No
The summary describes a topical oral rinse and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for "fast pain relief" and "healing of oral wounds, mouth sore injuries and ulcers of the oral mucosa," which are therapeutic claims.

No
The device, Caraloe Oral Rinse, is described for pain relief and healing of oral wounds and ulcers. Its intended use focuses on treatment and symptom relief rather than the identification or diagnosis of a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly identifies the device as an "Oral Rinse," which is a liquid substance and therefore a physical product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a product applied directly to the oral mucosa for pain relief and wound management. This is a topical application for therapeutic purposes.
  • Device Description: It's an "Oral Rinse," which is consistent with a topical application.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of:
    • Analyzing samples in vitro (outside the body).
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples (like blood, urine, saliva, etc.).
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions based on in vitro analysis.

IVDs are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information about a person's health. This oral rinse is applied to the body for local treatment.
