No
The summary describes a mechanical device (catheter) for removing emboli and thrombi and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

Yes
The device is indicated for the removal of arterial emboli and thrombi, which is a treatment for a medical condition.

No
The device is described as an "Embolectomy Catheter" indicated for "removal of arterial emboli and thrombi," which suggests a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device is described as an "Embolectomy Catheter," which is a physical medical device used for removing emboli and thrombi. The summary does not mention any software component.

Based on the provided information, the LeMaitre Embolectomy Catheter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is the "removal of arterial emboli and thrombi." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body (in vivo).
  • 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. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any testing of samples, analysis of biological markers, or diagnostic purposes. The device is a physical tool for removing blockages within arteries.

Therefore, the LeMaitre Embolectomy Catheter is a medical device used for a therapeutic intervention, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
