Intended Use
The MX960 reusable pressure transducer is used to convert hemodynamic pressure waveforms via a piezoresistive bridge circuit into electrical signals which can then be displayed using separate monitoring equipment.
Device Description
The MX960 reusable pressure transducer is a non-fluid pathway device. A pressure waveform is conveyed through a disposable dome which is coupled to the reusable pressure transducer during pressure monitoring. Both the transducer and dome have mutually exclusive diaphragms. Accordingly, fluid contact is limited to the dome portion of the system. The materials which comprise the MX960 have been aggressively tested per the ANSVAAMI/ISO 10993 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices" and the "Tripartite Biocompatibility Guidance for Medical Devices". All materials have successfully met these standards.

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical and electrical properties of a pressure transducer and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is described as a pressure transducer that converts hemodynamic pressure waveforms into electrical signals for display on monitoring equipment. It is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic one as it does not directly treat or alleviate a medical condition.

Yes
The device is used to convert hemodynamic pressure waveforms into electrical signals that can be displayed using separate monitoring equipment, which is a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly details a physical, reusable pressure transducer with a piezoresistive bridge circuit and diaphragms, 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 convert hemodynamic pressure waveforms into electrical signals for display on monitoring equipment. This is a physiological measurement taken directly from the body (in vivo), not a test performed on a sample of biological material outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description explicitly states it's a "non-fluid pathway device" and that "fluid contact is limited to the dome portion of the system." IVD devices typically involve contact with biological fluids or tissues for analysis.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, reagents, or diagnostic tests performed on samples.

Therefore, the MX960 reusable pressure transducer is a medical device used for physiological monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 870.2850 Extravascular blood pressure transducer.

(a)
Identification. An extravascular blood pressure transducer is a device used to measure blood pressure by changes in the mechanical or electrical properties of the device. The proximal end of the transducer is connected to a pressure monitor that produces an analog or digital electrical signal related to the electrical or mechanical changes produced in the transducer.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
