No
The description focuses on mechanical surgical tools (clamps and forceps) and their intended use for vascular occlusion. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.
No
The device is described as a surgical instrument (vascular clamp) used for temporary occlusion of vessels during surgery, which is an interventional/diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or cure a disease or condition.
No
This device, a vascular clamp, is used to temporarily occlude blood vessels during surgery. Its function is interventional (to assist with a surgical procedure), not diagnostic (to identify or characterize a disease or condition).
No
The device description and intended use clearly describe physical surgical instruments (bulldog clamps, Glover clamps, applying forceps) used for occluding blood vessels, which are hardware devices. There is no mention of software.
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 to physically manipulate blood vessels during surgery (occlusion). This is a surgical instrument used in vivo (within the living body).
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
The description clearly indicates a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Atraumatic Clamps and Bulldog Clamps
Intended Use:
To temporarily occlude an artery or vein with correct tension to produce minimal trauma to vessels. The different sizes and models are designed according to the type and size of the blood vessels, anatomical sites, and surgical techniques. Bulldog clamps are self-closing and are used for small vessels. The closing pressure of the GLOVER clamps can be adjusted using a nut and spring.
Applying Forceps
Intended Use:
Applying forceps are used to apply bulldog clamps in deep surgical wounds.
Micro Vascular Clamps
Intended Use
To secure vascular occlusion of small vessels during surgery and to secure vascular occlusion during pediatric surgery.
