Invasive device [MDCG 2021-24]

MDCG

Any device which, in whole or in part, penetrates inside the body, either through a body orifice or through the surface of the body. A device that administers energy to the body should not be considered as invasive if only energy it emits penetrates the body and not the device itself.
