No
The summary describes a simple enteral feeding set (tubing and bag) with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies are bench tests related to flow rate and manufacturing process, not algorithmic performance.
No.
The device is described as an administration set for delivering nutritional formulas or water to a patient via a feeding tube, which is a supportive function rather than directly treating a disease or condition for therapeutic benefit.
No
Explanation: The device is intended to deliver liquid nutritional formulas or water to a patient's enteral access device. It is an administration device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components like tubing, connectors, and containers, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "deliver liquid nutritional formulas or water to a patient's enteral access device (feeding tube)." This describes a device used for administering substances directly to a patient's body, not for examining specimens taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Device Description: The description details tubing, connectors, and solution containers used for delivery, not components typically found in IVD devices (like reagents, test strips, or analyzers).
- Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information. The focus is purely on the physical delivery of fluids.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for patient care, specifically for enteral feeding, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The device is intended to deliver liquid nutritional formulas or water to a patient's enteral access device (feeding tube).

Device Description
The sets are constructed from flexible, medical grade, Non-DEHP tubing in various configurations with a stepped connector at one end. One configuration may include an Enteral solution container constructed of a laminate material with a stepped connector to connect to a gastric tube (or an extension set) or another configuration may simply be an administration set which connects the patient gastric tube to the nutrition liquid container.

(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.

Dear Nicholas Specht,
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.
