No
The device description and intended use are for standard gauze sponges, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or image processing.

No.
The device description indicates it is a gauze sponge, used for physical functions like absorbing fluids and protecting wounds, rather than treating a disease or condition therapeutically.

No
The device description states its intended use is for controlling bleeding, absorbing body fluids, and protecting wounds, which are therapeutic and protective functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is composed of USP Type VII gauze, indicating a physical, hardware-based medical device. There is no mention of software as the primary component or function.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "Control bleeding, absorb body fluids, and protect wounds from contamination." This describes a device used directly on or in the body for therapeutic or protective purposes, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical product (gauze sponges) made of a specific material (USP Type VII gauze) and available in different sizes and plies. This aligns with a medical device used externally or internally for wound care and fluid absorption.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis

Therefore, the Surgicade™ Non-Sterile Gauze Sponges are a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

VI. COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICES

Surgicade™ Non-Sterile Gauze Sponges are similar or identical in composition, function and intended use to legally marketed gauze sponges, such as Non-Sterile Gauze Sponges (Team Mfg., Inc.) and Lorrex Cover Sponges, Non-Sterile (Lorrex Health Products). All such devices are composed of absorbent gauze in various thicknesses and sizes, and have the same intended use.

Accordingly, Accunex Canada Inc. has concluded that the Surgicade™ Non-Sterile Gauze Sponges are safe and effective for their intended use and perform at least as well as legally marketed predicate devices, such as the Team Non-Sterile Gauze Sponges and I orrex Non-Sterile Cover Sponges.
