No
The document describes a physical medical device (a punctal plug) and its intended use, without any mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the presence of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".
Yes
The device is intended to relieve dry eye symptoms and is used in the treatment of dry eye syndrome and other ocular surface diseases, which are therapeutic applications.
No
Explanation: The device description states its purpose is to block tear drainage, and the intended use describes it as a treatment for dry eye symptoms and conditions, not for diagnosing them.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical punctal plug molded from medical grade silicone, which is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to physically block the punctum to treat dry eye symptoms and related conditions. This is a physical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a physical plug made of silicone designed for insertion into the punctal opening. It does not involve any reagents, assays, or analysis of biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Silicone Punctal Plug is intended for use in patients experiencing dry eye symptoms such as redness, burning, reflex tearing, itching or foreign body sensations which can be relieved by blockage of the punctum
Silicone Punctal Plug may be used in the treatment of dry eye syndrome and the dry eye components of various ocular surface diseases such as corneal ulcers, conjunctivitis, pyterygium, blepharitis, keratitis, red lid margins, recurrent chalazions, recurrent corneal erosion, filamentry keratitis and other external eye diseases.
Other patients that may benefit are: cataract patients with arthritis, patients medicated for hypertension, contact wearers of any age, seasonal allergy sufferers, patients who live in dry climates, or spend extended periods in air conditioning, and any others who suffer from dry eye irritation. It is also reasonable that eye drops of many kinds would be more effective if retained on the surface of the eye, rather than drained into the sinus.
