No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical surgical sling for treating urinary stress incontinence. There is no mention of software, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.
Yes
The device is used for the treatment of a medical condition (urinary stress incontinence), which is a characteristic of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "sling in transvaginal sling procedures for the treatment of urinary stress incontinence" and a "knitted patch fabric." Its intended use is for treatment, not diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "knitted patch fabric," which is a physical hardware component, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of urinary stress incontinence through a surgical procedure (transvaginal sling). This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
- Device Description: The device is a knitted patch fabric used as a sling. This is a physical implant, not a reagent, instrument, or system used to examine specimens from the human body.
- 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 samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening
The TriAngle Sling is a surgical implant used for treatment, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.
