More Information

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (a pessary) with a material change, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate the use of such technologies.

Yes

The device is intended to treat involuntary urine loss (stress urinary incontinence), which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: This device, the uresta™ Pessary, is intended to treat stress urinary incontinence by providing support, not to diagnose the condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Pessary," which is a physical, non-software medical device. The modification mentioned is a change in the manufacturing material, not a change to a software-only format.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to address involuntary urine loss with physical activity (stress urinary incontinence) in adult women. This is a physical condition, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a pessary, which is a physical device inserted into the vagina. It's described as being made of a thermoplastic elastomer rubber. This is a physical device, not a reagent or instrument used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions based on sample analysis.

The device is a therapeutic device used to physically support the pelvic organs and help manage stress urinary incontinence.
