More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (spinal needle) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No
The device is a spinal needle, which is used for diagnostic or interventional purposes (e.g., administering medication, collecting fluid), but it does not inherently provide a therapeutic effect itself beyond facilitating these procedures.

No
The device description "Double-Holed Pencil Point Spinal Needle (DHPP)" indicates it is a tool for accessing the spinal area, likely for procedures or drug delivery, rather than for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states "Double-Holed Pencil Point Spinal Needle (DHPP)", which is a physical medical device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Device Description: The device is described as a "Double-Holed Pencil Point Spinal Needle (DHPP)". This is a physical medical device used for procedures involving the spine.
  • Intended Use / Indications for Use: While "Not Found" is listed, the nature of a spinal needle strongly suggests it's used for procedures on the body, not for testing samples from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of:
    • Testing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Analyzing biomarkers or analytes
    • Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. A spinal needle is a tool used for accessing the spinal space, not for performing diagnostic tests on samples.
