More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use describe a physical silicone gel product for scar management, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for the management of keloid and hypertrophic scars and for prophylactic use to retard their formation, which are therapeutic applications.

No
Gelzone is a silicone gel sheeting used for the management and prevention of scars. Its function is to treat and prevent scar formation, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical silicone gel product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the management and prevention of keloid and hypertrophic scars. This is a therapeutic and prophylactic use applied directly to the body, not for testing samples taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a silicone gel sheet applied externally. This is consistent with a topical medical device, not an IVD which typically involves reagents, instruments, and software for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing diagnostic or prognostic information based on sample analysis

Therefore, Gelzone is a medical device, but it falls under a different regulatory category than In Vitro Diagnostics.
