No
The description focuses on a mechanical device for stent insertion and does not mention any AI/ML components or functions.

No.
The Pilling Weck Surgical Y Stent Forceps is described as a surgical instrument used to insert tracheobronchial stents, not a device that directly provides therapy or treatment itself.

No
The device, Pilling Weck Surgical Y Stent Forceps, is described as a tool for inserting tracheobronchial stents during ENT procedures, mechanically holding stent limbs for insertion and then releasing them. Its function is interventional/surgical, not diagnostic (identifying or characterizing a condition).

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, hand-controlled forcep with a grasping tip, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a surgical instrument (forceps) used to physically insert a stent into the tracheobronchial tree during a surgical procedure. It does not involve testing or analyzing samples from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for a surgical procedure (inserting a stent), not for diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the Pilling Weck Surgical Y Stent Forceps is a surgical instrument, not an IVD.

§ 874.4680 Bronchoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A bronchoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the bronchoscope and is intended to examine or treat the larynx and tracheobronchial tree. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the rigid ventilating bronchoscope, rigid nonventilating bronchoscope, nonrigid bronchoscope, laryngeal-bronchial telescope, flexible foreign body claw, bronchoscope tubing, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy brush, rigid biopsy forceps, flexible biopsy curette, and rigid bronchoscope aspirating tube, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.(b)
Classification. Class II.
