Intended Use
The Steorra™ by SORBA is a noninvasive hemodynamic monitor based on the technology of impedance cardiography. The Steorra™ measures the following cardiac parameters: heart rate (HR); stroke volume (SV) and Cardiac Output (CO) The Steorra™ can be configured with optional noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) technology. When blood pressure data are available (via the NIBP, analog input from an invasive monitor, or manual input), then systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures are displayed with rate pressure product (RPP). If central venous pressure (CVP) is input as an analog signal from an invasive monitor, then CVP is displayed and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) is calculated and displayed.

No
The summary describes a device based on impedance cardiography and standard physiological measurements (HR, SV, CO, NIBP, CVP, SVR). There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or other sections.

No
The device is described as a "noninvasive hemodynamic monitor" that measures cardiac parameters and displays blood pressure and CVP. Its function is to monitor and display physiological data, not to treat a condition or restore a function.

Yes

The device is described as a "hemodynamic monitor" that "measures the following cardiac parameters: heart rate (HR); stroke volume (SV) and Cardiac Output (CO)." It also "displays with rate pressure product (RPP)" and calculates "systemic vascular resistance (SVR)." These actions relate to measuring and monitoring physiological parameters to assess the health status of a patient, which directly aligns with the function of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Non-Invasive Impedance Cardiograph," which is a hardware device that uses impedance technology to measure cardiac parameters. While it may have software components for data processing and display, the core technology is hardware-based.

Based on the provided information, the Steorra™ by SORBA is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD devices analyze samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body).
  • The Steorra™ is described as a noninvasive hemodynamic monitor based on impedance cardiography. This technology measures electrical impedance changes on the body surface to assess cardiac function. It does not involve analyzing samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the Steorra™ operates in vivo (within the living body) and is not an IVD.

Dear Ms. Barney:

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.
