No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of introducer sheaths and dilators, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
The device is an introducer sheath and dilator, explicitly stated to be "intended to introduce therapeutic devices into the vasculature" and "providing means of introducing therapeutic or diagnostic devices into the vasculature," rather than being a therapeutic device itself.
No
The device description explicitly states, "These devices are intended to be used as introducer sheaths, providing means of introducing therapeutic or diagnostic devices into the vasculature." This indicates that the device itself is a tool for introducing other devices, not a diagnostic device that performs diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly states the device is composed of an introducer sheath and dilator(s), which are physical hardware components. The performance studies also describe testing of physical properties like tensile strength, leakage, and abrasion.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "introduce therapeutic devices into the vasculature". This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for delivering other medical devices.
- Device Description: The description details an introducer sheath and dilator, which are physical tools used to access blood vessels.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body), such as blood, urine, or tissue samples, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body. This device is a tool for accessing the body to deliver other treatments or devices.
