No
The document describes a physical medical device (ureteral stent) and its accessories, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on physical properties and functionality.
Yes
The device is described as a Ureteral Stent, which is intended to facilitate drainage from the kidney to the bladder. This function directly addresses a physiological issue (lack of drainage) to improve a patient's health, fitting the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is a ureteral stent, which is used for drainage from the kidney to the bladder. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly lists physical components (Ureteral Stent, Ureteral Stent Positioner, Pigtail Straightener) and the performance studies focus on physical properties and performance of these components.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate drainage from the kidney to the bladder via placement endoscopically, fluoroscopically or during an open surgical procedure." This describes a device used within the body for a therapeutic purpose (drainage), not a device used to examine specimens outside the body to provide diagnostic information.
- Device Description: The components listed (stent, positioner, straightener) are all instruments used for the physical placement and function of the stent within the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on the analysis of these samples.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device is a therapeutic device used for drainage.
