No
The description focuses on data management and standard statistical/graphical tools, with no mention of AI or ML terms or concepts.

No
The device is described as software and a connecting cable used for data management of blood glucose results, not for directly treating or diagnosing a medical condition.

No
The device is described as software that provides "data management of patient blood glucose results and uses standard statistical and graphical tools/techniques to facilitate the review of the data." It transfers data from blood glucose monitoring systems and helps in reviewing the data, but it does not independently diagnose conditions or make diagnostic interpretations.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device consists of a CD and a connecting cable, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Ascensia "Glucofacts and the Ascensia WinGlucofacts Professional software are not IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the software is an accessory to blood glucose monitoring systems and is used for data transfer and management of blood glucose results. It facilitates the review of data.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's software and a cable used with a blood glucose meter and PC for data management and analysis using statistical and graphical tools.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The software itself does not perform any diagnostic test on a biological sample. It processes and presents data that was generated by an IVD (the blood glucose meter).

IVDs are devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or congenital abnormality, or to determine the compatibility of transplant tissues, organs, or blood.

This software is a tool for managing and analyzing data from an IVD, but it is not an IVD itself.
