The device is described as a disposable barrier for dental instruments and equipment, functioning as a physical barrier to augment infection control techniques and facilitate cleanup. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical barrier made of polyethylene film, intended to cover dental instruments. It is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Minitube Dentasleeve Protective Barrier Sleeves are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to serve as a disposable barrier for dental instruments and equipment. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material (polyethylene film), how it's used (slips over instruments), and its function (physical barrier, facilitates cleanup). There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

The device is clearly intended for infection control and hygiene in a dental setting by providing a physical barrier. This falls under the category of general medical devices, not IVDs.
