No
The device description focuses on the physical components and surgical placement of a synthetic sling for treating stress urinary incontinence. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The text explicitly states that the devices are "indicated for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI)". Treatment implies a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device described is a surgical implant (sling system) used for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, not for diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description clearly details physical, implantable components (slings made of polypropylene) and surgical instruments (introducers made of polycarbonate and stainless steel). There is no mention of software as a component of the device.
Based on the provided information, no, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is for the surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. This involves a physical intervention (implanting a sling) to address a medical condition.
- Device Description: The device is described as an implantable surgical sling made of synthetic material, along with introducer instruments for placement. This is a surgical device, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) or to provide information about a patient's health status through in vitro analysis.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biocompatibility and bench testing related to the physical properties and placement of the sling, not on diagnostic accuracy or performance.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.
