No
The device is a simple surgical blade accessory and the summary contains no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a dermatome blade used for harvesting skin for grafting, which is a surgical procedure. While grafting can be part of a therapeutic process, the blade itself is a surgical instrument and not a device that directly performs a therapeutic function on its own.

No
Explanation: The device, a dermatome blade, is used to harvest skin for grafting. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic one. It does not identify a disease, condition, or risk factor.

No

The device is a physical blade made of stainless steel, intended for use with a dermatome. It is described as a hardware accessory.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to harvest a split thickness of skin from a donor site for grafting. This is a surgical procedure performed on a living patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical blade used with a dermatome, which is a surgical instrument.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.
