The document describes mechanical biopsy devices and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is described as a "biopsy system" intended for "obtaining biopsies" for "histological examinations," indicating a diagnostic rather than therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is a biopsy system used to obtain tissue samples for histological examinations. While these samples are used in diagnosis, the device itself is a tool for sample collection, not a diagnostic device that interprets data or provides a diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that the portfolio is composed of "single use devices intended to obtain biopsy samples from soft tissue or bone," indicating physical hardware components (needles, systems) are involved, not just software.
Based on the provided information, these devices are not IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. This typically involves tests performed on the sample (like blood tests, urine tests, tissue analysis in a lab).
- These devices are used to obtain the specimens (biopsies) from the body. They are tools for collecting the sample, not for performing the diagnostic test on the sample itself. The histological examination mentioned in the device description is the diagnostic test that would be performed after the sample is collected using these devices.
Therefore, these devices are considered medical devices used for sample collection, but they are not IVDs.
