No
The summary describes a mechanical ligating device with no mention of AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

Yes
The "Speedband Multiple Band Ligator" is indicated for endoscopic ligation of hemorrhoids and esophageal varices, which are medical treatments, thus making it a therapeutic device.

No
The device is a ligator, used for treatment (ligation of hemorrhoids and varices), not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly mentions "major components are the ligating handle and the ligating unit," which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "endoscopic ligation of anorectal hemorrhoids and esophageal varicies." This describes a procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body (which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic).
  • Device Description: The description of the components (ligating handle and ligating unit) aligns with a device used for a physical procedure, not for analyzing a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Speedband Multiple Band Ligator is a therapeutic device used for a medical procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Speedband Multiple Band Ligator is indicated for endoscopic ligation of anorectal hemorrhoids and esophageal varicies.

DESCRIPTIVE AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPOSED AND PREDICATE DEVICES

Boston Scientific Corporation believes that the Modified Speedband™ is substantially equivalent to the currently-marketed Speedband™ and the Wilson Cook Six Shooter. These devices share similar materials, manufacturing process, and intended use. The major components of the Modified Speedband™ are the ligating handle and the ligating unit.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

Laboratory testing regarding characteristics was performed on Modified Speedband™ to verify its safety and performance. A biocompatibility assessment was performed on the patient- and fluid-contact materials of the Modified Speedband™ with satisfactory results.

CONCLUSION

Boston Scientific Corporation believes that Modified Speedband™ is substantially equivalent to the currently-marketed Speedband™ as well as the Wilson Cook Six Shooter. The Modified Speedband™ is equivalent in its indications for use, while being very similar in design and
