No
The document describes a pneumatically powered surgical drill system and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

No.
The CurvTek TSR System is a surgical instrument used to drill holes in bone for soft tissue attachment or wiring/cabling; it is an instrument used during a procedure, not a device that directly provides therapy.

No

The device is described as a "pneumatically powered instrument system consisting of a handpiece, disposable single patient use drill bit cartridges" used "to drill holes in bone." This indicates a surgical tool, not a device for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a pneumatically powered instrument system consisting of a handpiece, disposable drill bit cartridges, and accessories, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical instrument system used to drill holes in bone for soft tissue attachment or wiring/cabling. This is a direct surgical intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a pneumatically powered instrument system with a handpiece and drill bits. This aligns with surgical tools, not devices used to examine specimens outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is purely mechanical for surgical procedures.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The CurvTek TSR System does not fit this description.
