The device description clearly outlines physical components made of woven polyester, polyester mesh, straps, and foam, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Double Support Poncho and Slider Poncho are described as physical restraints and posture support devices worn on the upper body. They are used externally on the patient and are not involved in analyzing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for restraint and posture support, not for diagnostic testing of biological specimens.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a physical support or restraint device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

The use of all patient restraints in nursing homes are subject to Health Care Financing Administration's Regulations which prohibit the use of any restraint, physical or chemical, imposed for the purpose of discipline or convenience. Further, most health care facilities are accredited. HCFA rules governing appropriate use and accreditation standards for device use and personnel training provide the control necessary to ensure that the devices are used correctly. The application of these standards along with public awareness and health care provider training have contributed significantly to ensuring that the least restrictive restraint is used, that restraints are used only when needed for proper medical treatment, and that their use is under appropriate supervision.
