The summary describes a simple collection and transport system with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is used for collection and transportation of samples for microbiological examination, not for treating any condition.
No
The device is described as a "collection and transport system" for "microbiological examination." It is used to collect samples to be sent to a laboratory, but it does not perform any diagnostic analysis itself.
No
The device description clearly states it is comprised of a physical swab and plastic sleeve, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the REMEL Bacti-Swab™ Dry collection and transport system is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's "for use in collection and transportation of a variety of samples to the laboratory for microbiological examination". This clearly indicates the device is used to collect samples that will be tested in vitro (outside the body) for diagnostic purposes (microbiological examination).
- Care Setting: The intended user is the "laboratory", which is where in vitro diagnostic testing is performed.
While the device itself is a simple collection and transport system, its intended use is directly linked to subsequent in vitro diagnostic procedures. Therefore, it falls under the definition of an IVD device.
