More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a balloon catheter for dilatation and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes

The device is recommended for the dilatation of stenosis in the biliary and gastrointestinal tracts, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at treating medical conditions.

No

The device is a balloon catheter used for dilatation of the biliary and gastrointestinal tracts, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical balloon catheter, which is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used for dilatation of the biliary and gastrointestinal tracts. This is a therapeutic 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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any analysis of biological samples, chemical reactions, or diagnostic testing performed on specimens outside the body.

Therefore, the Modified Olbert® Balloon Catheter is a medical device used for a therapeutic intervention, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
