No
The summary describes a mechanical balloon dilator and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as dilating strictures of the GI tract, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as a dilator for strictures in the GI tract, which is a therapeutic function, not diagnostic. Its purpose is to treat by dilating, not to identify or analyze a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of a physical catheter with an internally fixed guide wire and a balloon, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided information clearly describes a device used to physically dilate strictures within the GI tract. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

The device is a balloon dilator, which is a type of interventional medical device used for treatment, not diagnosis.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Biocompatibility testing was not conducted for this product line extension, as there were no material changes. The only design change was the addition of a 20 mm balloon dilator size. Functionality testing, Failure Pressure and Inflation/Deflation testing were completed and demonstrated that the modified Bard ELIMINATOR PET Balloon Dilators are substantially equivalent to the current Bard ELIMINATOR PET Balloon Dilators and that the device is safe for its intended use and patient population.

Dear Mr. Patz:

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 classificd (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
