Intended Use
Plethysmography Module: The device provides non-invasive measurement of pulse waveform and heart rate by photoclectric plethysmography. Electrogastrography (EGG) Module: A device that receives, records, and produces a visual display of the myoelectrical signal produced by the stomach as an aid to diagnosis of various gastric disorders.
Device Description
The ACEM is an electronic accessory signal acquisition device. The ACEM includes five (5) signal conditioning circuits: respiration, plethysmograph, ECG and two channels of the EGG. Respiration and ECG have previous clearance under the InSight 510(k) K012232. The new plethysmograph accessory consists of a small, red LED placed against the finger and a photoelectric sensor to measure changes in the light intensity. The filter signal is amplified and digitized. The added EGG signal conditioning unit receives signals from the body through standard pad electrodes. The signals are filtered and digitized. Both the plethysmograph and EGG signals are forwarded to the Sandhill InSight System (K012232) for display.
More Information

No
The description focuses on signal acquisition, filtering, amplification, and digitization, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation. The device acts as an accessory to a previously cleared system for display.

No.
The device is described as an "accessory signal acquisition device" that measures and displays physiological signals (pulse waveform, heart rate, myoelectrical signals from the stomach) for diagnostic aid. It does not provide any treatment or therapeutic intervention.

Yes

The Electrogastrography (EGG) Module is explicitly stated as an "aid to diagnosis of various gastric disorders," indicating its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electronic accessory signal acquisition device" and details hardware components like signal conditioning circuits, LEDs, photoelectric sensors, and electrodes.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue). The descriptions of the plethysmography and EGG modules clearly state they are measuring signals from the body non-invasively (plethysmography on the finger, EGG from electrodes on the body).
  • The device is described as an "electronic accessory signal acquisition device." This indicates it's capturing physiological signals, not analyzing biological samples.
  • The intended use and device description focus on measuring and displaying physiological signals. There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device that measures physiological parameters, but it is not an IVD.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, 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 for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
