No
The description focuses on the mechanical action and physical properties of the gel wafer, with no mention of AI or ML terms or functionalities.

Yes.
The device is indicated for the management and relief of pain associated with oral lesions of various etiologies, including oral mucositis/stomatitis, irritation due to oral surgery, traumatic ulcers, and diffuse aphthous ulcers, thereby providing a therapeutic effect.

No
The device is described as having a mechanical action to relieve pain by adhering to the mucosal surface and forming a protective layer, rather than diagnosing a condition. Its intended use is for management and relief of pain, not diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "compressed powder, presented as 2200 mg slow dissolving wafer," which 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 describes a mechanical action to manage and relieve pain by adhering to the oral mucosa and soothing lesions. This is a direct interaction with the body for therapeutic purposes.
  • Device Description: The device is a slow-dissolving wafer that forms a protective layer in the mouth. This is a physical barrier and not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a condition, monitor a disease, or screen for a health issue.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed (Gelclair™ and RadiaCare ™ Oral Wound Rinse) are also products used directly in the mouth for therapeutic or protective purposes, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device does not fit that description.
