No
The summary describes a physical device with a temperature sensor and a mobile app for data upload and tracking, but there is no mention of AI or ML being used for data analysis, interpretation, or decision-making.

Yes

The device is intended to aid in weight management in overweight to obese individuals, which addresses a health condition.

No

The device is intended to aid in weight management and monitors usage, not to diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "oral removable palatal space occupying device that includes a temperature recording sensor" and a "Palatal Mold Kit," indicating it includes physical hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the SmartByte device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • SmartByte Function: The SmartByte device is an oral, removable palatal device that physically occupies space in the mouth and includes a temperature sensor to monitor usage. It aids in weight management through a physical mechanism and behavioral modification, not by analyzing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in weight management in overweight to obese individuals, not to diagnose or detect a disease or condition through in vitro analysis.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical device, its placement in the mouth, and a sensor for usage monitoring. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the SmartByte device falls outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Verification and Validation Activities

Software verification and validation was performed and results demonstrated that the SmartByte and SmartByte added mobile software application (SmartByte App) are appropriate for release. In addition, the company completed testing per IEC 60950-1 for the added Bluetooth connection.

Conclusions

The subject SmartByte device is substantially equivalent to the predicate SMART device, with the same intended use and indications and minor technological differences. The conversion of the software platform to a mobile medical application with a wireless Reader does not raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions. The confirmatory software verification and validation testing, as well as testing to IEC 60950-1, further demonstrates that the device performs as intended and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
