Yes.
The device is an acupuncture needle intended to pierce the skin for acupuncture, which is a therapeutic practice.

No
The document describes an acupuncture needle, which is intended to pierce the skin for treatment, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a solid, titanium needle, which is a physical 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 to "pierce the skin in the practice of acupuncture." This is a direct therapeutic intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "solid, titanium needle." This is a physical tool used for a procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.

Therefore, this acupuncture needle falls under the category of a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
