Intended Use
The intended use of the device is to assist users in achieving a full erection, i.e., to create an erection in men with Erectile dysfunction by means of an applied vacuum to the penis, which draws blood to the penile corpora cavernosa, causing the penis to become erect and rigid. The constriction bands are then placed around the base of the erect penis to restrict the flow of venous blood leaving the penis.

No
The summary describes a mechanical vacuum erection device and does not mention any AI or ML components.

Yes
The device is intended to treat Erectile Dysfunction by assisting users in achieving a full erection.

No
The device is used to assist in achieving an erection by applying a vacuum to the penis, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states "VT-1 Vacuum Erection Device," which is a hardware device. The summary does not mention any software component that functions as a medical device on its own.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to physically assist in achieving an erection by applying a vacuum and using constriction bands. This is a mechanical action on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: It's described as a "Vacuum Erection Device," which aligns with a physical aid.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Mr. Bell:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
