The device description focuses on the mechanical components and delivery system of a stent, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes.
The device is indicated for the palliation of malignant strictures in the biliary tree, which is a medical intervention intended to alleviate symptoms and improve the patient's condition.
No
This device is a stent system used for the palliation of malignant strictures, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly details physical components such as a stent made of stainless steel, a delivery catheter, a balloon, and a guide wire lumen. These are hardware components, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that the RX HERCULINK™ 14 Biliary Stent System is a device designed to be placed percutaneously into the common bile duct. This means it is an implantable medical device used inside the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "palliation of malignant strictures in the biliary tree," which is a therapeutic intervention performed within the body.
The device is a therapeutic device used for treatment within the body, not a diagnostic device used for testing samples outside the body.

Device Description
The RX HERCULINK™ 14 Biliary Stent System is a balloon-expandable stent premounted onto a rapid exchange (RX) delivery catheter designed to be placed percutaneously into the common bile duct and intended to treat malignant strictures in the biliary tree. The stent is fabricated from a single piece of 316L medical grade stainless steel tubing. The stent is pre-mounted onto an RX delivery catheter with an integrated shaft system and an XCELON™ balloon bonded at the distal end. The shaft has a combination of a single lumen design at the proximal end and a coaxial lumen at the distal end. The proximal lumen provides for inflation of the balloon with contrast medium. The distal lumen permits use of a guide wire to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis to be dilated. The balloon, which has 2 radiopaque markers to aid in positioning the balloon in the stenosis, is designed to provide an expandable segment of known diameter and length at specific pressures. The proximal end of the catheter has a single arm adapter that provides access to the inflation lumen. It is designed with a luer-lock fitting for connection with an inflation device. The RX HERCULINK™ Biliary Stent System consists of either a 13 mm or 18 mm length stent pre-mounted onto a 75 cm length delivery catheter with balloon diameters ranging from 4 - 7 mm depending on stent length. The RX HERCULINK™ 14 Biliary Stent System is intended to be delivered and deployed in the biliary tree.
