No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical medical device (vaginal pessaries) made of silicone, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational components that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "used to treat conditions such as uterine prolapse," which indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device, a vaginal pessary, is described as a "removable structure placed in the vagina to support the pelvic organs." Its intended use is to treat conditions like uterine prolapse, not to diagnose them.

No

The device description explicitly states that the devices are "manufactured from medical grade silicone elastomers," indicating they are physical objects, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The provided description clearly states that this device is a "vaginal pessary," which is a "removable structure placed in the vagina to support the pelvic organs." It is a physical device used to provide mechanical support.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: The description does not mention any testing of biological samples or any diagnostic function. Its purpose is purely therapeutic and supportive.

The information provided focuses on the physical characteristics of the pessary, its intended use for supporting pelvic organs, and the specific conditions it treats through physical support. This aligns with the definition of a medical device used for treatment or support, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
