No
The summary describes a surgical mesh for hernia repair and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The statement "The intended use of the Kugel Hernia Patch™ is a surgical mesh for hernia repair" indicates it is used for treatment, which classifies it as a therapeutic device.

No
The device is a surgical mesh for hernia repair, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "surgical mesh," which is a physical hardware component, not software. The performance studies also focus on hardware-related testing like biocompatibility and sterility.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "a surgical mesh for hernia repair." This is a device used in vivo (within the body) during a surgical procedure.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "surgical mesh for reinforcement of a hernia defect." Again, this describes a physical implant used during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This description contains none of these elements. There's no mention of analyzing samples, diagnostic information, or laboratory testing.

The Kugel Hernia Patch™ is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
