No
The summary describes a mechanical clamp for applying pressure and does not mention any computational or data-driven components indicative of AI/ML.

No.
The device facilitates hemostasis but does not treat a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is used to apply pressure for hemostasis after a procedure, which is a therapeutic or post-procedural function, not a diagnostic one. It does not identify or detect a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states "Femoral Artery Vascular Clamp-Hand Held," indicating a physical, hardware-based device used to apply pressure. 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 perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The FAVC-HH: Femoral Artery Vascular Clamp-Hand Held is a physical device used to apply pressure directly to the body (specifically, the femoral artery puncture site) to stop bleeding. It does not analyze any samples or perform any diagnostic tests.

The device's function is entirely mechanical and therapeutic (stopping bleeding), not diagnostic.
