Intended Use
The BARD® DigniShield™ Stool Management System is intended for fecal management by diverting and collecting liquid or semi-liquid stool to minimize skin contact in bedridden patients.
Device Description
The BARD® DigniShield™ Stool Management System is sold as a tray (kit). The catheter portion of the system consists of a retention cuff, a trans-sphincteric zone and a drainage tube which are constructed from a Styrenic-based Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) material. The system includes a collection bag which is also manufactured from the same TPE material. Additionally, the tray (kit) contains stand alone finished components, a syringe, lubricating jelly, and an odor eliminator. The collection bag interfaces with the catheter and allows for the collection of the fecal matter. The syringe is used to facilitate the inflation of the retention cuff portion of the catheter. The lubricating jelly is provided to minimize patient discomfort and irritation of the rectum while the device is being inserted into the rectal vault. The catheter is connected to a collection bag. When the catheter is disconnected from the collection bag, the self-sealing mechanisms of both the catheter and collection bag are engaged. This minimizes the leakage of fecal matter from either the catheter or the collection bag. The device is single-use, non-sterile, and has no components made of natural rubber latex.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and functional integrity of a stool management system, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is described as a "Stool Management System" intended for "fecal management by diverting and collecting liquid or semi-liquid stool to minimize skin contact." Its function is primarily to manage waste and prevent skin breakdown, rather than to treat or cure a disease or medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for fecal management by diverting and collecting stool, and minimizing skin contact, which describes a therapeutic or management function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of TPE material, a syringe, lubricating jelly, and a collection bag, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

Based on the provided information, the BARD® DigniShield™ Stool Management System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "fecal management by diverting and collecting liquid or semi-liquid stool to minimize skin contact in bedridden patients." This is a physical management system for bodily waste, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter, collection bag, syringe, lubricating jelly, and odor eliminator. These are all components for physically managing stool, not for analyzing biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing stool for biomarkers, pathogens, or any other diagnostic purpose. The system's function is purely collection and containment.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. The BARD® DigniShield™ system does not perform this function.

§ 876.5980 Gastrointestinal tube and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A gastrointestinal tube and accessories is a device that consists of flexible or semi-rigid tubing used for instilling fluids into, withdrawing fluids from, splinting, or suppressing bleeding of the alimentary tract. This device may incorporate an integral inflatable balloon for retention or hemostasis. This generic type of device includes the hemostatic bag, irrigation and aspiration catheter (gastric, colonic, etc.), rectal catheter, sterile infant gavage set, gastrointestinal string and tubes to locate internal bleeding, double lumen tube for intestinal decompression or intubation, feeding tube, gastroenterostomy tube, Levine tube, nasogastric tube, single lumen tube with mercury weight balloon for intestinal intubation or decompression, and gastro-urological irrigation tray (for gastrological use).(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The barium enema retention catheter and tip with or without a bag that is a gastrointestinal tube and accessory or a gastronomy tube holder accessory is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I (general controls) for the dissolvable nasogastric feed tube guide for the nasogastric tube. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 876.9.

The collection bag interfaces with the catheter and allows for the collection of the fecal matter. The syringe is used to facilitate the inflation of the retention cuff portion of the catheter. The lubricating jelly is provided to minimize patient discomfort and irritation of the rectum while the device is being inserted into the rectal vault.

The catheter is connected to a collection bag. When the catheter is disconnected from the collection bag, the self-sealing mechanisms of both the catheter and collection bag are engaged. This minimizes the leakage of fecal matter from either the catheter or the collection bag.

The device is single-use, non-sterile, and has no components made of natural rubber latex.

Adult Use Only

Technological Characteristics Summary: The subject BARD® DigniShield™ Stool Management System has the same intended use, similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the predicate devices. The only technological difference between the subject device and the DigniCare™ predicate device is that the catheter and collection bag material composition of the subject device is TPE and the predicate device catheter is silicone with a low density polyethylene collection bag. The use of the TPE material does not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. Therefore, the BARD® DigniShield™ Stool Management System is substantially equivalent to currently marketed fecal management systems.

Dear Mr. Job:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of December 22, 2010.

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 (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.

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
