Not Found

No
The document describes a physical medical device (a balloon dilatation catheter) and its intended use and performance testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of arteries and treatment of obstructive lesions, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is a balloon dilatation catheter used for treatment (angioplasty), not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly identifies the device as a physical catheter with lumens and a balloon, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for a medical procedure (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty) performed on a patient's body to treat blockages in arteries and fistulae.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter with lumens and a balloon, consistent with a device used for mechanical intervention within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is used inside the body for a therapeutic procedure.
