No
The description focuses on mechanical suction and programmable intermittent operation, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
The device is indicated for the removal and aspiration of fluids and secretions, which is a supportive and facilitative function rather than a direct therapeutic intervention that attempts to fix a medical problem.
No
This device is described as a suction/aspiration pump intended for the removal of fluids, tissue, and secretions from the body, particularly from the patient's airway. Its function is to remove materials, not to diagnose conditions or diseases.
No
The device description clearly states it is a suction/aspiration pump with moving and electrical components housed in a plastic housing, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software for control.
Based on the provided text, the SIMEX Subglottic Aspiration System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the physical removal of fluids and materials from the patient's airway and respiratory system. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a suction pump designed to create vacuum for aspiration. This is a mechanical function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. The SIMEX Subglottic Aspiration System performs a therapeutic/procedural function (removing secretions) directly on the patient.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SIMEX Subglottic Aspiration System models cuff M and cuff S are indicated for vacuum suction, extraction, aspiration and removal of surgical fluids, tissue (including bone), bodily fluids or infectious materials from wounds or from patient's airway or respiratory system, either during surgery or at the patient's bedside.
Generally, the SIMEX Subglottic Aspiration System is intended for removing subglottic secretions from the patient's airway above the endotracheal or tracheal cuff using intermittent suction when used in ICU and acute care settings where the duration of mechanical ventilation is limited to a maximum of 4 weeks.

Device Description
The SIMEX Subglottic Aspiration System models cuff S are lightweight portable or stationary suction/aspiration pumps for medical suction procedures where secretions, blood and other body fluids must be removed. The SIMEX cuff M and cuff S are designed for the application of intermittent aspiration of fluids which is particularly useful in the aspiration of subglottic secretions. Applications range from hospital, emergency care, and acute care facilities.
These pumps are designed and engineered for the proper and effective aspiration of subglottic secretion via intermittent suction. The pump can be set to operate (aspirate) anywhere from 1-60 seconds and to pause from 1-60 minutes. The factory setting is 10 seconds of aspiration time and 10 minutes of pause time and pressure of 100 mbar vacuum. SIMEX cuff M and cuff S suction pumps remove oral and/or gastric secretions from above the tracheal and or endotracheal tube cuff before they can be aspirated by the patient, using intermittent suction to remove subglottic secretions.
There are two models of the SIMEX Subglottic Aspiration System, Models cuff M and cuff S. The two models differ in their housing and collection canister configuration. Both models have the same overall system operation and software. The moving and electrical components of both models are housed in a molded, compact plastic housing. The units include attachment for an external power supply and/or a battery charger.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-Clinical Testing (Bench):
The SIMEX Subglottic Aspiration System cuff M and cuff S are manufactured in accordance with FDA Quality System Regulations and EEC Directive 93/42/EEC Annex IX. Testing for electrical safety was conducted to ensure it meets the requirements for IEC 60601-1-2 including the National Differences for the US. Testing also demonstrated that the pumps meet the electromagnetic interference requirements of the above standards.
Bench testing of the SIMEX Subglottic Aspiration Systems cuff M and cuff S demonstrated that pumps are capable of operating for more than 2000 hours and can adequately perform when tested in a simulated use environment across the operating parameters of the pumps.

Substantial Equivalence:
The SIMEX Subglottic Aspiration System cuff M and cuff S are substantially equivalent to other powered suction pumps used for aspiration of secretions from the patient's airway or respiratory system. The SIMEX Subglottic Aspiration System, like it's predicates is used for aspiration of secretions from a patient's airway or respiratory system. The SIMEX system uses the same basic technology of other similar suction pumps and performs the same function by applying negative pressure to aspirate accumulated materials.
