No
The description mentions a "microprocessor controlled pneumatic compression device" with "pre-programmed" treatment programs. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any adaptive or learning capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended for use in treating various medical conditions, such as lymphedema, edema, and venous insufficiencies, and is used by medical professionals and patients under medical supervision.

No
The device description states that the biotouch™ device is a "microprocessor controlled pneumatic compression device that applies calibrated sequentially graduated pressure to the arm, leg, trunk, and/or chest" for treating conditions like lymphedema, not for diagnosing them.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "microprocessor controlled pneumatic compression device" with a "lightweight, portable pneumatic controller" and "extremity garments composed of 4 to 16 chambers," indicating it is a hardware device with software control, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used for treating various conditions like lymphedema and edema by applying pneumatic compression. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a pneumatic compression device that applies pressure to the body. This aligns with a physical therapy or rehabilitation device, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

Therefore, the biotouch™ device falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
