No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related technologies, and the described function is a basic heart rate monitor with alerts.

No
The device is described as a heart tachometer to be used before, during, and after exercise or at rest, with the ability to alert the user if presets are exceeded. This functionality aligns with monitoring rather than treating a disease or condition, which is characteristic of therapeutic devices.

No
The device is described as a Heart Tachometer for use during exercise and rest, which measures heart rate but does not appear to provide a medical diagnosis. The alerts for exceeded presets are warnings, not diagnostic outputs.

Unknown

The provided text does not contain a "Device Description" section, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only. Without this description, it's impossible to ascertain if the device includes any hardware components or relies solely on software for its intended function.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is focused on monitoring heart rate during and after exercise, at rest, and providing alerts based on preset limits. This is a physiological monitoring function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, etc.).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
    • Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition based on analysis of biological samples.

The device functions as a heart rate monitor, which falls under the category of physiological monitoring devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
