No

The device description clearly states it is an injection molded, single use, non-sterile, disposable sharps disposal container, which is a physical hardware product.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the disposal of medical sharps. This is a physical containment and disposal function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a container for holding sharps. It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition
    • Using reagents or other substances to perform a test

This device is a medical device, specifically a sharps disposal container, but it falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.
