The device description and intended use focus on a physical saliva absorption device, and there are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML technologies.
No
The device is described as a saliva absorber/collector used for general absorption and removal of excessive saliva, not for treating a specific medical condition or disease.
No
The device is described as a 'SALIVA ABSORBER/COLLECTOR' used for the removal of excessive saliva, which is a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one. It does not state that it is used to identify or analyze a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly indicates a physical product ("SIMPLEX™ SALIVA ABSORBER/COLLECTOR") used for the absorption and removal of saliva, which is a hardware function. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is focused on the physical absorption, collection, and removal of saliva from the mouth during dental procedures and in other situations where excessive saliva is present. This is a mechanical function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is described as a "SALIVA ABSORBER/COLLECTOR," which aligns with its mechanical function.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze saliva for diagnostic purposes (e.g., detecting biomarkers, identifying pathogens). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- No Mention of IVD-Related Information: The provided text lacks any information typically associated with IVDs, such as performance studies related to diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, etc.
Therefore, the SIMPLEX™ SALIVA ABSORBER/COLLECTOR is a medical device used for saliva management, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
General Usage: For the absorption/Collection and removal of excessive saliva during dental procedures. For the absorption/Collection and removal of saliva when excessive saliva is seen collecting in the mouth. For the absorption/Collection and removal of saliva in General Pediatric Use. For the absorption/Collection and removal of saliva whenever a potential choking hazard exists with commonly used saliva absorbers. For the absorption and removal of saliva when typical "suction" type devices are not appropriate or effective. ... For the collection of saliva when other absorber devices or suction devices are not appropriate or tolerated easily by the patient.
