No
The summary describes a physical medical device (guidewire) and its mechanical and material properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is a steerable guidewire, intended to facilitate general intravascular use. It is a tool for navigation within the vasculature and does not provide a therapeutic effect itself.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a steerable guidewire intended for general intravascular use, which is a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties relevant to its use as a guidewire, not diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Steerable Guidewire with hydrophilic coating and accessories," which are physical hardware components. The performance studies also describe testing of physical properties like tensile strength, flexibility, and coating adherence.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "general intravascular use including the peripheral and neurovasculature." This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose (guiding other devices), not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose conditions.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics and performance testing related to its function as a guidewire within the vasculature (tip tensile, flexibility, torque, coating, etc.). These are not tests typically associated with IVD devices.
  • Lack of IVD Language: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This guidewire is a surgical/interventional tool used directly within the patient's circulatory system.
