Not Found

No
The summary describes a simple mechanical suction catheter and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is used for suctioning liquids and solids, which is a supportive rather than a therapeutic function.

No

The device is described as a suction catheter used to remove liquids and solids, which is a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device is described as a "Suction Catheter," which is a physical medical device used for suctioning. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Tri-Med #ES-32 Suction Catheter is used to remove substances (liquids and solids) from the body (specifically the stomach and esophagus). This is a therapeutic or procedural device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes samples.

The intended use clearly describes a procedure performed on the patient, not a test performed on a sample from the patient.
