No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and functional aspects of an enteral feeding device, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes.
The device delivers nutrition directly into the stomach for patients unable to consume food conventionally, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is intended for delivering nutrition directly to the stomach, not for diagnosing medical conditions. While a measuring kit is used to determine the length of the stoma, this is a placement measurement, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a gastric port, external and internal bumpers, and a replaceable tube. The performance studies also involve bench testing and animal testing, which are indicative of a physical medical device. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
Based on the provided text, the Fidmi Low Profile Enteral Feeding Device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide nutrition directly into the stomach. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a physical tube and associated components for delivering substances into the body. It does not involve analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to detect, measure, or analyze any substance or marker within the body or in a sample from the body for diagnostic purposes.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The Fidmi device's function is to facilitate feeding, which is a form of treatment or support, not diagnosis.

Device Description
The Fidmi Low Profile Enteral Feeding Device and its components kits allow for enteral nutrition and / or medication delivery directly into the stomach. The device and components are supplied sterile.
Fidmi Medical's Low-Profile Enteral Feeding Device includes kits for initial placement of the tube, and complete removal of the gastrostomy tubes.
Fidmi Low-Profile Enteral Feeding Device incorporates three major components:
The Stoma Measuring Device – The Fidmi Medical Stoma Measuring Device is a single use, sterile, disposable device designed for use in the selection of an appropriate length of the Feeding Device to be used exclusively with the Fidmi Low-Profile Enteral Feeding Device.
Low Profile Enteral Feeding Device - The Low Profile Enteral Feeding Device consists of a gastric port that on one side (on the skin surface) includes the flexible external bumper that stabilizes the stoma and keeps the site dry and allows ventilation. On the other side (the stomach side), it includes the bumper that is designed to stay in place and to be dismantled apart for removal when enteral feeding is no longer required.
The Replacement Feeding Tube – The replaceable tubing is designed to be easily replaced when needed. The replacement tube is designed as an internal component that may be retracted, disposed and replaced without any manipulation to the device itself, i.e., the gastrostomy tube implant. It is designed to be replaced by personnel at a medical facility or at a home setting. As depicted in the instructions for use document supplied with the device, it is recommended to replace the tube either upon accidental dislodgement, clogging or once a week.

The information presented in this submission to support substantial equivalence of the Fidmi Low-Profile Enteral Feeding Device and components to the legally marketed predicate device include device description, indications for use, technological and material comparison, as well as labeling. Bench testing of the Fidmi Low-Profile Enteral Feeding Device and components demonstrates that the device performs as intended and is substantially equivalent. Specifically, the following bench tests were used to establish substantial equivalence:
- Back Flow and Liquid Leakage,
- Dimensional Attributes,
- Functional Evaluation,
- Replaceable Tube & Extension Tube Detachment Force,
- Flow Rate,
- . Bond Strength,
- . Feeding Device Pullout Force,
- . Packaging Integrity and Shelf life Testing, and
- Animal testing.
Fidmi Medical Ltd. has assessed the similarities between the proposed Fidmi Medical Low-Profile Enteral Feeding Device and components, its predicate and reference devices in terms of intended use and technological characteristics while demonstrating the device to be safe and effective as the predicate and reference device(s). The differences in the technological characteristics were found to be minor and do not present any new issues of safety or effectiveness. This evidence supports substantial equivalence between the subject and predicate device, as well as the reference device.
9. CONCLUSION
Fidmi Medical Ltd. has demonstrated that the proposed Fidmi Medical Enteral Feeding Device and components are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed EndoVive™ One-Step Button™ and replacement tube cleared under K161003.
