No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical properties of the gel forming a protective layer. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.

Yes.
The device is indicated for pain relief and forms a protective film over lesions, which are therapeutic actions.

No
The device description indicates it is an oral gel for pain relief and protection in mouth lesions, not for diagnosing them. It forms a protective film and provides relief, which are therapeutic functions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "viscous gel formulation" and a "combination of substances," indicating it is a physical product, 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 pain relief in mouth lesions by forming a protective film. This is a therapeutic or protective function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the gel and how it forms a protective layer. It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples (like saliva, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed (Aloclair Oral Rinse and Gelclair Concentrated Oral Gel) are also products for oral care and protection, not IVDs.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.
