Intended Use
SensaTouch™ is indicated as an aid for performing breast self-examinations.
Device Description
The SensaTouch™ - Breast Self-Exam Glove is a very thin double wall polyurethane glove, 8 inches in diameter containing a small quantity of colored lubricating fluid. The very thin nature of the polyester polyurethane allows the glove to conform to the shape of the tissues underlying it. The very low coefficient of friction property of the silicone fluid in combination with the very thin and flexible glove, provides easy sliding between the upper and lower surfaces of the glove. Therefore, when properly used between the fingers and the soft breast tissues of the patient, a reduction of friction is observed.

Not Found

No
The device description and lack of mentions of AI/ML, image processing, training/test sets, or performance metrics strongly suggest it is a simple mechanical aid.

No.
The device is indicated as an aid for performing breast self-examinations, which is a screening or diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as an aid for performing breast self-examinations, which helps reduce friction to make lumps more palpable. It does not independently diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical glove containing fluid, which is a hardware component.

No, this device 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.
  • SensaTouch™ Function: The SensaTouch™ is a physical aid used externally on the breast to reduce friction during a self-examination. It does not analyze any biological samples taken from the body.

The device description and intended use clearly indicate it's a physical tool for tactile examination, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

§ 892.1560 Ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system.

(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

. Dear Ms. Martin:

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 (Premarket Approval), 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.

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.
