No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a pen needle, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is an insulin pen needle, which is used for the subcutaneous injection of insulin. It is a delivery mechanism for a therapeutic substance (insulin), but it does not inherently provide therapy itself.

No.

The device is an insulin pen needle used for the subcutaneous injection of insulin, which is a delivery device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical, single-use needle designed for subcutaneous injection of insulin, with a safety feature on one type. It is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the subcutaneous injection of insulin. This is a direct administration of a substance into the body, not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a sample from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a needle designed for injection, with features related to size, length, and safety mechanisms for preventing needle sticks. This aligns with an injection device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical characteristics of the needle, safety mechanisms, and compliance with standards related to injection devices. There are no studies related to diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, etc.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to deliver insulin, which is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.
