No
The summary describes a calibrator for an immunoassay system, which is a chemical reagent used for calibration, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any other section.

No
The device is a calibrator for an immunoassay system, used to ensure the accuracy of Free Thyroxine (FT4) measurements, not to treat a condition or provide therapy.

No
The device is a calibrator for an immunoassay system, used to calibrate the Free Thyroxine (FT4) Method. Calibrators are used to ensure the accuracy of a diagnostic test, but they are not diagnostic devices themselves; they are reagents used in diagnostic testing.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "lyophilized human serum-based product," indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for "calibrating the Free Thyroxine (FT4) Method" on an "immunoassay system." Immunoassays are laboratory tests performed in vitro (outside the body) to measure substances in biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description mentions it's a "lyophilized human serum-based product." Serum is a biological sample.
  • Function: Calibrators are essential components of many in vitro diagnostic tests. They are used to establish a standard curve or reference point for accurate measurement of the analyte (in this case, FT4) in patient samples.

Therefore, based on its intended use and description, this device fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.
