No
The summary describes a physical medical device (sheath introducer) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device can be used for the introduction of devices for therapeutic procedures, but the device itself is a "sheath introducer," which is an access device, not a therapeutic device. It facilitates therapy but does not provide therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a sheath introducer used for percutaneous introduction of other devices, not for actively diagnosing conditions itself. Its "Intended Use" states it is used for introducing devices for "diagnostic and therapeutic procedures," implying that the diagnostic function is performed by other devices introduced through it, not by the sheath introducer itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "wire-reinforced flexible tube with an integral side port/hemostasis valve," which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Bipore AccuFlex™ Percutaneous Sheath Introducer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for the "percutaneous introduction of various devices into arteries and/or veins for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures." This describes a device used within the body for accessing blood vessels, not a device used to test samples outside the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description of a "wire-reinforced flexible tube with an integral side port/hemostasis valve" aligns with a medical device used for vascular access, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an IVD.
