The summary describes a device for physical separation of fecal debris and does not mention any computational analysis, image processing, or AI/ML terms.
No
The device is used for the separation of fecal debris for the concentration of eggs, larvae, protozoa, and juvenile nematodes associated with intestinal infections, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.
No
The device separates fecal debris for the concentration of eggs, larvae, protozoa, and juvenile nematodes. This action is a preparatory step for diagnostic testing, but the device itself does not perform the diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "device for the separation of fecal debris," implying a physical component for this separation process, not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the Para-Pro™ fc50 device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for the "concentration of eggs, larvae, protozoa and juvenile nematodes associated with intestinal infections" from preserved fecal specimens. This involves examining biological specimens (fecal matter) outside of the body to obtain information about a patient's health status (presence of intestinal infections).
- Device Description: The description reinforces its function in separating fecal debris from preserved specimens for the purpose of concentrating these organisms.
- Specimen Type: It specifically mentions working with "preserved specimen (10% buffered formalin; SAF sodium acetate acetic acid formaldehyde; and Proto-fix™ CLR)", which are common preservation methods for biological samples used in laboratory testing.
IVD devices are defined as reagents, instruments, and systems intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health, in order to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or its sequelae. The Para-Pro™ fc50 fits this definition as it aids in the identification of organisms associated with intestinal infections, which is a diagnostic process performed on a biological specimen outside the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Para-Pro™ fc50 is a unique, patent pending device for the separation of fecal debris from the appropriate preserved specimen (10% buffered formalin; SAF sodium acetate acetic acid formaldehyde; and Proto-fix™ CLR) for the concentration of eggs, larvae, protozoa and juvenile nematodes associated with intestinal infections.

§ 866.2900 Microbiological specimen collection and transport device.
(a)
Identification. A microbiological specimen collection and transport device is a specimen collecting chamber intended for medical purposes to preserve the viability or integrity of microorganisms in specimens during storage of specimens after their collection and during their transport from the collecting area to the laboratory. The device may be labeled or otherwise represented as sterile. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device, when solely intended for use in the collection of concentrated parasites from specimens and transport, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 866.9.

Trade/Device Name: Para-Pro™ fc 50 Regulation Number: 21 CFR 866.2990 Regulation Name: Microbiology Specimen Collection and Transport Device Regulatory Class: Class I Product Code: LKS Dated: April 11, 2006 Received: April 13, 2006
Dear Mr. Williams:
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 Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
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 Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).

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 information about the application of labeling requirements to your device, or questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (240)276-0484. 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/industry/support/index.html
