No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description points to a standard pneumatic compression system.

Yes
The device is intended to "lower the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients whom may be at risk," which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as an external pneumatic compression system intended to lower the risk of DVT, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "Pump Model VP 500 and Sleeve Model VP 501," which are hardware components of an external pneumatic compression system.

Based on the provided information, the Vaso Press system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "lower the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients whom may be at risk." This describes a therapeutic or preventative medical device that acts externally on the body.
  • Device Description: The description mentions a "pump" and "sleeve," which are components of an external pneumatic compression system. This further supports the idea of an external, non-diagnostic device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a patient's health status based on in vitro analysis.
    • Using reagents or assays.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. The Vaso Press system's function is to apply external pressure to the limbs, which is a physical intervention, not an in vitro analysis.
