No
The device description and summary of performance studies focus on basic mechanical and design features of a urine collection bag. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven analysis of the urine. The "Hue-Vu™ color strip label" is a simple visual comparison tool, not an AI/ML system.
No
The device is a urine collection bag, which is a passive receptacle for waste and does not actively treat or diagnose a medical condition. Its function is containment, not therapy.
No
Explanation: The device is a urinary drainage bag for collecting urine. While it has a color strip for visual comparison of urine color, its primary function is collection, not diagnosis. It does not analyze or interpret medical data for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical urinary drainage bag made of vinyl with various hardware components like a hanging hook, sampling port, anti-reflux valve, and a vent. It is not solely software.
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, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Welcon Hue-Vu™ Urinary Drainage Bag is a collection device for urine. Its primary function is to hold urine that has been drained from the body via a catheter.
- Lack of Diagnostic Testing: While the bag has a color strip for comparing and recording urine color, this is a visual comparison and not a diagnostic test performed on the urine itself to detect specific substances or conditions. It's a tool for observation, not a diagnostic assay.
- Intended Use: The intended use is "for the collection of urine when used with an indwelling catheter." This clearly describes a collection function, not a diagnostic one.
The device is a medical device, specifically a urine collection system, but it does not perform in vitro diagnostic testing.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The drainage bag is indicated for collection of urine when used with an indwelling catheter.
