More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a surgical mesh and needle system for pelvic floor repair, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

Yes

The device is intended to treat ruptured connective tissue or reinforce weak soft tissues in the urological, gynecological, and gastroenterological anatomy, specifically in the pelvic floor, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device description states it consists of "needles and mesh used to repair the connective and soft tissue in the pelvic floor," which indicates a therapeutic or reparative function, not a diagnostic one. Its intended uses also focus on reinforcing or repairing tissues, not on identifying conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of "needles and mesh," which are physical hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used to reinforce soft tissues in the pelvic floor. This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body.
  • Device Description: The device consists of needles and mesh, which are physical components used for surgical repair.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is implanted within the body for structural support and repair.
