The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and standard testing of an endotracheal tube, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
Explanation: This device is used for airway management and gas transport, which are supportive functions, not therapeutic. It does not treat or cure a disease or condition.
No
The device is an endotracheal tube used for airway management and gas transport, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical medical device (endotracheal tube) with hardware components like a tube, cuff, inflation lumen, pilot balloon, and radio opaque marker. It is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "airway management by nasal or oral intubation of the trachea." This is a direct intervention on the patient's body for breathing support, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description details a physical tube used for gas transport and connection to ventilation devices. It does not describe any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in samples
- Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition
Therefore, the Flexicare Endotracheal Tube is a medical device used for airway management, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Flexicare Endotracheal Tube is a single lumen tube with or without a cuff. It is intended to be inserted orally or nasally (depending on variant) into the trachea. The device is used for airway management / gas transport and is connected to a ventilator or resuscitation devices via a connector and breathing tubing. Cuffed variants have a Cuff which is intended to be inflated in the trachea in order to seal the device to prevent loss of inspiratory gases from by-passing the tube and the inhalation of vomit. Cuffed variants have an inflatable Cuff, a narrow inflation lumen and pilot balloon with valve permitting inflation and deflation using a suitable syringe fitted with a tapered luer connector. All variants (less reinforced) have a radio opaque marker consisting of an axial line imbedded into the tube which enables identification the device when patient is x-ray viewed. All variants have a Murphy eye. All variants are supplied sterile and are single use/disposable. The device is intended for single patient use only.
