No
The summary describes a simple mechanical device (pen needles) and explicitly states that AI, DNN, or ML were not found in the description.

No.
The needles are accessories for insulin injection which is a therapeutic treatment, but the needles themselves are delivery mechanisms, not therapeutic devices.

No
The device is a needle used for insulin injection, which is a treatment delivery method, not a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical, sterile, single-use hypodermic needle, which is a hardware component.

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 subcutaneous injection of insulin. This is a direct administration of a substance into the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a needle designed for injection. IVD devices are typically used for analyzing samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device is a delivery mechanism for a therapeutic substance.
