No

The device description clearly indicates a physical container designed to store and dispense insulin pen needles and act as a sharps container, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to transport, store, dispense, and safely dispose of insulin pen needles. This is a physical device for handling medical supplies, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical container and its function in managing pen needles. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

The device is a medical device, specifically a sharps container and dispenser, but it falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.
