No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical device (needle) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No
The device is described as a guidewire insertion bulb needle used in preparation for catheter placement, which is a procedural tool rather than a device intended to directly treat a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a guidewire insertion needle used for catheter placement, which is a procedural tool rather than a device intended to identify or monitor medical conditions.

No

The 510(k) summary describes a physical medical device (a guidewire insertion bulb needle) and does not mention any software component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "GUIDEWIRE INSERTION IN PREPARATION FOR CATHETER PLACEMENT" and is "INSERTED PERCUTANEOUSLY." This describes a surgical or interventional procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside of the body (in vitro).

The description of the MEDCOMP RAULERSON® ONE-STEP GUIDEWIRE INSERTION BULB NEEDLE aligns with a medical device used for a procedure on a patient, not for testing samples in a lab.
