More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of a balloon catheter for dilation and does not mention any computational or data-driven features.

Yes

The device is used to treat a medical condition (strictures of the gastrointestinal tract) by dilating them, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: The device is used to dilate strictures, a therapeutic function, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical medical device (catheter with a balloon) and its function, not a software-only product.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to mechanically dilate strictures within the gastrointestinal tract. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a balloon catheter designed for physical intervention. It does not involve the examination of specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic results based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely interventional and therapeutic.

Dear Ms. Thomas:

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 additional controls.
