No
The summary describes a physical mesh device for bone reinforcement and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No.
The device is intended to reinforce bone, which is a structural or supportive function, not a therapeutic one (i.e., treating or curing a disease or condition).

No
The device, Exeter Mesh, is described as reinforcing bone and providing support, with no mention of detecting, monitoring, or diagnosing medical conditions. Its function is structural reinforcement, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical mesh available in different styles and includes screws for fixation, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Exeter Mesh Function: The description clearly states the Exeter Mesh is intended to "reinforce bone when additional strengthening and support is required." It is a physical implant used within the body to provide structural support.

The intended use and device description are consistent with a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
