Device Description
The Flexible Dilating Sheath is intended for percutaneous dilation of tissue surrounding indwelling catheters or foreign objects. The device is supplied sterile and is intended for one-time use. Reasonable assurance of biocompatibility of the materials comprising the Flexible Dilating Sheath is provided by their established history of use in medical product manufacturing. Results of toxicity testing also provide reasonable assurance of biocompatibility, with the results showing the material to meet the test requirements

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (a dilating sheath) and its intended use for tissue dilation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

No
The device is described as a "Flexible Dilating Sheath" intended for dilation of tissue, which is a procedural tool rather than a device for treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as a "Flexible Dilating Sheath" intended for "percutaneous dilation of tissue." Dilation is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of it being used to identify or determine the nature of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Flexible Dilating Sheath" and describes its physical components and materials, indicating it is a hardware device.

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 (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the device is a "Flexible Dilating Sheath" intended for "percutaneous dilation of tissue surrounding indwelling catheters or foreign objects." This is a device used within the body to physically manipulate tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any testing of biological samples, analysis of bodily fluids, or any diagnostic function based on laboratory analysis.

This device is a surgical or interventional device, not an IVD.
