No
The summary describes a physical medical device (spinal needle) and its materials, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

No.
The device is a spinal needle for aspiration and/or injection of fluids, which is a procedural tool rather than a device for "therapy" or treatment of a disease or condition. While used in medical procedures, it doesn't fit the common definition of a therapeutic device designed to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent a disease.

Yes
The intended use explicitly mentions "parenteral diagnostic procedure" and lists specific procedures like "lumbar puncture, myelogram and amniocentesis," which are diagnostic in nature.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical medical device (needle, hub, cannula) and does not mention any software component.

Based on the provided information, the Clear Hub Spinal Needle is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "aspiration and or injection of fluids during regional spinal anesthesia and parenteral diagnostic procedure, specifically lumbar puncture, myelogram and amniocentesis." These are procedures performed on the patient's body, not on samples outside the body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a needle and hub assembly for physical insertion and fluid manipulation within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.

Therefore, the Clear Hub Spinal Needle is a medical device used for procedures performed in vivo (within the body), not an in vitro diagnostic device.
