No
The description focuses on controlled fluid delivery mechanics and does not mention any AI/ML terms or functionalities.

No
The Squirt™ Fluid Delivery System is a delivery system for therapeutic agents, not a therapeutic device itself. Its function is to administer thrombolytic agents, which perform the therapeutic action.

No
The device is described as a "fluid delivery system" intended for "controlled administration of thrombolytic agents," which indicates a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "fluid delivery system, designed to be attached to a syringe and a catheter," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Squirt™ Fluid Delivery System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "controlled administration of thrombolytic agents into the peripheral vasculature." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for therapeutic purposes (delivering medication).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's "designed to be attached to a syringe and a catheter, to infuse controlled administration of thrombolytic agents into the peripheral vasculature." This is a delivery system for medication within the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Squirt™ does not perform any such analysis of specimens.

Therefore, the Squirt™ Fluid Delivery System is a medical device used for drug delivery in vivo, not an IVD.
