Intended Use
The NICO Myriad NOVUS is a powered instrument consisting of a console, handpieces, and accessories intended to perform resection and removal of soft tissue and fluids under direct visualization with or without magnification (e.g., loupes or microscope). Types of direct visualization may include laparoscopic, pelviscopic, percutaneous, and open. Applications include those when access to the is limited, such as Neurosurgical/ Spinal and ENT/Otolaryngological. Specific neurosurgical indications may include diseases such as the following: - Primary/Secondary Brain Tumors - Vascular Abnormalities/Malformations (e.g., hemangiomas, and hematoma evacuation/CH) - Intraventricular Tumors/Cysts The Myriad-LX illumination accessories are intended for use with the Myriad-LX light source for delivery of light to the surgical field to enhance visualization of tissue. The NICO Automated Preservation System accessories are intended for use with the Myriad for collection and preservation of resected tissue.
Device Description
The NICO Myriad NOVUS is a minimally invasive surgical system designed for the removal of soft tissues and fluids under direct visualization. The technology platform is based on combining a minimally invasive non-heat generating reciprocating inner cannula and a stationary outer cannula with electronically controlled variable suction. The handpiece is capable of precise tissue shaving and rapid tissue debulking. The NICO Automated Preservation System™ is a group of accessories for collection and preservation of resected tissue, it is comprised of three parts: - Specimen Collector with filter element which collects tissue; - Specimen Infusion Valve (SIV) which provides the desired biological environment; - Specimen Preserver which provides the desired thermal condition For standard handpieces, the Myriad-LX™ high intensity light source, handpiece sleeve, and illumination fiber combine to deliver illumination to the surgical field to aid in visualization.
More Information

No
The summary describes a surgical system for tissue removal and fluid aspiration, focusing on mechanical and illumination components. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
The device is intended for the resection, removal, and collection of soft tissue and fluids, which is a surgical tool, not a therapeutic device.

No

This device is described as a surgical system for the resection and removal of soft tissue and fluids ("resection and removal of soft tissue and fluids"). It also mentions "collection and preservation of resected tissue" and "delivery of light to the surgical field to enhance visualization of tissue." These are all therapeutic or supportive functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a console, handpieces, cannulas, suction mechanisms, a light source, and accessories for tissue collection and preservation. The performance studies also include testing of physical characteristics like tensile strength, illumination, longevity, and thermal properties, indicating a hardware-based device.

Based on the provided text, the NICO Myriad NOVUS is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical instrument for the resection and removal of soft tissue and fluids within the body under direct visualization. This is an in vivo procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical system with handpieces, suction, and illumination for use during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside the body to provide information about a patient's health status, which is the core function of an IVD. The tissue collection system is for preserving resected tissue, not for diagnostic testing of that tissue by the device itself.

Therefore, the NICO Myriad NOVUS is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
