No
The device description and performance studies indicate a purely mechanical device for measuring and inflating cuff pressure, with no mention of AI or ML components.
No.
The device is a hand-held manometer and bulb used to check and inflate the cuff pressure of endotracheal or tracheostomy tubes. It is a diagnostic and inflation device, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
The device measures intra-cuff pressure, which provides information about the patient's physiological state (the pressure in the cuff of an endotracheal/tracheostomy tube). Maintaining optimal cuff pressure is crucial for patient safety and effective ventilation, and deviations can indicate potential issues requiring intervention. While it also inflates, its primary role in measuring and displaying a physiological parameter qualifies it as diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a pressure gauge/manometer, a bulb, a Luer connector, and an air release valve. The performance studies also focus on mechanical testing and bench testing of these physical components.
Based on the provided information, the TRACOE® cuff pressure monitor is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- TRACOE® cuff pressure monitor Function: The TRACOE® cuff pressure monitor directly interacts with a medical device (endotracheal/tracheostomy tube cuff) to measure and adjust pressure. It does not analyze any biological specimens from the patient.
Therefore, the TRACOE® cuff pressure monitor falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The TRACOE® cuff pressure monitor (cpm) inflates or measures the intra-cuff pressure in the range of 20 – 100 cmH2O. It is intended for endotracheal or tracheostomy tubes with high-volume low-pressure (HVLP) cuffs.
The cpm consists of a pressure gauge/manometer and a bulb. Between the manometer and the bulb is a male Luer connector air outlet which is connected to the (pilot balloon valve) of the endotracheal/tracheostomy tube HVLP cuff. Opposite the Luer connector is an integrated air release valve that can be opened and closed with a knurled screw.
To inflate the HVLP cuff, the male Luer connector of the cpm is inserted into the inflation line (pilot balloon valve) of the endotracheal/tracheostomy tube, HVLP cuff and the knurled screw is closed, the bulb is then squeezed to inflate the HVLP cuff. As the pressure increases in the HVLP cuff the pressure value is displayed on the manometer. Once the cuff is inflated to the required cuff pressure the cpm is disconnected from the inflation line (pilot balloon valve).
To measure the HVLP cuff pressure, the knurled screw is closed and the male Luer connector is inserted into the open end of the cuff inflation line. The manometer will display the current HVLP cuff pressure. If the pressure is too low the bulb can be squeezed to inflate the cuff, or if the pressure is too high the knurled screw can be opened to release the cuff pressure. Once the required cuff pressure is achieved the cpm is disconnected from the inflation line (pilot balloon valve).
The TRACOE® cuff pressure monitor can be used for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. It is reusable and provided non-sterile. A sterile connection tube (REF 702, 1.0 m) is supplied with the TRACOE® cpm which provides an extension tube for inflating or measuring cuff pressure. The TRACOE® cuff pressure monitor is not suitable for continuous monitoring of HVLP cuff pressure.

The TRACOE® cuff pressure monitor intended use is similar to the predicate device. This difference in the intended use is not considered critical and does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device:
| Difference | Assessment |
|---|---|
| In addition to the cpm, the Predicate Device can | |
| also be used for bronchial tubes and laryngeal | |
| masks. | The reduced intended use of the TRACOE® cpm |
| does not affect the safety or effectiveness in | |
| endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes. | |
| The Predicate Device claims accuracy over a larger | |
| pressure range. | The pressure range claimed for the TRACOE® cpm |
| includes the clinically relevant range of 20 – 30 | |
| cmH2O. |
The similarities in design and technology are the basis and reason for substantial equivalence of the TRACOE® cuff pressure monitor to the legally marketed predicate devices.
Summary of Non-clinical testing
Performance and mechanical testing was performed with clear acceptance criteria that addressed design, performance, and functionality of the device. In addition, predicate device comparison testing was performed which demonstrated substantial equivalence between the TRACOE® cuff pressure monitor to the legally marketed predicate devices. This testing included:
- Mechanical testing confirmed Luer connections in accordance with ISO 594-1
- Bench testing included cuff filling, pressure accuracy, and the ability to maintain pressure.
- Comparison testing with the predicate device, Endotest (K951046), included accuracy of pressure readings
- Connection tube: sterilization (including sterilant residuals), simulated distribution and packaging validation in accordance with ISO 11135, ISO 11737-1 and ISO 10993-7.
- The device has been validated to a pressure range of 20 - 100 cm H₂O.
The results of the non-clinical testing demonstrate that the TRACOE® cuff pressure monitor is
6
substantially equivalent to the legally cleared predicate device.
Summary of Clinical testing
Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
Conclusion
The TRACOE® cuff pressure monitor has passed all defined criteria. The device has performed as well or better than the predicate device and is therefore considered substantially equivalent to the cleared predicate device.
