The summary describes a device that continuously measures and automatically maintains cuff pressure based on user-set values. There is no mention of learning, adaptation, or complex pattern recognition that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The control system analysis mentioned likely refers to traditional control theory, not AI/ML.
Yes.
The device's intended use is to continuously measure and automatically maintain the cuff pressure of an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube, which directly relates to the medical care and treatment of patients on mechanical ventilation. Its function in supporting mechanical ventilation and ensuring proper airway management for patients across various care settings, including critically ill individuals and those undergoing surgery, classifies it as a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is described as continuously measuring and automatically maintaining cuff pressure, which is a control and maintenance function, not a diagnostic one. It adjusts pressure to pre-set values rather than interpreting physiological signals to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like a "cuff pressure controller," "large-scale display," "interaction buttons," "Cuff Pressure Tube with Filter," "Device Mount Solution," and "USB Power Supply and Car Adapter." The performance studies also include electrical safety, EMC, mechanical safety, and human factors testing on the device, not just software. While software verification and validation were conducted, the device is clearly a physical product with integrated software, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, the IntelliCuff device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The IntelliCuff device's intended use is to measure and maintain cuff pressure of an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube in situ during mechanical ventilation. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples or specimens.
- The device description focuses on mechanical and pressure control functions. It describes measuring and maintaining pressure, using room air for inflation, and interacting with a ventilator. There is no mention of analyzing any biological material.
- The performance studies described are related to electrical safety, EMC, human factors, mechanical safety, and software validation. These are typical tests for medical devices that interact directly with a patient or their environment, not for devices that analyze biological samples.
- The predicate device is a "Cuff Regulator," which aligns with the function of maintaining cuff pressure, not performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
Therefore, the IntelliCuff device falls under the category of a medical device used for patient support and management during ventilation, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
The IntelliCuff device continuously measures and automatically maintains cuff pressure during mechanical ventilation of adults, pediatrics, and neonates using a cuffed endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube. It is an integrated and continuous cuff pressure control solution that secures airway management in intensive care units, operating rooms, and during interhospital transport.
When the IntelliCuff device is connected to a Hamilton Medical ventilator, cuff pressure settings can be manually adjusted by either selecting the appropriate values on the ventilator or the cuff pressure controller.
It is designed for immediate use; no calibration or maintenance is required. It operates in the recommended range of desired cuff pressures for various cuffed endotracheal tubes to provide suitable solutions for various clinical patient situations. For inflation, room air is used and no contact to the respiratory gas system of a patient occurs.

VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device(s)
The application of set pressure to seal a cuffed endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube including the supervision and maintenance of a set cuff pressure is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices.
The indication statements for the IntelliCuff device are comparable to those for the predicate devices.
Technological characteristics and performance specifications of the IntelliCuff device are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices. At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- . Inflation and Deflation of an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube
- User-controlled set pressure ●
- . Software-controlled pressure supervision and automatic pressure adjustment
- Use of ambient / room air
- Alarm system ●
- Battery backup power ●
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- . Use of an additional pressure sensor
- The primary predicate device is an ICU ventilator with build-in cuff pressure adjustment . functionality whereas the subject device is a portable device for cuff pressure adjustment only
Hamilton Medical has demonstrated the IntelliCuff device to have adequate performance. The IntelliCuff device is considered to be substantially equivalent to currently marketed predicate devices that have been previously cleared by FDA.
VII. Performance data
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Electrical safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility
Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the IntelliCuff device, consisting of the cuff pressure controller and power supply. The device complies with the IEC 60601-1 standard for safety and the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC.
Additional testing
A Human Factors / Usability Study was conducted and the IntelliCuff device was found to be in conformance with the 'Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff -Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Optimize Medical Device Design'. Additional testing on the IntelliCuff device was conducted according to IEC 60601-1-8, IEC 62366. IEC 60601-1-6 and IEC 62304 standards. Furthermore, a control system analysis was conducted and compliance with applicable clauses of IEC 60601-1-10 was demonstrated. The test results show that the device has adequate performance for its intended use.

Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation testing was conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a 'major' level of concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software could directly result in serious injury or death to the patient or operator.
The results of the software verification and validation testing demonstrate that all specified requirements have been implemented correctly and completely.
Summary
Based on the non-clinical performance as documented, the IntelliCuff device was found to have an adequate performance profile that is similar to the predicate devices.
VIII. Conclusion
The non-clinical test results show that the IntelliCuff device has adequate performance for its intended use and the device performs as intended in the specified use conditions. The hardware and software verification and validation support a determination of substantial equivalence. In addition, the conclusions drawn from the non-clinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs just as well as the predicate devices.
