More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (a pessary) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as providing vaginal support to prevent the uterus from descending and designed to ease uterine prolapse, which are therapeutic actions.

No
Explanation: The device is a pessary, a physical support device used to treat uterine prolapse and stress incontinence. Its function is to provide support and correct physical displacements, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical ring pessary made from PVC or Polythene, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide physical support within the vagina to prevent uterine descent and correct uterine displacements. This is a mechanical function performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical ring made from PVC or Polythene, designed for insertion into the vagina.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) or to provide information about a patient's health status through in vitro testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.
