No
The summary describes a mechanical surgical device with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is used to perform microlamellar kerato-o asty for the correction of myopia or hyperopia, indicating a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as performing "microlamellar keratoo asty for the correction of myopia or hyperopia," indicating it is a surgical or therapeutic device, not one used for diagnosis.

No

The device description lists multiple hardware components (Power unit, Turbine motor, Adjustable keratome head, Keratome blade, Pneumatic fixation rings, Applanation lenses, Plate checking gauge), indicating it is a physical medical 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 perform microlamellar keratoo asty for the correction of myopia or hyperopia." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's eye to correct vision.
  • Device Description: The device components listed (Power unit, Turbine motor, Adjustable keratome head, Keratome blade, Pneumatic fixation rings, Applanation lenses, Plate check ng gauge) are all instruments used in a surgical setting for cutting and manipulating tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health or condition. The provided description does not mention any interaction with biological specimens or diagnostic testing.

Therefore, this device is a surgical instrument, not an IVD.
