No

The device description clearly states it is a "Latex Finger Cot," which is a physical, hardware device. There is no mention of software functionality.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent contamination between patient and examiner by being worn on the examiner's finger. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: A finger cot is a physical barrier device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing a sample (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in a sample
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
