The summary describes a simple menstrual tampon and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.
No
The device, unscented menstrual tampons, is described for the absorption of menstrual fluid. This function is for hygiene and containment, not for treating, mitigating, or preventing a disease or condition, which are characteristics of a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as an unscented menstrual tampon for absorption of menstrual fluid, which is a therapeutic/management device, not a diagnostic one. The performance studies and key metrics listed do not involve diagnostic capabilities.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical product (tampons) for absorption of menstrual fluid, with performance studies focused on material safety and toxicity, not software functionality.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "Unscented menstrual tampons for absorption of menstrual fluid." This describes a physical device used for absorption within the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Device Description: The description reinforces the intended use as a physical absorbent device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances
- Providing diagnostic or monitoring information
- Using reagents or test kits
The performance studies mentioned (Dioxin analysis, dermal irritation, toxicity, etc.) are related to the safety and biocompatibility of the device for its intended physical use, not its performance as a diagnostic test.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device, but specifically not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
