More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of a guide wire, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is an introducer guide wire used to facilitate the placement of introducer sheaths during diagnostic and interventional procedures, not for direct therapeutic treatment.

No

This device is a guide wire used to facilitate the placement of introducer sheaths during procedures, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical guide wire made of stainless steel, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Prelude Small O.D. Introducer Guide Wire is a physical tool used within the body (in the peripheral vasculature) to facilitate the placement of other devices (introducer sheaths). It does not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for facilitating placement of introducer sheaths during diagnostic and interventional procedures, not for analyzing samples.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical construction and properties of the guide wire itself, not on any reagents or analytical components typical of IVDs.

This device is a medical device used in interventional procedures, but it falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.
