More Information

No
The device description and intended use clearly define a simple, non-electronic menstrual cup made of silicone. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would involve AI or ML.

No
The device description states it is a receptacle to collect blood and cellular debris during menstruation, which is not a therapeutic function.

No
The Device Description states that the BelleCup is a "Menstrual cup," and its Intended Use is to "collect blood and cellular debris" during menstruation. This function is for collection, not for diagnosing any medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states the device is manufactured from a single component of silicone elastomer, indicating it is a physical object, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to collect menstrual fluid, which is a physical collection of biological material for disposal or hygiene purposes. It is not intended for the in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it's a menstrual cup, a physical receptacle.
  • Regulation Number: The regulation number 21 CFR 884.5400 is for "Menstrual cup," which falls under the Obstetrics/Gynecology panel, not the IVD panel.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing the collected fluid, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to gain information about a person's health. The BelleCup's function is purely for collection.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The device is a receptacle placed in the vagina to collect blood and cellular debris that is extruded from the uterus via the cervix during menstruation. The Bellecup is placed low enough in the vagina to be retrieved readily and, at the same time, to prevent it's touching the cervix or interfering with menstrual flow through it. .

Dear Mr. Kolber:

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.
