No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical silicone implant for facial augmentation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

No.
The device is used for cosmetic augmentation or reconstruction of cheek areas, which does not constitute a therapeutic purpose in the medical sense of treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as an implant for augmentation or reconstruction, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a physical implant made from silicone elastomer, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The AART Malar Implant is a physical implant made of silicone elastomer that is surgically placed inside the body for augmentation or reconstruction of the cheek areas. It does not perform any tests on bodily samples.

The intended use and device description clearly indicate that this is a surgically implanted device, not a diagnostic test performed in a lab.
