No
The device description and intended use describe a physical silicone dressing for scar management, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The intended use explicitly states management of scars and prophylactic therapy to prevent scarring, both of which are therapeutic actions.
No
The Mepiform Adherent Silicone Dressing is intended for the management and prevention of scars, making it a therapeutic device rather than a diagnostic one. It does not identify or detect diseases or conditions.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical dressing made of silicone, nonwoven material, and adhesive film, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software.
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 and prevention of scars on the skin. This is a therapeutic and prophylactic use applied directly to the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a dressing applied to the skin. It does not involve any reagents, instruments, or procedures for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.
Therefore, the Mepiform Adherent Silicone Dressing is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
