No
The summary describes a simple baby teether with no mention of AI or ML technology, image processing, or performance studies related to data analysis.

No
The intended use is "FOR BABY TO CHEW AND PLAY WITH," which describes a recreational or developmental toy, not a device for treating or alleviating a medical condition.

No.
The 'Intended Use' clearly states "FOR BABY TO CHEW AND PLAY WITH," and the 'Device Description' identifies it as a "BABY TEETHER." Neither of these functions relate to diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states "BABY TEETHER," which is a physical object, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "FOR BABY TO CHEW AND PLAY WITH." This is a purely recreational and developmental purpose, not related to diagnosing, monitoring, or treating a medical condition by examining samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "BABY TEETHER." Teethers are designed for oral stimulation and soothing during teething, not for diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Measuring biomarkers or analytes
    • Any other activities typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, this device falls outside the scope of an IVD.

Dear Mr. Chang:

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 such 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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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.
