Not Found

No
The document describes a simple fluid-filled teether and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.

No
The device is a teether intended to relieve an infant's gums due to teething, which is generally not considered a therapeutic medical device but rather a consumer product for comfort.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a "Teether" intended to relieve an infant's gums due to teething. It does not mention any function for diagnosing conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states "Fluid Filled Teether - Gel," indicating a physical, hardware-based device. There is no mention of software functionality.

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: The description clearly states the device is a "Fluid Filled Teether - Gel" that "acts as an aid in relieving an infant's gums due to teething." This is a physical device used externally to provide comfort, not a test performed on a biological sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for relieving teething discomfort, not for diagnosing any condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a general medical device (specifically, a Class I or Class II device depending on the specific regulations and risk assessment), not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Coughlin:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical' device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.
