No
The summary describes a sensor-based catheter for measuring pressure and pH, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or specific sections for AI/ML information.
No
The device is described as a diagnostic tool used to obtain high-resolution mapping of peristaltic activity or pressure within the gastrointestinal tract and to store the corresponding data, not to treat conditions.
Yes
The device is described as obtaining high-resolution mapping of peristaltic activity or pressure within the gastrointestinal tract and allowing storage of corresponding data, specifically mentioning pressure and pH sensing. This collection and analysis of physiological data is characteristic of a diagnostic device used to assess the state of the organs.
No
The device description clearly details a physical catheter with multiple sensors (pressure, pH, impedance) and associated electronics, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, 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. They are used to examine these samples outside of the body.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a catheter probe inserted into the gastrointestinal tract to measure pressure, pH, and impedance within the organs. It is an in vivo (within the living body) measurement device.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to obtain high-resolution mapping of peristaltic activity or pressure within the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. This is a direct measurement of physiological parameters within the body.
- Device Description: The description details sensors located at the distal end of a catheter for insertion into the body.
The device is used to collect data from the body, not to analyze samples taken from the body. Therefore, it falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The catheter probe is used to obtain a high resolution mapping of peristaltic activity or pressure within the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, and to allow storage of the corresponding data.
The device is manufactured in the basic model variations listed below:
-
- High Resolution Gastrointestinal Catheter with up to 40 pressure sensors:
This model variation is intended for simple direct esophageal pressure, either at, above, or below the specific site of interest. Pressure information is provided at multiple sensor sites. Pressures may be measured continuously, at rest, or dynamically.
- High Resolution Gastrointestinal Catheter with up to 40 pressure sensors:
-
- Gastrointestinal catheter, with pH sensors:
This model variation is the same as the High Resolution Gastrointestinal (GI) catheter described above, except that this model variation includes up to 7 pH sensors. PH probes are added to allow measurements of pH in the stomach and/or esophagus.
- Gastrointestinal catheter, with pH sensors:
-
- Gastrointestinal catheter, with sleeve:
This model variation is the same as the High Resolution Gastrointestinal (GI) catheter described above, except one or more of the pressure sensor sites will include a sleeve. The sleeve is added to broaden the pressure sensitive one for the sensor site, and reduce positioning sensitivity.
- Gastrointestinal catheter, with sleeve:
-
- Gastrointestinal catheter, with impedance rings:
This model variation is the same as the High Resolution Gastrointestinal (GI) catheter described above, except it includes up to 14 conductive rings for impedance studies.

Device Description
The Unisensor UniTip Gastrointestinal Pressure Sensor Catheter product line consists of multiple ultra-miniature solid-state pressure sensors, located at the distal end of a gastrointestinal catheter. pH sensors, silicon rubber sleeves, lumen, and conductive impedance rings, may also be included. There are scanning electronics for multiplexing the sensor signals, and an electrical connection located at the proximal end to carry the sensor element signals to an external gastrointestinal motility recording equipment. The UniTip GI catheters are produced in various lengths and catheter sizes.
This modification consists of increasing the maximum number of pressure sensor elements to 40. The closer proximity of the pressure sensor elements to each other allows for high-resolution mapping of pressures within the organs of the human gastrointestinal tract. This modification also increases the maximum number of pH sensors to 7, and the maximum number of impedence rings to 14.

§ 876.1725 Gastrointestinal motility monitoring system.
(a)
Identification. A gastrointestinal motility monitoring system is a device used to measure peristalic activity or pressure in the stomach or esophagus by means of a probe with transducers that is introduced through the mouth into the gastrointestinal tract. The device may include signal conditioning, amplifying, and recording equipment. This generic type of device includes the esophageal motility monitor and tube, the gastrointestinal motility (electrical) system, and certain accessories, such as a pressure transducer, amplifier, and external recorder.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Mr. Clark:
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 indivious 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 Coometic 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 greeral controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devines, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulter of on.
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 899. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
