Intended Use
The OSTOM-i™ Alert is intended to be used as an accessory to any ostomy bag by monitoring the filling of the bag which information is sent via Bluetooth to a tablet computer to warn healthcare personnel when a patient's bag is close to being full. The Tablet computer automatically captures the data as to the volume and timing of output for each patient. The OSTOM-i™ Alert is indicated for all patient populations. The sensor-based OSTOM-i™ Alert attaches to any ostomy bag and is able to send messages via Bluetooth to a mobile app to warn patient when ostomy bag is close to being full. The sensor-based OSTOM-i™ Alert is intended to be used by the hospital environment. The OSTOM-i™ Alert is indicated for all patient populations.
Device Description
The sensor-based OSTOM-i™ Alert attaches to any ostomy bag and is able to send messages via Bluetooth to a mobile app to warn the health care provider when their patients' bags are close to being full, or to the patient in the post-hospital setting. The flex sensor changes its resistance according to curvature and converts resistance into mls, thereby detecting the progressive filling of the bag. This information is relayed to the tablet generating an additional report on bag status versus the visual one now available.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on a sensor that measures curvature and converts it to volume, with alerts based on a threshold. There is no mention of learning, adaptation, or complex pattern recognition characteristic of AI/ML.

No.
The device functions as an alert system for ostomy bag fullness and does not directly treat or prevent a medical condition.

No

The device monitors the filling of an ostomy bag and alerts users when it is nearly full, which is a monitoring and alert function, not a diagnostic one. It does not provide information about a patient's medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "sensor-based OSTOM-i™ Alert" that "attaches to any ostomy bag" and uses a "flex sensor" to detect filling. This indicates the device includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the OSTOM-i™ Alert is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • OSTOM-i™ Alert Function: The OSTOM-i™ Alert monitors the physical filling of an ostomy bag. It does not analyze any biological samples or perform any diagnostic tests on bodily fluids or tissues. Its function is to alert users (healthcare personnel or patients) when the bag is nearing capacity.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's an "accessory to any ostomy bag by monitoring the filling of the bag." This is a monitoring function, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, the OSTOM-i™ Alert falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Performance Testing-Usability and Label Comprehension Study by Intended User
The testing for ease of use and label comprehension of the 11 Health Ostom-i™ Hospital App with the Ostom-i™ Alert Sensor by nurses who would use this in a hospital setting was the object of this usability study. Nurses are the primary caregivers in the maintenance of ostomy bags in the hospital setting.

The usability factors included the ability of the healthcare professional to read and understand the Hospital App Instructions for Use, interface with Tablet by inputting patient information, attach the sensor to the ostomy bag and after enabling the battery, pair the sensor to the Tablet. An alert was simulated by curving the bag to the filling of the bag thereby creating the alarm condition.

CONCLUSION

807.92(b)(3)

The primary intended use of an ostomy bag is a collection device. The OSTOM-i™ Alert is an accessory to the ostomy bag which does not alter an ostomy bag's function as a collection device but rather adds a graphic fill status and alert of critical fill level to the healthcare provider via BlueTooth to a tablet computer, which is a technological improvement over intermittent visualization. In addition, information concerning amount of out- put and time of output is available for clinical purposes, if clinically indicated. The OSTOM-i™ Alert raises no new issues of safety and effectiveness for its intended use, but is a technological advance of simple visualization of ostomy fill and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
