No
The summary describes a mechanical device for probe alignment and needle guidance, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or performance studies typically associated with AI/ML-driven devices.

Yes
The device is used for radioactive seed implantation in the treatment of prostate cancer, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is used for precision ultrasound probe alignment and radioactive seed implantation for treatment, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists three hardware components: an adjustable height base, an adjustable multi-axis head, and an ultrasound probe holder and needle guide. This indicates it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Tayman Medical, Inc. Stepping and Stabilization System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is used for "precision ultrasound probe alignment and radioactive seed implantation." This is a procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "treatment of prostate cancer," which is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one in the IVD sense.

The device is a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure guided by imaging, but it does not perform an in vitro diagnostic test.

§ 892.1570 Diagnostic ultrasonic transducer.

(a)
Identification. A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Section XI - Summary of Safety and Effectiveness

Date of Preparation:August 16, 1996
Device Name:Tayman Medical, Inc. Stepping and Stabilization System
Classification Name:Guide Surgical Instrument 79FZX
Manufacturer:Tayman Medical, Inc. located at 15 Foxhunt Drive,
Chesterfield, Missouri 63017
Predicate Device:The Tayman Medical, Inc. Seeding Device is substantially
equivalent in intended use, safety and effectiveness and
construction to the Teknar, Inc. Seeding device. That device
was produced and marketed by Teknar, Inc. formally located at
267 Wolfner Drive, Fenton, Missouri 63026.
Device Description:The seeding device is comprised of three basic components.
The adjustable height base. The adjustable, multi-axis head.
The ultrasound probe holder and needle guide.
Intended Use:The Tayman Medical, Inc. Stepping and Stabilization System
is used to provide precision ultrasound probe alignment and
radioactive seed implantation in the treatment of prostate
cancer.
Clinical and Non-Clinical
Similarities and Differences:The Tayman Medical, Inc. Stepping and Stabilization System
is substantially equivalent to the Teknar, Inc. Seeding device
since they both are used to provide precision ultrasound probe
alignment and radioactive seed implantation in the treatment
of prostate cancer. They are operated in the exact same way
and are made from the same materials.
