No

The device description explicitly states "HOSPITAL BED," which is a hardware device. The intended use also describes "SLEEPING SURFACES," further indicating a physical product. There is no mention of software as the primary component or function.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "PROVIDE SUPPORT & COMFORT" to residents in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. This is a physical support function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "HOSPITAL BED." Beds are medical devices, but they are not typically used for in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device's function is purely physical support and comfort.
