No
The summary describes a standard intermittent catheter and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device, a catheter for urethral or intermittent catheterization, is used for diagnostic or supportive purposes rather than directly treating a medical condition or disease.

No
The provided text states the device is intended for urethral or intermittent catheterization, which is a therapeutic or interventional procedure, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with specific dimensions and materials, indicating it is a hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "urethral or intermittent catheterization." This is a procedure performed on the body to drain urine, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into the urethra. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. There is no mention of diagnosing, monitoring, or screening for diseases or conditions based on the analysis of such samples.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a medical device used for a therapeutic or procedural purpose (draining urine).
