No
The summary describes a port system for fluid delivery and blood withdrawal, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data analysis capabilities.

No
The device is used for the administration and withdrawal of substances for therapy, not as a therapy itself.

No
The provided text describes a Low Profile Port system used for repeated intravascular injection or continuous infusion of fluids, medications, antibiotics, nutritionals, and withdrawal of venous blood samples for patient therapy. This functionality aligns with delivering treatment and obtaining samples, not with diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical "Low Profile Plastic Port Attachable Catheter with Blue Flex Tip® System / Introducer Kit," which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a device used for direct patient therapy (injection, infusion, blood withdrawal) within the body (intravascular). This is a therapeutic and access device, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description of a "Low Profile Plastic Port Attachable Catheter with Blue Flex Tip® System / Introducer Kit" aligns with a device used for accessing the vascular system for treatment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor a disease, or determine compatibility.

IVD devices are typically used to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, or tissue to provide information about a patient's health status. This device is used for delivering substances to or withdrawing substances from the patient's bloodstream directly.
