Explanation: The device is described as a menstrual tampon for fluid absorption, which is a therapeutic or hygienic device, not one used for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical product (menstrual tampons) and the performance studies focus on biological and chemical testing, not software validation.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. They are used to diagnose diseases, conditions, or determine the state of health. Examples include blood tests, urine tests, and tissue biopsies.
- This device is a menstrual tampon. Its intended use is the absorption of menstrual fluid within the vaginal canal. It does not involve the examination of a specimen to provide diagnostic information.
The information provided clearly describes a medical device used for absorption, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Performance Data:
Human sensitization, dermal irritation, acute oral toxicity, subacute vaginal irritation, cytotoxicity, extraction, and TSST-1 toxin testing indicate that the modified device meets all device input requirements.
Conclusions:
The modified Playtex tampons are substantially equivalent to the predicate tampons.
