No
The device description explicitly states, "The Nutra Stim Hair Laser Comb does not use any software." It is described as a hand-held hardware device with a power supply, battery, control unit, and physical components like an enclosure and laser lens.
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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The Nutra Stim Hair Laser Comb is a device that applies laser light directly to the scalp to promote hair growth. It does not involve testing any samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to treat androgenetic alopecia and promote hair growth by interacting directly with the scalp.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Nutra Stim Hair Laser Comb is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
