The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and material properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

The device is indicated for contraception, which is a preventive measure rather than a treatment for a disease or condition.

No
The device, a Milex Wide-Seal contraceptive diaphragm, is used for the prevention of pregnancy. It does not diagnose any condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a physical object made of silicone (a shallow cup with a flexing rim) and is placed over the cervix. This indicates it is a hardware medical device, 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 is for the prevention of pregnancy by physically blocking the cervix and holding spermicide. This is a mechanical and chemical method of contraception, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples to diagnose a condition or disease.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical barrier device made of silicone. It does not describe any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. There are no reagents, test strips, or analytical procedures described.

Therefore, the Milex Wide-Seal Silicone Diaphragm is a medical device used for contraception, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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 the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning vour device in the Federal Register.

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.
