No
The summary describes a physical device (tip cover) and lacks any mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is described as "Automated Ophthalmics Softips Tonopen Tip Cover," which sounds like a disposable cover for a medical instrument. There is no information in the provided text to suggest it delivers therapy.

No
The provided text mentions "Softips Ophtholmics Device Name: Indications For Use: Automated Ophthalmics Softips Tonopen Tip Cover". This describes a tip cover for a device, not a diagnostic device itself. The function of the tip cover is not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states "Automated Ophthalmics Softips Tonopen Tip Cover," which indicates a physical component (a tip cover) and not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • No mention of in vitro testing: The description focuses on a tip cover for an ophthalmic device (likely a tonometer, given the name "Tonopen"). There is no indication that this device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Focus on a physical accessory: The device is described as an "Automated Ophthalmics Softips Tonopen Tip Cover," which is a physical accessory for another medical device. IVDs are typically reagents, instruments, or systems used for testing biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided text, the Softips Ophthalmics Device is not an IVD.
