Intended Use
The Rüsch Edgar Tube is a sterile, single-use, oral/nasal tracheal tube intended to be used for airway management. The integral instillation system is indicated for drug instillation by the endobronchial route, anesthetic administration and gas monitoring.
Device Description
The Rüsch Edgar Tube will be offered in the Magill pattern in two (2) versions - cuffed and uncuffed. Cuffed versions will have a low-pressure/high volume cuff, inflated via a luer activated valve. A pilot balloon will be provided to give a visual indication of cuff status. The Rüsch Edgar Tube consists of a clear endotracheal tube with a radiopaque stripe. The main tube is graduated with multiple centimeter markings to facilitate determination of intubated length. The instillation lumen is connected to a luer lock connector with cap by a tube that is color coded to prevent confusion with the cuff inflation line. The Rüsch Edgar Tube will be available in a variety of sizes ranging from 2.5mm - 6.0mm uncuffed and 6.5mm - 10.0mm cuffed. Both versions will be available in 0.5mm increments.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a standard endotracheal tube with an instillation system and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is used for airway management and drug instillation, but it is not described as curing, treating, mitigating, or preventing a disease.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an oral/nasal tracheal tube for airway management and drug instillation. Its primary function is therapeutic and supportive (airway management, drug delivery), not for diagnosing conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly details physical components such as a tube, cuff, valve, pilot balloon, radiopaque stripe, and luer lock connector, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "airway management" and "drug instillation by the endobronchial route, anesthetic administration and gas monitoring." These are all procedures performed on the patient's body, not on samples taken from the patient's body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical tube used to manage the airway and deliver substances directly into the body. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to testing or analyzing biological specimens (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Rüsch Edgar Tube is used in vivo (inside the body) for therapeutic and monitoring purposes related to airway management.

Dear Mr. Lykins:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced aboye 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.
