Not Found

No
The device description details a chemical assay for measuring LDL-C, and there are no mentions of AI, ML, or image processing.

No
This device is for the quantitative determination of LDL-C in human serum or plasma, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It measures a substance in the body, but does not provide treatment or therapy.

Yes
The device is described as a "quantitative determination of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in human serum or plasma" which is a measurement used to diagnose or monitor conditions related to cholesterol levels.

No

The device description clearly outlines a chemical assay using reagents (detergent, sugar compound, enzymes) to measure LDL-C, indicating a hardware-based laboratory test, not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "For the direct, quantitative determination of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in human serum or plasma." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body (serum or plasma) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose or monitor a health condition (cholesterol levels).
  • Device Description: The description details a chemical process using reagents to analyze the sample. This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic test.

The information provided aligns perfectly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
