Intended Use
The intended use of the device is to assist users in achieving a full erection, i.e., to create an erection in men with Erectile dysfunction by means of an applied vacuum to the penis, which draws blood to the penile corpora cavernosa, causing the penis to become erect and rigid. The constriction bands are then placed around the base of the erect penis to restrict the flow of venous blood leaving the penis.

More Information

None

No
The summary describes a vacuum erection device, a mechanical device, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is described as assisting users in achieving a full erection and creating an erection in men with Erectile Dysfunction, which is a medical condition. This indicates a therapeutic intended use.

No
The device is intended to treat erectile dysfunction by physically creating an erection, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The description explicitly states the device works by applying a vacuum to the penis and using constriction bands, which are physical components, not software.

No, 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 to diagnose, monitor, or screen for health issues.
  • Device Function: The described device is a vacuum erection device (VED) used to physically create an erection by applying vacuum pressure and using constriction bands. It acts directly on the body to achieve a physical outcome.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not involve the analysis of any biological samples from the user.

Therefore, based on the intended use and description, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment or physical assistance, not an in vitro diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Bell:

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.
