More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical dilator and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is used to dilate strictures and openings, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as a dilator used to treat strictures and openings, not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of stainless-steel coils and polymeric materials, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is used to dilate strictures and openings within the pancreatobiliary systems and via the transgastric or transduodenal wall. This is a therapeutic procedure performed inside the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze samples or provide diagnostic information. Its purpose is to physically modify structures within the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Tornus ES is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description

The Tornus ES is a rotary-operated dilator designed for use in bile duct/pancreatic duct strictures and via transgastric/transduodenal dilation of openings.

The Tornus ES is comprised of stainless-steel coils and polymeric materials. The Dilation and Shaft segments are composed of coils materials that are welded together.

The Tornus ES is available for prescription use only.

DILATION SEGMENT
The coil of the Dilation portion of the device is a dual coil design consisting of an upper laver Wire coil and a Rope coil under layer. The distal side of the dilation segment is tapered, and the surface is coated with Resin and a Hydrophilic coating.

A tapered metal tip is welded to the tip of the coil. This metal tip is available in two applicable guidewire diameters: 0.018 inch and 0.025 inch.

SHAFT
The Shaft coil is also a dual coil design consisting of a rope coil in both the upper and under lavers.

The proximal end of the coil is coated with polyurethane, and a grip is bonded to it using an adhesive.

Principal of Operation
The Tornus ES is advanced as the physician rotates the grip, in a fashion similar to that of a screw, due to the spiral-wound wire coil design. Once the target site is reached, the site is expanded via the outer diameter of the device's tapered shape.
