AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The summary describes a mechanical voice prosthesis and an inserter. There is no mention of AI or ML capabilities in the intended use, device description, or any other section. The "SmartInserter" name appears to refer to a design feature for ease of use, not intelligent functionality.

Therapeutic

Yes
The device is described as a "voice prosthesis intended for voice rehabilitation," which directly addresses a therapeutic goal.

Diagnostic

No
The device is a voice prosthesis used for rehabilitation after laryngectomy, and an inserter for that prosthesis. It does not perform any diagnostic functions.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description clearly states that the Provox Vega Voice Prosthesis is a physical device made of silicone and fluoroplastic, and the Provox SmartInserter is a single-use device for replacing the prosthesis. There is no mention of any software component.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
Device Function: The Provox Vega Voice Prosthesis and SmartInserter are physical devices implanted or used to facilitate speech after a laryngectomy. They are not used to analyze biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
Intended Use: The intended use is for voice rehabilitation and replacement of the prosthesis, not for diagnosing or monitoring a medical condition through the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the Provox Vega Voice Prosthesis and SmartInserter fall under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

Device Description

The Provox Vega is a one-way valve (prosthesis) that keeps a TE-puncture open for speech, while reducing the risk of fluids and food entering the trachea. The Provox Vega voice prosthesis is not a permanent implant, and needs periodic replacement. The prosthesis is available in different diameters and several lengths. The device is made of silicone and fluoroplastic.

The Provox Vega package contains the following items:

· 1 Provox Vega voice prosthesis pre-loaded in a single-use SmartInserter, sterile
· 1 Provox Brush of a size corresponding to the voice prosthesis, non-sterile
· 1 Clinician Manual
· 1 Patient Manual
· 1 Provox Brush Instructions for Use

Regulation Number and Section

§ 874.3730 Laryngeal prosthesis (Taub design).

(a)
Identification. A laryngeal prosthesis (Taub design) is a device intended to direct pulmonary air flow to the pharynx in the absence of the larynx, thereby permitting esophageal speech. The device is interposed between openings in the trachea and the esophagus and may be removed and replaced each day by the patient. During phonation, air from the lungs is directed to flow through the device and over the esophageal mucosa to provide a sound source that is articulated as speech.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a voice amplification device, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 874.9.
