The description focuses on the electrical and physical principles of iontophoresis and does not mention any AI/ML components or functions.

Yes
The device is described as an "Iontophoretic Drug Delivery System" intended to "introduce ions of soluble salts or other drugs into the body for medical purposes," which directly aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as an "Iontophoretic Drug Delivery System" intended to introduce drugs into the body, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "active; self-contained Iontophoretic Drug Delivery System" with an "Integrated battery mechanism within the butterfly-designed soft electrode," indicating it is a hardware device with integrated components for drug delivery.

Based on the provided information, the E-STRIP device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used to "introduce ions of soluble salts or other drugs into the body for medical purposes." This describes a therapeutic or drug delivery function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanism of delivering substances into the body via iontophoresis. It doesn't mention analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific analytes
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

The E-STRIP is a drug delivery device, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.
