No
The description focuses solely on the mechanical function of the device for cell collection and retrieval. There is no mention of any computational analysis, image processing, or algorithms that would suggest the use of AI/ML.
No
The device is indicated for the collection and retrieval of surface cells of the esophagus for diagnostic processing and analysis, not for treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is designed for the collection and retrieval of esophogeal surface cells. While the collected specimen is intended for "diagnostic processing and analysis", the device itself does not perform any diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical, single-use disposable balloon capsule catheter and its associated hardware components for cell collection. The performance studies also focus on the physical characteristics and functionality of this hardware.
Based on the provided information, the EsoCheck CCD Cell Collection Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device itself.
Here's why:
- The device's function is collection: The description clearly states that the device is used for the "collection and retrieval of surface cells of the esophagus." It is a tool for obtaining a biological sample.
- The diagnostic processing happens after collection: The description mentions that "The specimen is then sent for diagnostic processing and analysis." This indicates that the diagnostic step is separate from the device itself and is performed on the collected sample.
- IVD devices perform the diagnostic test: IVD devices are designed to perform tests on biological samples in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information. The EsoCheck device does not perform any diagnostic test; it only collects the sample for later testing.
Think of it like a blood collection tube. A blood collection tube is essential for obtaining a blood sample, but it's not an IVD device. The IVD device is the instrument or test kit that analyzes the blood in the tube.
Therefore, the EsoCheck CCD Cell Collection Device is a sample collection device that is used in conjunction with a subsequent diagnostic process.

Device Description
The Lucid Diagnostics EsoCheckTM CCD Cell Collection Device is a sterile single-use disposable non-endoscopic balloon capsule catheter designed to collect and retrieve surface cells of the esophagus. The balloon capsule is attached to a catheter and swallowed with the balloon deflated and inverted. Once positioned, the balloon is inflated and withdrawn allowing its textured surface to swab the surface of the targeted segment of the esophagus, retrieving cells in the process. The balloon is then deflated, retracting it along with the retrieved cells on its surface into the capsule, where they are protected from dilution or contamination as the capsule is fully withdrawn from the patient. The balloon is cut from the capsule and placed in the desired specimen container. The specimen is then sent for diagnostic processing and analysis.
The EsoCheck CCD Cell Collection Device has been designed as a non-endoscopic cell sampling device intended to be used in the esophagus to obtain surface cells from the esophageal mucosa for cytologic analysis. The EsoCheck CCD Cell Collection Device accomplishes the equivalent of other previously cleared balloon devices and endoscopic brush devices to obtain surface cells from the mucosal lining of the esophagus without the patient having to go through an endoscopic procedure. The distal balloon, smaller than an adult sized vitamin pill, is swallowed by the patient and tethered by a catheter. When the deflated balloon reaches the patients stomach it is inflated and withdrawn into the patient's esophagus bringing the textured balloon surface in contact with the mucosal surface of the esophagus. With the balloon in the inflated position, it is manually withdrawn from the esophagus. This allows the textured surface on the balloon to swab the surface of the esophagus to collect the target cells. The cells then adhere to the balloon surface. Using simple syringe vacuum, the balloon is slowly deflated and inverted into the capsule and removed from the patient. Once the balloon and capsule are out of the patient, the balloon is slowly inflated to re-expose the textured surface that holds the cell sample, and the balloon is cut from the capsule and deposited in the desired specimen container for cytopathologic processing.

§ 874.4710 Esophagoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories.
(a)
Identification. An esophagoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the esophagoscope and is intended to examine or treat esophageal malfunction symptoms, esophageal or mediastinal disease, or to remove foreign bodies from the esophagus. When inserted, the device extends from the area of the hypopharynx to the stomach. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the flexible foreign body claw, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy brush, rigid biopsy forceps and flexible biopsy curette, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.(b)

Dear Janice M. Hogan:
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. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit/tray. 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.
