More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a silicone sheet for scar management and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities, let alone AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the management of keloid and hypertrophic scars, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is a silicone sheet intended for the management of keloid and hypertrophic scars; it is not designed to diagnose any condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "thin, soft silicone sheet designed to be applied externally," indicating a physical, non-software component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the management of keloid and hypertrophic scars by applying a silicone sheet externally to healed scars. This is a topical, non-invasive treatment applied to the body's surface.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a thin, soft silicone sheet applied externally. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) which is the hallmark of an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on biological markers.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.
