More Information

Not Found

No
The provided 510(k) summary contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts, and the device description is not available to infer such capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as assisting with "muscle re-education by application of external stimulation to the muscles necessary for pharyngeal contraction," which indicates it is used for treatment and rehabilitation.

No
The device is used for muscle re-education, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. It applies external stimulation, indicating an intervention, not a detection or analysis for diagnosis.

No

The intended use describes "application of external stimulation to the muscles," which strongly suggests a hardware component is involved in delivering this stimulation. The lack of a device description prevents confirmation, but the intended use points away from a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Muscle re-education by application of external stimulation to the muscles necessary for pharyngeal contraction." This describes a therapeutic or rehabilitative function, not a diagnostic one.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not involve analyzing such samples.
  • Device Description: While the device description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points away from an IVD function.

The device appears to be a therapeutic device used for muscle stimulation.

Dear Ms. Bagwell:

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. You must comply with all the Act s requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21

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.
