The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and functionality of a feeding tube, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is an enteral feeding tube, which administers nutrition and fluids, but does not diagnose, treat, or mitigate a disease or condition itself.
No
The device is an enteral feeding tube, intended for administering nutrition, fluids, and medications. Its function is therapeutic/supportive, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as polyurethane tubing, connectors, and guidewires, indicating it is a hardware medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Cediflo Enteral Feeding Tubes are designed to administer substances (nutrition, fluids, medications) into the body, specifically the stomach or small intestine. They are a delivery system, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states administration of substances for nutritional support, not for diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, the Cediflo Enteral Feeding Tubes fall under the category of a medical device used for treatment and support, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Cediflo and Cediflo Junior Enteral Feeding Tubes are sterile, single use devices intended for use in acute care facilities, long-term care facilities, and home. They are made from radiopaque polyurethane tubing printed with centimeter markings and bonded at the proximal end to a rigid male ENFit connector with a tethered cap. The proposed device is offered in lengths of 50 cm to 120 cm and diameters of 5 Fr (1.66 mm) to 16 Fr (5.33 mm). These tubes are supplied with or without a guidewire. The distal tip of the polyurethane tubing is closed and rounded with four side holes to allow for fluid flow.
The male ENFit connector of the proposed device is designed to comply with ISO 80369-3:2016 and allows for connection to enteral feeding specific sets and syringes while reducing the likelihood of misconnections to devices that are not intended for enteral administration. A twist on cap is tethered to the male ENFit connect via a strap.
The guidewire, when provided, of the proposed device is a stainless-steel braided wire with a rounded distal tip which is pre-loaded into the polyurethane feeding tube. The guidewire stiffens the polyurethane tubing to aide in insertion of the device. The guidewire has a lubricious coating that aids in removal of the guidewire from the feeding tube in situ. A flow through guidewire connector is attached to the proximal end of the guidewire which provides the connection between the wire and feeding tube.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical performance testing was conducted to demonstrate that the Cediflo Enteral Feeding Tubes are substantially equivalent to the predicate device and effective for their intended use. In addition, Cediflo Enteral Feeding Tubes that underwent accelerated aging conditioning were tested to substantiate the product shelf life.
The following tests were performed:
- Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1
- ISO 80369-3:2016 Testing, including:
- Fluid leakage,
- Stress cracking,
- Resistance to separation from axial load,
- Resistance to separation from unscrewing,
- Resistance to overriding,
- Disconnection by unscrewing, and
- Dimensional verification.
- EN 1615:2000 Testing, including:
- Leakage
- Tensile Strength
- Flow Rate with water and commercially available enteral nutrition
- ISO 11070 Testing on included guidewire, including:
- Tensile Strength,
- Fracture Resistance,
- Flexion Resistance.
- Tubing Kink Resistance Testing per EN 13868:2002

Dear Crystal Koelper:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

The distal tip of the polyurethane tubing is closed and rounded with four side holes to allow for fluid flow.
The male ENFit connector of the proposed device is designed to comply with ISO 80369-3:2016 and allows for connection to enteral feeding specific sets and syringes while reducing the likelihood of misconnections to devices that are not intended for enteral administration. A twist on cap is tethered to the male ENFit connect via a strap.

Indicated for neonatal and pediatric patients which require nutritional support, are not able to meet their nutritional requirements by oral intake and have functioning and accessible gastrointestinal tract.
Product Comparison Summary
The proposed and predicate enteral feeding devices are all intended for enteral administration of nutrients, fluids, and/or medications into the alimentary tract via the natural nasoenteric route for use in the same clinical settings. The combined populations of the predicate devices and the proposed device are intended for use in the same patient populations. The use and theory of operation of the proposed and predicate devices are the same regardless of the differences in size of tubes offered and design features. These differences do not alter the intended use of the devices or impact the safety and effectiveness of the devices. Material differences of the proposed device from the predicate device have been successfully evaluated for biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Refer to Table 1 below for a summary of the product comparison.
Non-Clinical Performance Testing
Non-clinical performance testing was conducted to demonstrate that the Cediflo Enteral Feeding Tubes are substantially equivalent to the predicate device and effective for their intended use.
