No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and equivalence to existing non-AI/ML devices, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for the "dilation of strictures of the esophagus," which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at treating a medical condition.
No
The device is used for dilation of esophageal strictures, which is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic one. Its purpose is to treat a condition, not to identify or characterize it.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "sterile, single use disposable esophageal dilator" consisting of a "graduated tube with a center endoscope channel, a tapered tip and a safety handle," indicating it is a physical medical device, not software.
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 dilation of strictures of the esophagus under endoscopic visualization. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a physical dilator used to expand a stricture. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. The device's function is purely mechanical and procedural.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SMART Dilator is indicated for dilation of strictures of the esophagus under endoscopic visualization in adults 18 years or older.

Device Description
The SMART Dilator is a sterile, single use disposable esophageal dilator. The SafeStitch endoscope guide dilator consists of a graduated tube with a center endoscope channel, a tapered tip and a safety handle. The flexible endoscope has a relative rigidity and in combination with the dilator will provide sufficient axial integrity for dilation. The handle provides feedback to indicate how much axial force is being placed on the device and subsequently, the esophagus.

(a)
Identification. An esophageal dilator is a device that consists of a cylindrical instrument that may be hollow and weighted with mercury or a metal olive-shaped weight that slides on a guide, such as a string or wire and is used to dilate a stricture of the esophagus. This generic type of device includes esophageal or gastrointestinal bougies and the esophageal dilator (metal olive).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Trade/Device Name: SMART Dilator Regulation Number: 21 CFR §876.5365 Regulation Name: Esophageal dilator Regulatory Class: II Product Code: KNQ Dated: January 15, 2009 Received: January 15, 2009
Dear Mr. Arbesu:
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.
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 os 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 one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter.
