Intended Use
The Provox® Micron HME™ is a specialized stoma cover that acts as a heat and moisture exchanger (HME) and air filtration device for laryngectomized patients. Provox® Micron HMETM partially restores lost breathing resistance due to laryngectomy. For patients with a voice prosthesis or surgical speech fistula it may also facilitate voicing. It is intended to be used with the Provox® HME System. Environments of use include - hospitals, sub-acute care institutions and home.
Device Description
The Provox® Micron HME™ is a device which covers the stoma of a laryngectomy pationt. It is dcsigned to heat and humidify inhaled air to reduce the drying out of the airway as well as it incorporates filter media to filter the inhaled air of bacteria, virus and particulate matter. It also incorporates a feature whereby the user may close the device, diverting exhaled air through the esophagus to facilitate voicing. This feature is identical to the predicate, Provox® HME cassette (K014102) and Provox® FreeHands HME (K022125), the only difference between the proposed device and the predicates in the addition of filter media.
More Information

No
The device description and performance metrics focus on physical properties (heat/moisture exchange, filtration, pressure drop) and mechanical function (closing for voicing). There is no mention of AI, ML, data processing, or algorithms.

Yes.
The device acts as a heat and moisture exchanger and air filtration device for laryngectomized patients, partially restoring lost breathing resistance and facilitating voicing, which are therapeutic functions.

No

The device description clearly states its functions as a heat and moisture exchanger, air filter, and a facilitator for voicing in laryngectomized patients. None of these functions involve diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical stoma cover with filter media, designed to heat, humidify, and filter inhaled air. It also has a mechanical feature for voicing. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.

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.
  • Device function: The Provox® Micron HME™ is a physical device that covers a stoma and modifies inhaled air. It does not analyze biological samples to provide diagnostic information.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device's function as a heat and moisture exchanger, air filter, and facilitator of voicing. None of these activities involve in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and their function in modifying inhaled air and facilitating voicing. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the Provox® Micron HME™ falls under the category of a medical device, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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)

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.

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.
