No
The summary describes a physical medical device (feeding tube and accessories) and its performance testing, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is described as an enteral feeding tube and extension set, which is used to deliver nutrition to patients, hence supporting a medical function to maintain health.
No
The provided text explicitly states that the device is intended for "enteral feeding" and "to deliver fluids from the nutritional source," not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (feeding tubes, extension sets) and mentions performance testing related to physical properties like tensile strength, leakage, and flow rate. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.
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 MED-RX Pediatric Feeding Tube and Accessories are used for enteral feeding, which means delivering nutrition directly into the gastrointestinal tract. This is a therapeutic or supportive function, not a diagnostic one.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "nasogastric enteral feeding" and "to deliver fluids from the nutritional source." This describes a method of delivering substances into the body, not analyzing substances from the body.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and their function in delivering fluids, not on any analytical or diagnostic capabilities.
Therefore, the MED-RX Pediatric Feeding Tube and Accessories fall under the category of medical devices used for patient care and treatment, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Non-Clinical Test Summary
Verification of functional performance of the MED-RX Pediatric Feeding Tubes and Accessories has been performed and successfully completed. The MED-RX Pediatric Feeding Tubes and MED-RX Enteral Extension Sets were subject to numerous performance tests including tensile strength of the bonded joints and of the tubes, and resistance to liquid leakage under pressure and under vacuum. The MED-RX Pediatric Feeding Tube and Accessories were also tested for connector separation, device compatibility with other non-luer medical devices, and for determination of flow rate. The MED-RX Pediatric Feeding Tubes and MED-RX Enteral Extension Sets have successfully completed all required performance testing, as summarized in Table 2.

Dear Ms. Brown:
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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. 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 of medical device-related
