More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard electric breast pump and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is intended to express milk from the breast of lactating women to meet a physiological need, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device's intended use is to express milk, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electric powered device," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just 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 (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device function: The description clearly states the device is used to "express milk from the breast of lactating women." This is a physical process of extracting a bodily fluid, not a test performed on a sample of that fluid to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Lack of diagnostic testing: There is no mention of analyzing the milk for any diagnostic purpose. The device's function is solely to collect the milk.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Simplisse Electric Breastfeeding Companion is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.
