Unknown
The provided 510(k) summary is incomplete and lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only.
Based on the provided information, it is highly unlikely that this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "cleening DETECTION THEIR E of LICE". This describes a process related to finding lice, which are external parasites. IVDs are typically used to examine samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose diseases or conditions.
- Lack of Information: The absence of information in all other sections (Device Description, Imaging Modality, Anatomical Site, etc.) further supports that this is not a typical medical device, especially not an IVD which would require detailed descriptions of its components and how it interacts with biological samples.
- Nature of Lice Detection: Detecting lice usually involves visual inspection of hair and scalp, not the analysis of biological samples in a laboratory setting, which is the hallmark of IVD testing.
Therefore, based on the limited but telling information provided, this device appears to be related to the detection of lice on a person, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.
