No
The summary describes a physical ligating clip and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or software that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No
The device, "Horizon ligating clips," is used for procedures involving vessels or anatomic structures. This is a surgical tool used to ligate or close off vessels/structures, which is a procedural/interventional function, not a therapeutic one. Therapeutic devices are typically those that administer treatment (e.g., medication delivery, radiation therapy, or stimulation therapy) rather than performing a physical repair or closure.

No
The provided text for "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that Horizon ligating clips are "indicated for procedures involving vessels or anatomic structures where Horizon ligating this are the best clip size, type and material based upon experience, judgement and needs." This describes a surgical or procedural tool for joining or closing vessels/structures, not a device used to identify, detect, or monitor a disease or condition.

No

The device description is not found, but the intended use clearly describes "ligating clips," which are physical medical devices used in surgical procedures. This indicates the device is hardware, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used in procedures involving vessels or anatomic structures for ligation. This is an in vivo application (within a living organism).
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not fit that description.

The device is a surgical clip used internally during procedures, not for testing samples outside the body.
