No
The summary describes a bath for patients and does not mention any AI/ML related terms or functionalities.

No
The device is described as being "intended for bathing patients and/or residents," which is a comfort and hygiene function, not a therapeutic one. It does not mention treating, mitigating, or preventing any disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a bath for patient hygiene, with no indication of it being used to diagnose conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states "Superior Bath Model 6300," indicating a physical hardware device. The intended use also describes a physical bathing process.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for bathing patients, which is a physical care activity performed on the body. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose or monitor conditions.
  • Device Description: The description is for a "Superior Bath Model 6300," which is consistent with a physical bathing device, not a diagnostic tool.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.
  • No Mention of IVD-Related Terms: The document does not contain any terms typically associated with IVDs, such as "specimen," "assay," "reagent," "diagnosis," or "monitoring."

Therefore, the Superior Bath Model 6300 is a medical device used for patient care, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
