Intended Use
The device is a portable aspirator which uses suction as a means to withdraw fluids or foreign bodies from a patient. The primary intended use of the care-e-vac 3 is as an aspirator to be used to help evacuate saliva, mucous, vomitous or other aspirant from the mouth and or airway to allow adequate respiration or ventilation of the patient.
Device Description
The device uses conventional technology to provide medical suction. The mechanical portion of the aspirator consists of an electrically driven pump to provide suction, a gauge to indicate the suction level and a regulator to control the suction level.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description explicitly states it uses "conventional technology" and describes a purely mechanical system (pump, gauge, regulator) for suction. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or any related concepts.

Yes
The device is described as an aspirator used to withdraw fluids or foreign bodies from a patient to allow adequate respiration or ventilation, which directly contributes to the treatment or management of a patient's health condition.

No

The device is an aspirator used to withdraw fluids or foreign bodies, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It does not identify or characterize a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it has a "mechanical portion" consisting of an electrically driven pump, a gauge, and a regulator, indicating it is a hardware device with mechanical components, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used to "withdraw fluids or foreign bodies from a patient" and "evacuate saliva, mucous, vomitous or other aspirant from the mouth and or airway". This is a direct intervention on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical pump, gauge, and regulator for providing suction. This aligns with a physical medical device used for aspiration, not a device for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device performs a physical action on the patient directly.

Dear Mr. Chae:

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 Eederal Register.

3

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 (240) 276-0120. 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 (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
