Intended Use
The EMS Talking Trach tracheostomy tube, cuffed, is intended to provide tracheal access for airway management of tracheostomized patient. The device allows tracheostomy patients with a functional larynx and an unobstructed upper airway to vocalize / phonate. The Inner Speech cannula allows vocalization with the tracheostomy tube's cuff to remain inflated for ventilator dependent patients. For adult patients > 30 kg.
Device Description
The proposed EMS Talking Trach is a tracheostomy tube which allows patients who are ventilator dependent or spontaneously breathing to speak or phonate. It can be used with patients on ventilators while the cuff is "up" or inflated. It is offered in sizes from 4.0 to 10.0 mm with disposable standard and speaking inner cannula.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical tracheostomy tube and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No.
Explanation: The device is a tracheostomy tube intended for airway management and to facilitate vocalization, not to treat a specific disease or condition.

No
This device is a tracheostomy tube designed to provide tracheal access and facilitate vocalization for tracheostomized patients, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a tracheostomy tube, which is a physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "providing tracheal access for airway management of tracheostomized patient" and allowing them to "vocalize / phonate." This is a direct intervention and management of a patient's airway, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a tracheostomy tube with features for speaking, which is a medical device used for airway management and communication, not for diagnosing a condition.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing information for the diagnosis of a disease or condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device operates in vivo (within the body) for therapeutic and functional purposes.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Dryden:

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.
