No
The summary describes a menstrual tampon and its components, with no mention of AI or ML technology. The performance studies focus on biocompatibility and absorbency, not algorithmic performance.
No.
The device is described as a tampon used to absorb menstrual or other vaginal discharge, which is not considered a therapeutic function. Therapeutic devices are typically used to treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent disease.
No.
The device description states its use is to "absorb menstrual or other vaginal discharge," which is a treatment/management function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical product (tampons) made from materials like rayon, cotton, and polymeric overwrap, and includes performance studies related to biocompatibility and absorbency, which are characteristic of hardware devices.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to absorb menstrual or other vaginal discharge by being inserted into the vagina. This is a physical function within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description focuses on the materials and construction of a tampon for absorption. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting specific analytes (proteins, DNA, pathogens, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
The device is clearly described as a menstrual tampon, which is a medical device used for absorption, not diagnosis.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Biocompatibility testing and sufety evaluations of tampon components were historically carried out. The results of these tests demonstrate that these Tamports we coulisabled in tenns of safety and effectiveness to legally marketed tampons. Stardard Syngina testing confirmed the absorbency of these Tampons. In addition to the review of existing toxicological data in the public literature, the following tests were conducted and are relevant to the safety of Rostam plastic biodegradable applicator tampons.
Cytotoxicity, rabbit vaginal irritation assays with saline and cottonseed oil, rabbit skin irritation ussays with saline and cottonseed oil were carried out to substantiate artis the biodegradable applicator.
