More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a low air loss therapy bed and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

Yes

The device is indicated for pressure relief and pain management for patients with various medical conditions, including pressure sores, burns, amputations, arthritis, AIDS, and cancer. These indications fall under therapeutic uses.

No
The device is listed for therapy and pressure relief, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly identifies it as a "Low Air Loss Therapy Bed," which is a physical piece of medical equipment, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Apex Metal AirTec2 Low Air Loss Therapy Bed 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, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly indicate that the AirTec2 is a therapy bed designed for pressure relief and pain management for patients with various conditions. It is a physical device used externally on the patient, not a test performed on a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any analysis of biological samples, laboratory procedures, or diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the AirTec2 Low Air Loss Therapy Bed falls under the category of a medical device, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.
