Intended Use
The Marpac Messenger™ attaches to standard 15mm tracheostomy tubes and assists tracheostomy patients with speech by managing airflow.
Device Description
The Marpac Messenger™ consists of a plastic outer body with an inner flexible diaphragm made of medical grade silicone. The Marpac Messenger™ attaches to the hub of a standard 15mm tracheostomy tube. The one-way valve design of the Marpac Messenger™ allows airflow into the valve when the tracheostomy patient inhales and maintains a closed position during expiration thereby directing airflow up through the larynx, mouth, and nose enabling speech.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical airflow management and do not mention any computational or data-driven components indicative of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended to assist tracheostomy patients with speech by managing airflow, which is a therapeutic purpose to improve a physiological function.

No

Explanation: The device's purpose is to assist tracheostomy patients with speech by managing airflow, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It helps the patient speak rather than detect or identify a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of a "plastic outer body with an inner flexible diaphragm made of medical grade silicone," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Marpac Messenger™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Marpac Messenger™ Function: The Marpac Messenger™ is a mechanical device that attaches to a tracheostomy tube to manage airflow and facilitate speech. It does not perform any tests on biological samples.

Therefore, the Marpac Messenger™ falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a respiratory aid or speech aid, rather than an in vitro diagnostic.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Marpac Messenger™ attaches to standard 15mm tracheostomy tubes and assists tracheostomy patients with speech by managing airflow. The Marpac Messenger™ has the same intended use as the previously cleared Passy-Muir PMV 2001 Tracheostomy Speaking Valve.

§ 868.5800 Tracheostomy tube and tube cuff.

(a)
Identification. A tracheostomy tube and tube cuff is a device intended to be placed into a surgical opening of the trachea to facilitate ventilation to the lungs. The cuff may be a separate or integral part of the tracheostomy tube and is, when inflated, intended to establish a seal between the tracheal wall and the tracheostomy tube. The cuff is used to prevent the patient's aspiration of substances, such as blood or vomit, or to provide a means for positive-pressure ventilation of the patient. This device is made of either stainless steel or plastic.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Date of Summary: May 20, 2004

Device Trade Name: Marpac Messenger™ Common Name: Speaking Valve Classification: Tracheostomy tube and tube cuff. 21 CFR 868.5800

Predicate Device: Passy-Muir Tracheostomy Speaking Valve PMV 2001 by Passy & Passy, Inc. (K903699), 9-4-1990.

Description of Device: The Marpac Messenger™ consists of a plastic outer body with an inner flexible diaphragm made of medical grade silicone. The Marpac Messenger™ attaches to the hub of a standard 15mm tracheostomy tube. The one-way valve design of the Marpac Messenger™ allows airflow into the valve when the tracheostomy patient inhales and maintains a closed position during expiration thereby directing airflow up through the larynx, mouth, and nose enabling speech.

Intended Use: The Marpac Messenger™ attaches to standard 15mm tracheostomy tubes and assists tracheostomy patients with speech by managing airflow. The Marpac Messenger™ has the same intended use as the previously cleared Passy-Muir PMV 2001 Tracheostomy Speaking Valve.

Substantial Equivalence: The Marpac Messenger™ has the same indicated use, uses the same operating principle, and incorporates the same basic speaking valve design as the Passy-Muir PMV 2001 Tracheostomy Speaking Valve which previously received a 510(k) concurrence. Non-clinical test data can be found in Attachment B (Inhalation Flow Resistance Chart). The chart demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate device with respect to inhalation flow resistance.
