Yes
The device is intended for "palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree" and is designed to "maintain patency of biliary ducts," which are therapeutic actions to alleviate symptoms or treat a condition.

No
The device is described as a stent and delivery system intended for "palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree" by maintaining patency of biliary ducts. This indicates a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a system consisting of a nitinol stent and a delivery catheter, which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree." This describes a therapeutic intervention performed within the body to treat a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical stent and delivery system designed to be implanted in the biliary duct. This is a medical device used for treatment, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a therapeutic implant.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Nonclinical performance: The differences between the subject and predicate devices are minor and are not relevant to the ability of the subject device to palliate malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree. The descriptive characteristics are precise enough to demonstrate equivalence. Preclinical testing was conducted which confirmed the safe and effective performance and biocompatibility of the subject device. Comparative testing was also conducted which confirmed substantial equivalence of the subject and predicate devices.
