No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of air flow and pressure reduction, with no mention of AI/ML terms or capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended for the "prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers," which directly addresses a health condition.

No
The device description and intended use indicate its function is for prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers through air flotation and pressure reduction, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "powered air flotation mattress" which is a hardware component, not software only.

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 prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers." This is a therapeutic and preventative use related to a physical condition, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "powered air flotation mattress." This is a physical device used externally on a patient, not a reagent, instrument, or system intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

In summary, the PressureGuard Low Air Loss Mattress System is a medical device used for patient care and treatment, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
