Intended Use
This device is intended to measure alcohol in human breath. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis of alcohol intoxication.
Device Description
The AlcoHAWK® PT500 is designed to measure deep lung air to test for the presence of alcohol in the blood. The relationship between alcohol in the blood and alcohol in the deep lung breath is well established by Henry's law in ratio of 2100:1 The AlcoHAWK® PT500 has been tested and uses a blow time of 5 seconds to capture an accurate deep lung sample. The AlcoHAWK® PT500 sensor uses a fuel cell type of detector similar to one found on professional units. It is handheld and uses two AA alkaline batteries as a power source. The mouthpiece is replaceable Plexiglas plastic.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and established scientific principles (Henry's Law) for breath alcohol detection, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data processing or interpretation.

No
The device is used for diagnosis of alcohol intoxication by measuring alcohol in human breath, not for treatment or therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis of alcohol intoxication."

No

The device description clearly states it is a handheld device with a fuel cell sensor, batteries, and a mouthpiece, 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.
  • Device Function: This device measures alcohol in breath, which is a sample of air exhaled from the lungs, not a sample taken from the body in the traditional sense of an in vitro test.
  • Intended Use: While the intended use mentions "diagnosis of alcohol intoxication," the method of measurement is through breath analysis, not through testing a bodily fluid or tissue sample.

Therefore, while it's a diagnostic tool, it falls under a different regulatory category than an IVD.

Dear Mr. Kamm:

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 Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
