The device description and performance studies focus on material safety and mechanical properties, not computational capabilities. There is no mention of AI, ML, or data processing.

No.
The primary purpose of a therapeutic device is to treat or alleviate a medical condition. While this teether aims to "ease babies teething pain," which sounds therapeutic, its classification as a "Class II Fluid-Filled Teething Ring" and the numerous toy safety standards it meets (ASTM F963, 16 CFR 1500, EN 71, etc.) indicate it is regulated as a general consumer product for comfort rather than a medical device providing specific therapy. The predicate device also refers to a "WATER FILLED TEETHER," not a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as a "teether" designed to ease "babies teething pain" and is classified as a "Class II Fluid-Filled Teething Ring." Its purpose is to provide comfort, not to diagnose any condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Class II Fluid-Filled Teething Ring (Teether with waterfilled part)" and lists numerous physical and material standards it meets, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • MAM Twister Teether Function: The provided information clearly states the MAM Twister Teether is a physical device designed to be chewed on by babies to soothe teething pain. It is a Class II Fluid-Filled Teething Ring.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze biological samples or provide any diagnostic information about a baby's health. Its purpose is purely physical comfort and pain relief.
  • Relevant Standards: The standards listed (USP , ASTM F963, 16 CFR, CPSIA, EN 71) are related to the safety and physical properties of toys and consumer products, not diagnostic testing.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the MAM Twister Teether is a consumer product designed for physical comfort during teething, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
