The device description and other sections focus on the physical construction and function of a passive implant, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or data processing beyond basic imaging for identification.
Yes
The device is used to treat medically uncontrollable glaucoma by shunting aqueous humor, which directly addresses a pathological condition.
No
The device is an artificial drainage implant used to treat glaucoma, not to diagnose it. It is a therapeutic device.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical implant constructed of medical grade silicone with an episcleral plate and tube, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to treat glaucoma by surgically implanting a device to drain aqueous humor. This is a therapeutic intervention performed on a patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a physical implant made of silicone, designed to be surgically placed within the eye.
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
This device is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the living body) for treatment, not for analyzing samples in vitro.

Device Description
The Baerveldt Pars Plana Glaucoma Implant is a non-valved, artificial drainage device that shunts aqueous via a tube to an episcleral plate over the equatorial regions of the globe. It is constructed entirely of medical grade silicone with an episcleral plate. The implant is molded to conform to the curvature of the glove with a 13 mm convex radius. The silicone plate is barium impregnated to increase ultrasound resolution and identification with CT scan, MRI, and plain skull films. A silicone tube connected to an "elbow" for insertion into the posterior chamber is attached to the anterior surface of the plate. The proximal portion of the plate has a flange with two large fixation holes for scleral attachment.

Intended Use:
The Baerveldt Pars Plana Glaucoma Implant is intended for use in patients with medically uncontrollable glaucoma with poor surgical prognosis.
General Description:
The Baerveldt Pars Plana Glaucoma Implant is a non-valved, artificial drainage device that shunts aqueous via a tube to an episcleral plate over the equatorial regions of the globe. It is constructed entirely of medical grade silicone with an episcleral plate. The implant is molded to conform to the curvature of the glove with a 13 mm convex radius.

Device Comparison
The Baerveldt Pars Plana Glaucoma Implant is substantially equivalent to the Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant. Both share identical plates (BG 102-350 and BG 101-350, respectively) and differ only in that the pars plana device has a silicone "elbow" to facilitate placement of the tube in the posterior chamber.
Comparison Data
Surgical performance of the both devices indicate that both perform comparably.
