Intended Use
The Kangaroo™ Feeding Tube with IRIS Technology utilizes a video stream to aid a trained user during placement into the stomach or small bowels for the administration of nutrition, fluids, and medications by the naso-enteric route for patients aged 18 years and older who have an intact gastrointestinal tract, but are physically unable to manage nutritional intake through normal mastication and deglutition. Prior to commencing administration, confirm correct tube placement per institutional protocol. Placement of the tip of the device into the small bowel should only be attempted by clinicians with expertise in small bowel placement.
Device Description
The Kangaroo™ Feeding Tube with IRIS Technology is a small-bore nasogastric enteral access catheter. The gastrointestinal tube includes an external proximal access port for connection to enteral feeding sets and to syringes with ENFit connector. The tubing is constructed with a radiopaque material and with a hydrophilic coating to assist with insertion of the tube. The stylet is made of specially designed metal wire, which may be utilized to assist with tube placement. The tube is equipped with external markings in units of centimeters to assist in estimating the length of tube inserted into the alimentary tract. The device may be connected to a console, which allows for viewing a video stream and capture of camera images an interface cable connects the feeding tube to the console. LED light is incorporated into the distal tip of the tube and the light will power on only when properly connected to the console with the interface cable.

No
The summary describes a video stream and image capture capability but does not mention any analysis or processing of this data using AI or ML. The performance studies focus on electrical safety, mechanical properties, and optical performance, not algorithmic performance.

No.
The device facilitates the administration of nutrition, fluids, and medications, but it does not directly treat a disease or medical condition.

No

The device's intended use is for the administration of nutrition, fluids, and medications, and it uses a video stream to aid in tube placement, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a feeding tube, stylet, console, interface cable, and LED light, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated technology, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Kangaroo™ Feeding Tube with IRIS Technology is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in the placement of a feeding tube into the stomach or small bowels for the administration of nutrition, fluids, and medications. This is a procedural device used for direct intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical tube with a camera and light to visualize the internal anatomy during insertion. It's a tool for guiding a medical procedure.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition. The video stream is used for visualization during placement, not for diagnosis.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.
