No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a simple physical barrier made of plastic, with no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as an "infection control barrier" intended to "reduce gross contamination and provide equipment surface protection." It does not directly treat or diagnose any medical condition.

No

The device is an infection control barrier, which is a physical cover for equipment to reduce contamination, not a tool to diagnose diseases or conditions.

No

The device is described as a physical, disposable plastic barrier, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "single use, transparent plastic, disposable, nonsterile barrier that will help reduce gross contamination and provide equipment surface protection for devices used within the dental/ clinical treatment setting." This describes a physical barrier for equipment, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by calling it a "single use, disposable, transparent, polyethylene plastic equipment cover."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays

The Brixton Infection Control Barrier is a medical device, specifically a barrier device intended to prevent contamination of equipment surfaces. It does not perform any in vitro diagnostic testing.
