Intended Use
General surgical fluids, exudate, soft tissue, and general tissue removal from surgical sites.
Device Description
General aspirator(s), which use an electrically (AC) driven vacuum pump generating a negative pressure for evacuating surgical waste. The Psi-Tec Aspirator 2 also has the capability to capture the waste air "exhaust" (that creates the negative pressure) in an enclosed container. This now, contained and pressurized air, can then be utilized for driving other devices requiring the use of pressurized air.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on a standard vacuum pump for aspiration, with no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No
The device is described as a general aspirator, used for evacuating waste fluids and tissues from surgical sites, and powering other devices with pressurized air. It does not exert a therapeutic effect on the patient.

No.
The device description clearly states its function is for "evacuating surgical waste" and for "driving other devices requiring the use of pressurized air." Its "Intended Use / Indications for Use" are for "General surgical fluids, exudate, soft tissue, and general tissue removal from surgical sites." None of these functions involve diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it uses an electrically (AC) driven vacuum pump and has the capability to capture and utilize pressurized air, indicating it is a hardware device with mechanical components, 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 is for the removal of surgical fluids, exudate, and tissue from surgical sites. This is a physical process performed on the patient during surgery.
  • Device Description: The device is a general aspirator that uses a vacuum pump to create negative pressure for evacuation. This is a mechanical function.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. There is no mention of reagents, calibrators, controls, or any other components typically associated with IVD devices.

The device's function is to physically remove material from the surgical site, not to analyze biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
