Intended Use
The InCare Biofeedback Vaginal Pressure Probes and Anal Pressure Probes are intended to provide pressure biofeedback from pelvic musculature for the purpose of rehabilitation of weak pelvic floor muscles in the treatment of urinary incontinence.
Device Description
The InCare Pressure Biofeedback Vaginal Pressure Probe and Anal Pressure Probe are designed with a silicone bladder or sack that covers the probe body and tubing that connects the probe to a pressure transducer. Once the probe is inserted into the anus or vagina the bladder is filled with air. The probes measure the strength of the pelvic floor muscles by offering resistance to a patient's voluntary contractions of these muscles.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical pressure measurement and biofeedback, with no mention of AI or ML terms or concepts.

Yes
The device is intended for "rehabilitation of weak pelvic floor muscles in the treatment of urinary incontinence," which is a therapeutic purpose.

No.
The device measures the strength of pelvic floor muscles to provide biofeedback for rehabilitation of weak muscles, which is a therapeutic purpose, not diagnostics.

No

The device description explicitly details physical probes (vaginal and anal) with silicone bladders and tubing connected to a pressure transducer, indicating it is a hardware device with a software component for biofeedback, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, 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.
  • Device Function: The InCare Biofeedback Vaginal Pressure Probes and Anal Pressure Probes are used in vivo (within the body) to measure the strength of pelvic floor muscles through pressure biofeedback. They do not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for rehabilitation of weak pelvic floor muscles and treatment of urinary incontinence, which is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one based on analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic or rehabilitation device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Product performance test results demonstrate the InCare Pressure Biofeedback Vaginal Pressure Probe and Anal Pressure Probe (with silicone bladder) and the InCare Pressure Biofeedback Vaginal Pressure Probe and Anal Pressure Probe (K891774) are equivalent in product performance.

Biocompatibility assessment of the silicone bladder has been conducted based on the principles and guidelines established by various governmental regulatory agencies and standard setting organizations. Among these are the following: United States Pharmacopoeia, General program memorandum #G95-1, United States Food and Drug Administration Office of Device Evaluation and The International Standards Organization ISO 10993-1 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices. Based upon the results of this assessment, the silicone bladder material is considered biocompatible and appropriate for its intended use.
