designed for delivering ligating clips. It does not mention any software components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the ligation of vessels or tissue structures during surgical procedures. This is an in-vivo application (within the living body).
  • Device Description: The device is a surgical instrument (a clip applier) used by a surgeon or physician's assistant during laparoscopic procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, not to directly treat or manipulate structures within the body during surgery.
