No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of the mattress system and does not mention any AI or ML components.

Yes
The device is indicated for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers, which implies a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device description indicates its use for prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers by providing a continuous flow of air to achieve pressure reduction, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "powered air flotation mattress system," which 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 prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers, which is a physical condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a powered air flotation mattress that provides pressure reduction. This is a mechanical/physical intervention.
  • 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 or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions based on analysis of biological samples.

The device is clearly designed to interact with the patient's body externally to manage pressure, not to perform diagnostic tests on biological samples.
