Expanded definition
An intended-use statement typically defines what the product is for and may identify users, settings, anatomical sites, operating conditions, or relevant limitations.
It anchors directions, warnings, precautions, contraindications, evidence, and claims. A product's technical capability or a paper about another device does not automatically change its intended use.
Promotional language, labeling, instructions, and other manufacturer communications should remain consistent. For Neuvago, final product documentation and approved commercial positioning take priority over general educational content.
What the term does not establish
Why the distinction matters
