The summary describes a device that uses Doppler audio and RF energy, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes
The device performs electrosurgery procedures (i.e., coagulation/cauterization, hemostasis), which are therapeutic interventions.
Yes
The device is described as providing "Doppler audio output in the presence of pulmonary vessel blood-flow", which implies it is used to detect or assess physiological conditions, falling under the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "multi-function catheter" and connects to a "Doppler Processing Unit" and an "electrocautery radiofrequency generator," indicating it is a hardware device with associated components, not software only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "blood-flow detection and electrosurgery procedures... in the upper airways and tracheobronchial tree through a bronchoscope." This describes a procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
- Device Description: The description details a catheter inserted into the body and connected to external units for Doppler and RF energy. This is consistent with an in vivo medical device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information. IVDs typically involve tests performed on biological specimens.
Therefore, the Exhale Probe is an in vivo medical device, not an IVD.

§ 874.4680 Bronchoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A bronchoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the bronchoscope and is intended to examine or treat the larynx and tracheobronchial tree. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the rigid ventilating bronchoscope, rigid nonventilating bronchoscope, nonrigid bronchoscope, laryngeal-bronchial telescope, flexible foreign body claw, bronchoscope tubing, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy brush, rigid biopsy forceps, flexible biopsy curette, and rigid bronchoscope aspirating tube, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Job:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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 Amerodments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). 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.
This determination of substantial equivalence applies to the Model BT 1440 transducer intended for use with the Exhale Probe Catheter, as described in your premarket notification.

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
