More Information

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on standard pump functionality and interoperability with external automated insulin dosing software, not AI/ML within the pump itself.

Yes
The device is intended for the management of diabetes mellitus by delivering insulin, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

This device is an insulin pump designed for therapeutic delivery of insulin, not for diagnosing a medical condition. While it can receive data from a CGM, its primary function is treatment.

No

The device description clearly states that the system includes a physical insulin pump ("Tandem Mobi insulin pump with interoperable technology") which is a hardware component responsible for delivering insulin. While the system also includes a mobile app for control, the core medical device function is performed by the hardware pump.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is the subcutaneous delivery of insulin for the management of diabetes. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an infusion pump that delivers insulin. While it can communicate with devices that might provide diagnostic data (like a CGM), its primary function is to administer a substance to the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device performing any tests on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, etc.) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a physiological state.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This insulin pump does not fit that description.
