No
The device description clearly outlines a physical pouch with an integrated connector and valve, indicating it is a hardware device for delivering liquid nutrition.
Based on the provided information, the Trovita Health Science Safe-T Feed™ Ready-to-Feed Pouch with ENFit® Connector is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "deliver liquid nutrition formula to an enteral access device (a feeding tube)." This is a delivery mechanism for nutrition, not a test performed on a sample taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
- Device Description: The description details a pouch and connector for delivering formula. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and functional aspects of the pouch and connector (leakage, flow rate, strength, biocompatibility, usability), not on the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic test.
IVD devices are typically used to test samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions. This device's function is purely for delivering nutrition.

6.2 PREDICATE DEVICE
The Trovita Health Science Safe-T Feed™ Ready-to-Feed Pouch with ENFit® Connector is substantially equivalent to the following devices:
- K150286 Medline Enteral Feeding Sets ●
- K152857 NeoMed NeoConnect™ Enteral Syringes with ENFit® Connector ●
DEVICE DESCRIPTION 6.3
The Trovita Health Science Safe-T Feed™ Ready-to-Feed Pouch with ENFit® Connector consists of a foil pouch with an integrated female ENFit® connector at one end and a hanging ring at the other. A silicone valve is mounted in the inner lumen of the connector to reduce the risk of formula leakage. The outer lumen (spout) of the ENFit® connector is covered with a foil tamperevidence seal. The pouch is designed such that it can be provided pre-filled with Trovita Health Science acidified liquid nutrition formula for tube feeding.
INDICATIONS FOR USE / INTENDED USE 6.4
The Trovita Health Science Safe-T Feed" Ready-to-Feed Pouch with ENFit® Connector is intended to deliver liquid nutrition formula to an enteral access device (a feeding tube).
COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH PREDICATES 6.5
The Trovita Health Science Safe-T Feed™ Ready-to-Feed Pouch with ENFit® Connector is intended to connect to male ENFit® connectors, including temporary transition sets and feeding tube administration sets. The disposable pouch is for single-patient use and is designed such that the user can connect the pouch directly to a feeding tube.
Because the device will be pre-filled with acidified liquid nutrition formula, there is no need to transfer the liquid nutrition to a syringe or feeding bag prior to feeding. The potential for spills during transfer to these intermediate devices is eliminated. The integrated valve in the connector is designed to eliminate the risk of leakage during connection to the feeding tube. The valve does not open until breached by the male ENFit® connector of the feeding tube when connected. Liquid nutrition can be administered by hanging the pouch for gravity feeding or by gently squeezing the pouch to perform a bolus feeding.
The intended use of the subject device and predicate devices are similar in that they each are single-use, disposable devices intended to provide liquid nutrition to a patient via a feeding tube. The subject device is provided non-sterile just as the Medline predicate (K150286) while the NeoMed predicate (K152857) is provided sterile. The principles of operation are the same. Each device employs a female ENFit® connector to connect directly to a male ENFit® connector on a feeding tube or extension set. The subject device differs in that the need to pre-fill the device prior to feeding is eliminated, thus reducing the risk of spills and food contamination.
