The device is used to administer regional anesthesia, which is part of a surgical procedure, but the device itself is not providing therapy.

No

The device is described as an epidural kit for regional anesthesia during surgery, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Kit" composed of "materials" and undergoes "physical testing," indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide regional anesthesia during surgery. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on a patient, not a test performed on a sample of bodily fluid or tissue in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the materials and testing for suitability for direct patient contact and use in a surgical setting.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, diagnosing conditions based on biological markers, or any other activity typically associated with IVD devices.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device is a tool used for a medical procedure on a patient.
