The summary describes a mechanical device (annuloplasty ring and instruments) for surgical repair and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as "intended for use in the repair of the human cardiac mitral valve" and "as a reinforcement for repair of the human cardiac mitral valve damaged by acquired or congenital disease," which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device that treats or mitigates a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as an annuloplasty ring and associated instrumentation intended for the repair and reinforcement of the mitral valve, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states the system consists of an annuloplasty ring and instrumentation, which are physical hardware components, not software.
Based on the provided information, the AnnuloFlo™ System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is the "repair of the human cardiac mitral valve." This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
- Device Description: The device is an "annuloplasty ring" and "instrumentation" for implanting it. These are physical devices used during surgery.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
IVD devices are typically used to perform tests on samples taken from a patient to provide diagnostic or other health-related information. The AnnuloFlo™ System is a surgical implant and associated tools, which falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment or repair within the body.
