Intended Use
The Zilver 518 and 635 Biliary Stent are indicated for use in palliation of malignant neoplasms in the billary tree.
Device Description
The Zilver® 518 and 635101 Biliary Stent is a self-expandable stent made of nitinol. The special laser-cut pattern of the nitinol tube provides a construction with strong radial force and high flexibility. It is a slotted tube that is designed to provide support while maintaining flexibility in the duct upon deployment. Post-deployment, the stent is designed to impart an outward radial force upon the inner lumen of the duct, establishing patency in the stented region, thereby maintaining constant flow in the duct. The stent has radiopaque markers (gold rivets) at both ends to assist in fluoroscopic visualization of the stent position. The delivery system for both ZIB5 and ZIB6 devices includes a handle assembly and an introducer catheter assembly. The Zilver® 518 and 635™ Biliary Stent is mounted on the inner catheter of the delivery system and is restrained by an outer sheath. The delivery system is used to deliver the stent to the appropriate location. The stent is deployed by retracting the outer sheath while holding the central metal cannula stationary. Full deployment of the stent occurs when the distal end of the sheath has been retracted past the proximal end of the stent.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the physical properties and mechanical function of a self-expandable stent and its delivery system. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing for analysis, or any data-driven decision-making components. The performance studies described are related to biocompatibility, MRI compatibility, and mechanical testing, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is a biliary stent indicated for the palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree, which is a therapeutic intervention to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.

No

The device is a self-expandable stent used for palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly details a physical, self-expandable stent made of nitinol with radiopaque markers and a delivery system including a handle and catheter. This is a hardware medical device.

No, 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 Description: The Zilver 518 and 635 Biliary Stent is a physical implantable device made of nitinol. It is designed to be placed inside the body to open up blocked biliary ducts.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is "palliation of malignant neoplasms in the billary tree," which means relieving symptoms caused by tumors in the biliary system by keeping the ducts open. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

The description clearly indicates a device that is physically inserted into the body for a therapeutic purpose, which is the opposite of how IVDs function.
