No
The provided text describes a cytology brush, a physical tool for collecting cell samples. There is no mention of software, image processing, AI, or ML.

No
The device is used to collect cell samples for diagnostic purposes, not to treat a disease or condition.

No
The device is used to collect cell samples for further analysis, but it does not perform the diagnosis itself. Its function is sample collection, which is a precursor to diagnosis.

No

The intended use describes a physical device (cytology brush) used with an endoscope to collect cell samples, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Horizons Cytology Brush is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "collect cell sampling, or to perform surveillance cultures" using a flexible endoscope. This describes a device used to collect biological samples from within the body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body (in vitro means "in glass" or "in the lab").

The Horizons Cytology Brush is a tool for sample collection, which is a step that might precede an IVD test, but the brush itself is not performing the diagnostic test. It's a medical device used for obtaining the sample.
