No
The summary describes a standard tampon and its materials, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
No
The device is described as a tampon used for personal hygiene and absorption of menstrual or vaginal discharge, not for treating a disease or condition.
No
Explanation: The device is a tampon, intended for absorbing menstrual fluid and vaginal discharge. Its purpose is hygiene and absorption, not the diagnosis of a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly states the device is a physical tampon made of cotton, rayon, and other materials, with or without a plastic applicator. It is 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 "Women's personal hygiene with respect to intra vaginal absorption of menstrual or other vaginal discharge." This describes a physical absorption function for personal hygiene, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The device is a tampon made of absorbent materials. It does not contain reagents, test strips, or any components designed to detect or measure substances in a biological sample for diagnostic purposes.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing any kind of diagnostic information.
- Predicate Devices: The predicate devices are other tampons, which are also not IVDs.
IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This tampon does not fit that description.

Dear Mr. van Vugt:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
