Intended Use
The Mediplus Single Use GI Manometry Catheter is intended for water-perfused manometry of the GI tract. The Mediplus Single Use & Manometry Catheter is inducation for use when measurements of gastrointestinal tract pressures are needed for the diagnosis of suspected gastrointestinal disonders : - Investigation of gastrantestinal diseases - motility dison - Swallowing disorders - Refury disorders - Gastric and intestine disorders - Coloniec and anorectal disorders
Device Description
Mediblus GI Motility Manometric Catheters are design for the monitoring of gastrointestinal pressure. They are designed to be used with a manometric infusion pump. The major structure of the Mediplus Manometric Catheter is a multi-lumen PVC tube. The catheters are designed with variations of the configuration of the channels (depending on the model and application). The catheter facilitates the measurement of pressure at a fixed number of points along the upper gastro-intestinal tract when correctly installed to water perfusion manometry transducer equipment. Measurement is accomplished by perfusion of water through each catheter lumen. Each column of water transmits pressure to a transducer. The equipment terminates in a pressure transducer and 3-way tap.

No
The device description focuses on the physical components and mechanism of pressure measurement using water perfusion, with no mention of AI or ML for data analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is intended for diagnosis, specifically for measuring GI tract pressures to diagnose suspected GI disorders. It is not designed to treat a condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is for "diagnosis of suspected gastrointestinal disorders" and for the "Investigation of gastrointestinal diseases."

No

The device description explicitly details a physical catheter made of a multi-lumen PVC tube, designed to be used with a manometric infusion pump and pressure transducers. This indicates a hardware component is central to the device's function.

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. They are used outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Mediplus Single Use GI Manometry Catheter is an invasive device inserted into the GI tract to directly measure pressure within the body. It uses water perfusion and pressure transducers to obtain these measurements.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze a sample taken from the body. It directly interacts with the internal environment of the GI tract.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological measurement in vivo, not an in vitro diagnostic.

§ 876.1725 Gastrointestinal motility monitoring system.

(a)
Identification. A gastrointestinal motility monitoring system is a device used to measure peristalic activity or pressure in the stomach or esophagus by means of a probe with transducers that is introduced through the mouth into the gastrointestinal tract. The device may include signal conditioning, amplifying, and recording equipment. This generic type of device includes the esophageal motility monitor and tube, the gastrointestinal motility (electrical) system, and certain accessories, such as a pressure transducer, amplifier, and external recorder.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
