No
The device description and intended uses are purely related to a physical silicone sheeting material for surgical applications. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the presence of AI/ML.

Yes

The device is intended to treat or manage various medical conditions and facilitate physiological processes like neural regeneration and osteogenesis.

No

The AART Silicone Sheeting is described as a medical grade silicone elastomer intended for various surgical and non-surgical applications, such as wound dressing, nasal splinting, and reconstruction. Its purpose is to facilitate healing, protect tissues, or provide structural support, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states it is manufactured from a medical grade silicone elastomer and is a physical sheeting product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • 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.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The AART Silicone Sheeting is described as a medical grade silicone elastomer intended for various surgical and non-surgical applications within the body or on the surface of the body (like wound dressing). Its intended uses involve physical placement and structural support, not the analysis of biological samples.

The device is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than in vitro diagnostics.

§ 874.3620 Ear, nose, and throat synthetic polymer material.

(a)
Identification. Ear, nose, and throat synthetic polymer material is a device material that is intended to be implanted for use as a space-occupying substance in the reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. The device is used, for example, in augmentation rhinoplasty and in tissue defect closures in the esophagus. The device is shaped and formed by the suregon to conform to the patient's needs. This generic type of device is made of material such as polyamide mesh or foil and porous polyethylene.(b)
Classification. Class II.
