No
The device description focuses on mechanical and magnetic components for tube placement and does not mention any computational or learning algorithms.
No.
This device is for facilitating enteral feeding and does not directly provide therapy.
No
The device is a feeding tube, which is a therapeutic device used to deliver nutrition. While its placement is verified by diagnostic methods (pH paper and X-ray), the device itself does not diagnose a condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly details physical components such as a feeding tube, balloon, stylet, wires, reed switch, magnets, and an external LED/battery pack. It also describes physical tests performed on these components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Gabriel Feeding Tube with balloon is a device that is inserted into the body to deliver nutrients directly to the small bowel. It is a therapeutic device used for feeding, not a diagnostic device used for testing bodily specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it "functions as a conduit to facilitate enteral feeding."
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and mechanism of insertion and feeding, not on analyzing biological samples.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies listed are related to the physical properties and functionality of the tube (flexibility, flow rate, tensile strength, etc.), not on the accuracy of diagnostic measurements.
While the device description mentions using pH paper and abdominal x-ray for placement verification, these are external diagnostic tools used in conjunction with the device, not part of the device itself as an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Gabriel Feeding Tube with balloon functions as a conduit to facilitate enteral feeding, and may be used in adult or elderly patients who cannot consume an adequate diet orally. Small bowel feeding may be indicated for patients with functioning gut who require short to moderate term feeding support, such as post-trauma patients, general trauma patients, high-risk patients prone to tube misplacement complications, and patients in whom malmutrition exist, or may result, secondary to an underlying disease or condition.

Device Description
The Gabriel Feeding Tube with Balloon serves as a conduit through which enteral feeding solutions are directly infused into the patients small bowel. During placement of the tube, a lubricant and or numbing gel is applied to the nostril.
For the version of the tube with stylet with magnetic tips, an external magnet is used to assist the physician in placing the tube into the small bowel. Like the predicate device, the modified device has a stylet with a reed switch positioned near its distal tip. The reed switch is connected by wires to an external LED/battery pack that lights in response to the presence of the external steering magnet. The reed switch is encased in a lead-free glass tube and metal shield and is attached to the distal end of the stylet. The wires used to connect the distal reed switch to the LED are polyurethane insulated copper and are wrapped around the core of the stylet and contained inside the outer PTFE layer, thus keeping it out of the fluid path. The distal tip of the stylet contains magnets which are attracted to the steering magnet. The inflated feeding tube balloon allows peristalsis to advance the feeding tube distally.
For the version of the tube with the non-magnetic stylet, the tube is manually inserted by the physician. The stylet, is non patient contacting, made out of seven braided filaments 305 stainless steel wire and is 3 cm shorter than the feeding tube.
The stylet is removed and tube taped at the nose and placement verified by pH paper and abdominal x-ray. Like the predicate device, the modified Gabriel Feeding Tube with Balloon has a stylet. The inflated feeding tube balloon allows peristalsis to advance the feeding tube distally.
The external tube is extruded over reinforcing monofilament stainless steel wire that prevents occlusion by kinking. The outer patient contacting layer is made from DEHP-free PVC.

A.6 Legally Marketed Device To Which The Device Is Substantially Equivalent
Predicate Device
Syncro Blue Tube Magnetically Guided Enteral Feeding Tube (K110005)
Reference Device
Rusch Miller-Abbott Tube (K010797).
A.7 Description Of The Device
The Gabriel Feeding Tube with Balloon serves as a conduit through which enteral feeding solutions are directly infused into the patients small bowel. During placement of the tube, a lubricant and or numbing gel is applied to the nostril.
For the version of the tube with stylet with magnetic tips, an external magnet is used to assist the physician in placing the tube into the small bowel. Like the predicate device, the modified device has a stylet with a reed switch positioned near its distal tip. The reed switch is connected by wires to an external LED/battery pack that lights in response to the presence of the external steering magnet. The reed switch is encased in a lead-free glass tube and metal shield and is attached to the distal end of the stylet. The wires used to connect the distal reed switch to the LED are polyurethane insulated copper and are wrapped around the core of the stylet and contained inside the outer PTFE layer, thus keeping it out of the fluid path. The distal tip of the stylet contains magnets which are attracted to the steering magnet. The inflated feeding tube balloon allows peristalsis to advance the feeding tube distally.
For the version of the tube with the non-magnetic stylet, the tube is manually inserted by the physician. The stylet, is non patient contacting, made out of seven braided filaments 305 stainless steel wire and is 3 cm shorter than the feeding tube.
The stylet is removed and tube taped at the nose and placement verified by pH paper and abdominal x-ray. Like the predicate device, the modified Gabriel Feeding Tube with Balloon has a stylet. The inflated feeding tube balloon allows peristalsis to advance the feeding tube distally.
The external tube is extruded over reinforcing monofilament stainless steel wire that prevents occlusion by kinking. The outer patient contacting layer is made from DEHP-free PVC.
A.8 Intended Use
The Gabriel Feeding Tube with balloon functions as a conduit to facilitate enteral feeding, and may be used in adult or elderly patients who cannot consume an adequate diet orally. Small bowel feeding may be indicated for patients with functioning gut who require short to moderate term feeding support, such as post-trauma patients, general trauma patients, high-risk patients prone to tube misplacement complications, and patients in whom malnutrition exist, or may result, secondary to an underlying disease or condition.
