No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and functionality of a silicone feeding tube, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is a feeding tube used for administering food and medication, which supports life functions rather than treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is a feeding tube used for administering nutrition and medication or for gastric decompression, not for identifying or diagnosing a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical, silicone feeding tube with various hardware components (lumens, ports, balloon, tip, etc.) and the performance studies focus on physical properties and functionality.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for feeding, medication administration, and gastric decompression through a gastrostomy tract. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic and supportive purposes.
- Device Description: The description details a physical tube with features for insertion and function within the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide diagnostic information about a disease or condition. The device's function is purely mechanical and supportive.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. 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.
