More Information

Not Found

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical menstrual cup, with no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing.

No.
The device's function is to collect menstrual blood and cellular debris, which is a collection/containment purpose rather than a therapeutic one (i.e., treating or preventing a disease or condition).

No
The Mooncup is described as a receptacle to collect menstrual discharge, which is a collection function, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of it analyzing or interpreting the collected material for medical diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical receptacle (Mooncup) placed in the vagina, which is a hardware component, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to collect menstrual fluid, not to test or analyze it for diagnostic purposes. IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosing, monitoring, or treating a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly describes a physical collection device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of any testing, analysis, or measurement of the collected fluid.

The Mooncup is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than IVDs. It's a device for managing menstruation.

Dear Ms. Hardy:

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.

Image /page/0/Picture/10 description: The image is a circular seal or logo. The text "1906-2006" is at the top of the seal. Below that is the text "PDA Centennial" in a stylized font. There are three stars below the word "Centennial".

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 one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
