Intended Use
The Segmented Esophageal Stent System is intended for maintaining esophageal luminal patency in esophageal strictures caused by intrinsic, or extrinsic malignant turnors only, and occlusion of concurrent esophageal fistula.
Device Description
The stent is provided pre-loaded in the delivery system. The stent is made up of several segments. The main frame is woven by Nitinol wire, and the connecting part is PTFE connecting loop. The stent with this segmented structure can flexibly conform to the curvature of the human body lumen, thereby reducing the stimulation of the end to the lumen. Silicone membrane applied to the stent covers the complete body of the stent along both flanges, which means the segmented esophageal stent is a fully covered stent. The stent is formed with a flange at either end. The increased diameter of the stent at the stent ends helps provide resistance to migration. The covering is intended to reduce the risk of tissue ingrowth and provides a occlusion for esophageal fistulas. To aid in visibility under fluoroscopy there are 4 bands at either end of the stent and 2 bands at the middle of the stent. The stent has a retrieval loop which can be used to reposition the stent during the initial placement procedure if desired. The delivery system allows for desheathing to deploy the stent and recapturing the stent during stent deployment. The device is supplied sterile, intended for single use only and is available for prescription use only. Use of this device is restricted to a trained healthcare professional.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics, materials, and mechanical performance of the stent and delivery system. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any software component that would utilize such technologies for analysis, diagnosis, or treatment.

Yes

The device (Segmented Esophageal Stent System) is intended for "maintaining esophageal luminal patency in esophageal strictures caused by intrinsic, or extrinsic malignant tumors only, and occlusion of concurrent esophageal fistula." This indicates it is used for treating a medical condition for direct patient benefit, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

This device, an esophageal stent, is intended for maintaining luminal patency in strictures and occluding fistulas. It is a therapeutic device inserted into the body, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical stent made of Nitinol wire and PTFE, a delivery system, and mentions bench testing related to physical properties and biocompatibility, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for maintaining esophageal luminal patency and occluding fistulas in patients with malignant tumors. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical stent designed to be implanted in the esophagus. It does not involve analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device's function is mechanical support and occlusion, not the detection or measurement of substances or characteristics in a sample to diagnose a condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biocompatibility and mechanical properties of the device, which are relevant for an implantable medical device, not an IVD.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This esophageal stent does not fit that description.
