More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a simple, disposable blood pressure cuff and tube set, with no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would involve AI or ML. The performance studies refer to conformance to standards, not algorithmic performance.

No
The device is described as a blood pressure cuff for monitoring blood pressure, not for treating any medical condition.

Yes
The device is used for "determination of a persons blood pressure," which is a measurement taken to diagnose or monitor medical conditions related to blood pressure.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a bladder, tube set, cuff, and connectors, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to determine a person's blood pressure. This is a physiological measurement taken directly from the body, not a test performed on a sample of bodily fluid or tissue in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The device is a blood pressure cuff and tube set. It's a mechanical device used to apply pressure to an artery to measure blood pressure. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any reagents, assays, or procedures for analyzing biological samples, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is a medical device used for physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Devine:

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.

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.
