More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical device for delivering topical anesthetics and mentions performance testing using image analysis, but there is no mention of AI or ML being used in the device's operation or analysis.

No
The device delivers topical anesthetics, which are drugs, and the device itself does not perform therapy.

No

The device is intended for atomizing topical anesthetics, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. Its evaluations focus on drug delivery metrics like dose and particle size, not on detecting medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it incorporates a small tube with an atomizing tip and connects to a syringe, indicating it is a physical hardware device for delivering a substance.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to atomize topical anesthetics for direct application to the oropharynx and upper airway. This is a therapeutic or drug delivery function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a topical applicator for delivering solutions. This aligns with a drug delivery device, not a device for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the delivery characteristics of the device (dose, particle size, spray geometry), which are relevant to a drug delivery system, not an IVD.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device for drug delivery, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Premarket Notification 510(k) Section 5 - 510(k) Summary

Topical Applicator

Discussion:

Particle Size:

While the difference represents a measurable difference, it would not be classified as "substantially different." The intent of the device is to deliver a topical medication to a specific sight in close proximity to the tip. Therefore bigger particles are important, otherwise the medication may be inhaled to another location that is not intended (alveolar). Both particle sizes of the respective devices are sufficiently large to insure this.

The simulated clinical dose for both devices were equal, and almost exactly equal to the "filled dose" minus the "residual", is further verification of this position (i.e., all medication was accounted for at the sight of delivery or remaining in the device. none was inhaled).

Therefore both devices equally performed their function and are "substantially equivalent."

Tube malleable wire:

The proposed device does not include a malleable wire in the tubing as this is a patented feature. We believe that the intent of the malleable wire was to allow the tube to hold a curve or shape for insertion into the patient's throat. However this feature is not a requirement for any atomizer to be functional.

The lack of a malleable wire does not introduce or create any new safety or performance issues in fact one might consider our design as "safer" as the tube is less stiff. This is not a claim which is proposed to be used or demonstrated.

The use of K-resin for our tubing allows the clinician to bend the tube and for it to "hold" some curve or shape, anatomical, during the intended use.

Therefore there are no significant differences between the proposed device and the predicate.

It is our view that there are no significant differences that affect the safety or effectiveness of the intended device as compared to the predicate device.

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.

Page 2 - Mr. Dryden

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.
