The device description clearly states that the Ice Baton is a physical, suppository-shaped medical device made of an applicator cover and applicator, which is filled with water and frozen. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Ice Baton's Function: The Ice Baton is a physical device applied externally to the body (to the hemorrhoid area) to provide pain relief through cryotherapy (cold therapy). It does not analyze any bodily specimens.

The description clearly states its intended use is for pain relief and discomfort, and its mechanism of action is based on applying cold to the affected area. This aligns with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
