Intended Use
The ILM Endotracheal Tube is indicated for airway management by oral intubation of the trachea.
Device Description
The ILM ETT is a straight, cuffed, wire-reinforced tracheal tube, with a Murphy Eye. It is available in a three sizes with internal diameters of 7.0mm, 7.5mm and 8.0mm. The airway tube is made from silicone and features a stainless steel reinforcing wire to prevent kinking or occlusion of the tube. The tip of the tube is molded from a softer grade of silicone for passage through the vocal cords. The airway tube features an inflatable silicone cuff for sealing the tube in the trachea. The tip of the ILM ETT is beveled in two directions to aid passage of the tube through the trachea. Depth markings are printed on the airway tube (in centimeters). These indicate the distance to the distal tip of the tube. The tube also has a printed black line to indicate its caudal surface. The ILM ETT features a small diameter silicone tube connected to a pilot balloon with a luer check valve for inflation of the cuff. The ILM ETT can be connected to the anesthesia circuit by a removable 15mm standard male connector which conforms to ISO5356-1 (1987). A connector is supplied with each ILM ETT. The ILM ETT is designed to be compatible with the LMA-Fastrach (an oropharyngeal airway). To ensure compatibility, a marker line indicates when the tube passes through the LMA-Fastrach. In addition, the inflation line is mounted close to the rear of the ILM ETT to ensure unobstructed passage of the tube through the LMA-Fastrach.

Not Found

No
The device description details a physical medical device (endotracheal tube) with no mention of software, algorithms, or any components that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is also explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is indicated for airway management by oral intubation, which is a supportive function, not a therapeutic treatment.

No

The device is an endotracheal tube, indicated for airway management by oral intubation of the trachea. Its function is to facilitate breathing, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly details a physical, hardware-based medical device (endotracheal tube) made of silicone and stainless steel, with no mention of software as a component or the primary function.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The ILM Endotracheal Tube is a device used for airway management by being inserted directly into the trachea. It is a physical device used within the body to maintain an open airway.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "airway management by oral intubation of the trachea." This is a direct intervention on the patient's anatomy, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The description of the device and its function aligns with a Class II or Class III medical device used for direct patient care, not an IVD.
