No
The summary describes a fecal management system and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

No
The device is for fecal management and does not appear to provide any therapeutic benefit or treatment for a disease or condition. Its purpose is management, not therapy.

No
The device is described as a "Fecal Management System" for managing fecal incontinence in specific patient populations. Its intended use focuses on containment and management, not on identifying, analyzing, or diagnosing a medical condition. The performance study mentioned only covers biocompatibility, not diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device description and performance studies clearly indicate a physical system (Fecal Management System) that undergoes biocompatibility testing, which is relevant to hardware components, 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 for the "fecal management of patients with little or no bowel control and for patients whose stool is semi-liquid or liquid." This describes a device used on the patient to manage a bodily function, not a device used to test a sample in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description "ConvaTec Fecal Management System" further supports the idea of a device used for managing fecal output, not for diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific substances (analytes)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition

The performance studies mentioned focus on biocompatibility, which is relevant for devices that come into contact with the body, not for diagnostic tests.

Therefore, this device is a medical device used for patient management, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
