More Information

No
The summary describes a sterile gauze sponge made of cotton, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

No
This device, gauze sponges, is used for absorption and wound care, which are supportive functions and do not directly treat a disease or condition.

No
The device, DeGasa Sterile USP Gauze Sponges, is described as sterile gauze used in a hospital setting. Its intended use is for situations where sterile gauze is required, which points to a treatment or care role rather than diagnosis. Diagnostic devices are typically used to identify diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product made of cotton (gauze sponges), not software.

Based on the provided information, the DeGasa Sterile USP Gauze Sponges are not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for absorbing fluids and protecting wounds in a hospital setting. This is a direct application to the body or for wound care, not for examining specimens in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical composition and form of the gauze, which is a medical device used for wound care and absorption. It doesn't describe a device designed to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in specimens
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status

Gauze sponges are considered general medical devices used for wound management and absorption, not for diagnostic testing.
