No

The device description clearly states it is a "Sterilization Wrap (pouch)", which is 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 clearly states that the device is used to enclose another medical device for sterilization and maintain its sterility. This is a function related to the preparation and storage of medical devices, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Description: The description "Sterilization Wrap (pouch)" aligns with its intended use and does not suggest any diagnostic function.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document lacks any mention of typical IVD characteristics such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Mentioning assays, reagents, or analytical methods

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for sterilization and sterility maintenance, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
