No
The summary describes a physical, disposable curette for tissue sampling and analysis, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as a curette used for obtaining tissue samples for diagnostic purposes (e.g., cancer screening, histological analysis), rather than for treating a disease or condition.

Yes
The device is used for obtaining tissue samples for histological analysis and for various diagnostic purposes such as cancer screening, endometrial dating, detecting pathology, and monitoring therapy.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "sterile, disposable curette," which is a physical medical instrument, not software.

Based on the provided information, the FemSpec, LLC, FemTest™ Endometrial Suction Curette is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) to collect tissue samples.
  • The device's function is to obtain the sample, not to analyze it. The analysis (histological analysis, bacterial culturing, etc.) is performed separately on the collected tissue.
  • The intended uses listed are clinical applications of the analysis of the collected tissue, not the device itself. The device is a tool for sample collection.

Therefore, the FemTest™ Endometrial Suction Curette is a medical device used for sample collection, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
