Intended Use
The instruments are used for Percutaneous Lumbar Disc Decompression. This involves partial or complete removal of human intervertebral disc hemias or degenerative diseases within the lumbar region. The goal is to decompress spinal structures like roots of nerves. Performing procedures like the mentioned PDD (Percutaneous Disc Decompression) is restricted to trained surgeons. The procedure is normally supported by the use of navigational systems (e.g. CT's, MRI, or Neuronavigation).
Device Description
Discectorny Instruments are made of medical grade stainless steel. They are used for partial or complete removal of intravertebral disc material in patients suffering from spinal compression syndromes. Percutaneous access is achieved by small incisions and introduction of sleeves.

No
The summary describes mechanical surgical instruments and their intended use, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The use of imaging modalities is for navigation, not for processing or analysis by the device itself.

Yes
The device is used for partial or complete removal of intervertebral disc material to decompress spinal structures, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at treating medical conditions.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an instrument used for surgical removal of disc material and decompression of spinal structures. Its purpose is therapeutic intervention, not diagnosis. It is supported by diagnostic imaging modalities (CT, MRI), but the device itself does not perform diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states the instruments are made of medical grade stainless steel, indicating a physical hardware component.

Based on the provided information, 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 these instruments are used for "Percutaneous Lumbar Disc Decompression," which involves the removal of disc material within the human body. This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to decompress spinal structures by removing disc material, not to analyze samples for diagnostic purposes.

The device is a surgical instrument used for a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
