No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and absorbency of tampons, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
The device is described as a menstrual tampon used to absorb menstrual or other vaginal discharge, which is a hygienic product, not a therapeutic device intended to treat or prevent a disease or condition.

No

The device is a menstrual tampon designed to absorb fluid, not to diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a physical tampon made of rayon, cotton, and fragrance, and the performance studies focus on biocompatibility and absorbency of this physical product. There is no mention of software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to absorb menstrual or other vaginal discharge, which is a physical function within the body, not an in vitro test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of a tampon designed for absorption.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information. The performance studies focus on biocompatibility and absorbency, not diagnostic accuracy.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.
