No
The summary describes a surgical mesh and associated tools, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest AI/ML.

No.
The device is an implantable mesh system intended to reinforce soft tissues and repair connective tissue, not to provide therapy.

No
The provided text describes a medical device called the "AMS Pelvic Floor Repair System" and its components (PFR Sling System). Its intended use is for reinforcing soft tissues and repairing connective tissue in various anatomical areas, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "sterile, single use procedure kit that consists of stainless steel, curved needle passers and an implantable mesh assembly," indicating it is a hardware device with physical components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use of the AMS Pelvic Floor Repair System clearly indicate it is an implantable surgical device used to reinforce soft tissues within the body. It is used during surgical procedures, not for testing specimens outside the body.

The device's function is to provide structural support within the pelvic floor, which is a completely different purpose than an IVD.
