The device is a contact lens case used for storage during chemical disinfection, not for treating a medical condition or disease.

No
Explanation: The device is a contact lens case used for storage and disinfection, not for diagnosing medical conditions. The performance studies focus on safety (toxicity, irritation), not diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "moulded plastic" case, indicating it is a physical hardware device, 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 storage of contact lenses during chemical disinfection. This is a physical storage function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the human body.
  • Device Description: The device is a plastic case for holding contact lenses. This is a medical device, but not one used for in vitro diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This contact lens case does not perform any such function.
