The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a feeding tube, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No
A G-Tube is used for nutritional support and medication delivery, which are supportive functions rather than direct therapeutic treatments of a disease or condition.
No
The device is a gastrostomy feeding tube intended for providing enteral feeding, medication, or gastric decompression. It does not perform any diagnostic functions.
No
The device description clearly details physical components such as a silicone funnel, shaft, adjustable external balloon, ports, connectors, tether, and cap, indicating it is a hardware device. The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics and testing of these hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "placement in adult populations that require enteral feeding, medication or gastric decompression through an established gastrointestinal stoma tract." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for delivering substances or removing contents, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose conditions.
- Device Description: The description details a physical tube with funnels, ports, a balloon, and connectors designed for insertion into a stoma tract. This is consistent with a medical device used for direct patient care, not for laboratory testing.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, calibrators, controls, or any components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic tests. The performance studies focus on the physical and functional characteristics of the tube itself, not on the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic measurement.
Therefore, the G-Tube described is a medical device used for patient management, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Gastrostomy Feeding Tube (G-Tube) consists of two product versions (models): a Bi-Funnel G-Tube and a Tri-Funnel G-Tube. Each G-Tube version is offered in varying shaft French (FR) sizes and balloon sizes. Both versions are offered in the same functional length. The overall difference between the Bi-Funnel and Tri-Funnel G-Tube is that the Tri-Funnel G-Tube allows for simultaneous delivery of feeding solutions and medications while the Bi-Funnel G-Tube allows for delivery of either feeding solutions or medications at a time. Both Bi-Funnel and Tri-Funnel G-Tubes consist of a silicone funnel, shaft, adjustable external balloon. The funnel for the Bi-Funnel G-Tube has two ports: one port houses the balloon inflation valve which allows for balloon inflation and deflation, and the other port houses the male ENFit* connector (also known as PG Lock* connector) which allows for delivery of feeding solutions and medication. The Tri-Funnel G-Tube has three ports: one port houses the balloon inflation valve, the center port houses the male ENFit connector which allows for delivery of feeding solutions, and the last (side) port houses another male ENFit connector which allows for delivery of medications. Attached to the ENFit connectors are a tether and a cap. The cap is intended to cover the ENFit connector when the device is not in use and the tether is intended to secure the connector when the device is in use. The same ENFit connector, tether and cap components are used for both Bi-Funnel and Tri-Funnel G-Tubes. The remaining components (shaft, adjustable bolster and balloon) are commonly shared for the Bi-Funnel and Tri-Funnel G-tubes and identical in both versions.
In use, the distal end of the G-Tube is inserted through a gastrointestinal stoma tract and into the stomach. Once the device is inside the stomach, a male luer slip or luer lock syringe is connected to the balloon inflation valve and the balloon is inflated with sterile or distilled water to the recommended fill volume printed on the balloon inflation port. Then, the G-Tube is withdrawn until the balloon stops against the inner stomach wall and lastly the external bolster adjusted flush against the abdomen by sliding down the shaft of the G-Tube. The shaft is printed with the rated shaft French size and graduation marks as a reference for identifying the diameter and length of the stoma tract. Once secured in place, the G-Tube will serve as a channel for administering nutrients and medication into the stomach and for gastric decompression. Enteral administration sets and syringes incorporating female ENFit connectors will be connected to the male ENFit connectors on the G-Tubes for delivering feeding solutions, medications, and for tube flushing. The male ENFit connection system was designed with the purpose of preventing unwanted misconnections with non-enteral connectors (i.e., luers delivering !.V. fluids). When device replacement is deemed necessary, the balloon is deflated and the G-Tube is pulled out of the stoma tract. The G-Tube is then replaced as previously described above.

Table 5.1 – Proposed Device Offerings
Both Bi-Funnel and Tri-Funnel G-Tubes consist of a silicone funnel, shaft, adjustable external balloon. The funnel for the Bi-Funnel G-Tube has two ports: one port houses the balloon inflation valve which allows for balloon inflation and deflation, and the other port houses the male ENFit* connector (also known as PG Lock* connector) which allows for delivery of feeding solutions and medication. The Tri-Funnel G-Tube has three ports: one port houses the balloon inflation valve, the center port houses the male ENFit connector which allows for delivery of feeding solutions, and the last (side) port houses another male ENFit connector which allows for delivery of medications. Attached to the ENFit connectors are a tether and a cap. The cap is intended to cover the ENFit connector when the device is not in use and the tether is intended to secure the connector when the device is in use. The same ENFit connector, tether and cap components are used for both Bi-Funnel and Tri-Funnel G-Tubes. The remaining components (shaft, adjustable bolster and balloon) are commonly shared for the Bi-Funnel and Tri-Funnel G-tubes and identical in both versions.
- . *Note: The term "PG Lock" was the qeneric name used to describe the enteral connectors attached to the proposed device before these had an industry trade name. After commencing the design and development project for the proposed device, the Global Enteral Device Supplier Association (GEDSA) settled on an industry trade name for the enteral connectors and termed these connectors "ENFit". Within the body of this submission and within the supporting documentation, both "PG Lock" and "ENFit" connectors are used interchangeably; however, both terms refer to the same enteral connectors.
In use, the distal end of the G-Tube is inserted through a gastrointestinal stoma tract and into the stomach. Once the device is inside the stomach, a male luer slip or luer lock syringe is connected to the balloon inflation valve and the balloon is inflated with sterile or distilled water to the recommended fill volume printed on the balloon inflation port. Then, the G-Tube is withdrawn until the balloon stops against the inner stomach wall and lastly the external bolster adjusted flush against the abdomen by sliding down the shaft of the G-Tube. The shaft is printed with the rated shaft French size and graduation marks as a reference for identifying the diameter and length of the stoma tract. Once secured in place, the G-Tube will serve as a channel for administering nutrients and medication into the stomach and for gastric decompression. Enteral administration sets and syringes incorporating female ENFit connectors will be connected to the male ENFit connectors on the G-Tubes for delivering feeding solutions, medications, and for tube flushing. The male ENFit connection system was designed with the purpose of preventing unwanted misconnections with non-enteral connectors (i.e., luers delivering !.V. fluids). When device replacement is deemed necessary, the balloon is deflated and the G-Tube is pulled out of the stoma tract. The G-Tube is then replaced as previously described above. A more detailed device description with drawings is included in Section 11 of this 510(k).
