AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any related concepts, and the device description is not available.

Therapeutic

No
The device is used to measure pH, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or alleviate a medical condition.

Diagnostic

Yes
The device is used to measure pH (hydrogen ion concentration), which is a diagnostic measurement used to identify and characterize medical conditions related to pH levels in the stomach and esophagus.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only or includes hardware components. The predicate device is a hardware probe, suggesting this device might also involve hardware.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

• Intended Use: The intended use is to "measure intragastric and intraesophageal pH". This is a measurement taken within the body (in vivo), not on a sample of bodily fluid or tissue outside the body (in vitro).
• Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites are "intragastric and intraesophageal", which are internal locations.
• Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., which are typical for IVD devices.

Therefore, this device is an in vivo diagnostic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Ward:

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.
