Intended Use
The Medline Anti-Reflux Valve allows the vent lumen of the gastric sump tube to neutralize the vacuum pressure in the stomach when the contents are fully evacuated, but prevents stomach contents from exiting the vent lumen. This reduces the risk that healthcare workers will be exposed to potentially infectious gastric fluids and also prevents unnecessary patient bedding and gown changes.

More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical valve for a gastric tube and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device prevents stomach contents from exiting the vent lumen of a gastric sump tube, reducing exposure to healthcare workers and preventing bedding and gown changes. It does not treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No
The device's function is to prevent stomach contents from exiting the vent lumen of a gastric sump tube, thereby reducing exposure to gastric fluids. This is a protective/preventative function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The description clearly describes a physical valve intended to be attached to a gastric sump tube, which is a hardware device. There is no mention of software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a device that manages the flow of gastric contents and prevents exposure to healthcare workers. This is a mechanical function related to patient care and safety, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly indicates a physical device interacting with a gastric tube.
  • No mention of diagnostic testing: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
  • Anatomical Site: The device interacts with the stomach, which is a physical location within the body, not a sample being tested.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device does not fit that description.

§ 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.
