None

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (needles) and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing or performance metrics associated with algorithmic analysis.

No
The device, "Phoenix" Epidural and Spinal Needles, is used to inject local anesthetics. While it facilitates a therapeutic procedure (regional anesthesia), the needles themselves are delivery devices, not directly therapeutic in nature.

No
The device is described as needles used to inject anesthetics, which is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states "Epidural and Spinal Needles," which are physical hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "inject local anesthetics into a patient to provide regional anesthesia." This is a direct medical intervention performed on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "Spinal and Epidural needles," which are instruments used for direct patient procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Testing of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of substances in samples
    • Diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions based on sample analysis

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device's function is to deliver medication directly into the body.
