The device description clearly states it is a "manual device" with no mention of any computational or learning capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is also "Not Found".
No
The device is described as a manual tool for cleaning the tongue to remove plaque and debris, which promotes hygiene rather than treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as a "cleaning" device for removing plaque and food debris, not for diagnosing any medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "manual device" composed of "durable and safe plastic," indicating it is a physical, hardware-based device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to physically remove bacterial plaque and food debris from the tongue. This is a mechanical action performed directly on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The device is a manual tool used for cleaning. It does not involve any reagents, instruments, or procedures typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: The description does not mention any of the characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a physical cleaning tool.
