No
The summary describes a simple vibrating teether with no mention of AI or ML capabilities, data processing, or performance metrics related to algorithmic analysis.

No.
Explanation: The device is intended for infants to play with and chew on, and to help soothe teething infants, which classifies it as a consumer product (toy) rather than a therapeutic device. Its purpose is comfort and play, not treatment of a disease or medical condition.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "intended for infants to play with and chew on, and to help soothe teething infants." This purpose is for comfort and play, not for detecting, diagnosing, or monitoring a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "vibrating teething ring" constructed of "ABS resin plastic material" and is "battery-operated," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for infants to play with, chew on, and soothe teething. This is a physical interaction with the device, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
  • Device Description: The description details a vibrating teething ring made of plastic. This is a physical product for oral use, not a device designed to analyze biological materials.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on toy safety standards (flammability, mechanical hazards), not diagnostic accuracy or performance metrics relevant to IVD devices (sensitivity, specificity, etc.).

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The JeJe Teether does not fit this description.

Dear Ms. White:

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.

Page 2 - Ms. White

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 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
