No
The description focuses on the chemical and mechanical action of a wound cleansing solution, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a wound cleansing solution, which, while used in the treatment of wounds, does not itself provide a therapeutic effect. Its function is to cleanse, irrigate, moisten, and debride, supporting the healing process rather than directly treating the underlying condition.

No
The device is a wound cleanser, intended for cleansing, irrigating, moistening, and debriding wounds, which are therapeutic actions rather than diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "wound cleansing solution," which is a liquid substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for cleansing, irrigating, moistening, and debriding dermal lesions (wounds). This is a direct application to the body surface for therapeutic or cleansing purposes.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the intended use as a wound cleansing solution with a mechanical action for removing debris.
  • Lack of In Vitro Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a physiological state. IVDs are specifically designed for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).

The device is a wound care product applied directly to the wound, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.
