No
The device description details a simple chemical reaction for heating and there is no mention of AI or ML terms or concepts.

No.
This device is for warming the heel site of an infant prior to a heel stick procedure to enhance vasodilation and increase blood flow for sampling. It does not treat or prevent any disease or condition, which is the primary characteristic of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as a warmer used to enhance vasodilation and increase blood flow for blood sampling, which is a preparation step for a medical procedure, not a diagnostic act itself. It doesn't analyze or process data to determine a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product made of sodium acetate, water, a stainless steel disc, and a laminate bag, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Recover® Infant Heel Warmer is a device that applies heat externally to the infant's heel. Its purpose is to improve blood flow before a sample is taken, not to analyze the sample itself.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "warming the heel site of an infant prior to a heel stick procedure." This is a preparatory step for a diagnostic procedure (the blood draw and subsequent analysis), but the warmer itself is not performing the diagnostic test.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Recover® Infant Heel Warmer is a medical device, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.
