No
The device is described as a "fluid delivery system" intended for "continuous or intermittent administration of fluid," which includes drugs, electrolytes, whole blood, and blood products. Its function is to "control and monitor the flow of fluids," rather than to diagnose medical conditions or interpret physiological data for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states the pump uses "mechanical force (piston-driven diaphragm)" and includes "means to detect fault conditions," indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The FluidSense Fluid Delivery System is described as a device for administering fluids into the body through various pathways (epidural, intravenous, irrigation, subcutaneous). It controls and monitors the flow of these fluids.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the administration of fluids like drugs, electrolytes, blood, and blood products to the patient.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a fluid delivery system that propels fluids through a tube into the body.

The device's function is to deliver substances to the patient, not to analyze specimens from the patient. Therefore, it falls under the category of a therapeutic or drug delivery device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
