No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and material properties, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.
Yes
The device is used for hemostasis, repair of perforations, and prophylactic clipping, all of which involve treating or preventing medical conditions, indicating a therapeutic purpose.
No
This device is used for therapeutic procedures like hemostasis and closure of perforations, and for endoscopic marking. It does not perform any diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states it is a sterile, single-use endoscopic clipping device consisting of physical components like a delivery system and a clip. It also details mechanical and biocompatibility testing, which are relevant to hardware devices, not software-only devices.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used within the body (endoscopic clip placement within the gastrointestinal tract) for therapeutic and procedural purposes (marking, hemostasis, closure of perforations). IVDs are used outside the body to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical device (delivery system and clip) designed for physical intervention within the body. This is consistent with a surgical or procedural device, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for therapeutic and procedural interventions, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
