The device description and performance studies focus on material properties and absorbency, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
Explanation: The device is a tampon, which is used for absorbing menstrual or other vaginal discharge and is not intended to treat or cure any medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device, First Quality Hygienic Plastic Applicator Tampons, is described as a product used to absorb menstrual or other vaginal discharge. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose any disease, condition, or state of being. The performance studies focus on safety and absorbency, not diagnostic capabilities.
No
The device is a physical product (tampons) made of rayon and cotton, 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 to absorb menstrual or other vaginal discharge by being inserted into the vagina. This is a physical function within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the materials and function of a tampon for absorption.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.
- Anatomical Site: The device is used within the vagina, which is a direct interaction with the body, not a test on a sample.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-Clinical Testing: Biocompatibility testing and safety evaluations of tampon components were historically carried out. The results of these tests demonstrate that these Tampons are equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to legally marketed tampons. Standard Syngyna testing confirmed the absorbency of these Tampons. In addition to the review of existing toxicological data in the public literature, the following tests of raw materials were historically conducted and are relevant to the safety of First Quality Hygienic plastic applicator tampons.
- ◇ irritation testing
- 0 sensitization testing
- 0 acute oral toxicity
- eve irritation testing
