Intended Use

The NutriGlide™ Nasal Feeding Tube is indicated for the administration of nutrition, fluids, and medications in neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients.

Device Description

The Nutriglide™ Nasal Feeding Tube is a nasal feeding tube available in both sterile and non-sterile ENFit® and legacy configurations featuring a y-port, widening lumen diameter, dissolvable tube tip, and optional stylet with water activated lubricous coating. The device is identical between the ENFit® and legacy configurations but for the y-port which will feature either ENFit® adapters or the legacy ports. Both configurations feature tubing with a unique taper design where the lumen gradually increases from the proximal end (external) to the distal opening (indwelling). This design creates a tube that is smaller near the external y-port and gradually increases to its largest diameter at the distal tip opening where the nutrition/medication exists into the patient's stomach or small intestine. The lubricious dissolvable tip offers increased comfort during placement on the various configurations of both the ENFit® and legacy devices, and then once dissolved it reveals the entire rounded distal opening of the tube, allowing for maximum flow during feeding.

The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and material properties of the feeding tube, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Therapeutic

No.
The device is indicated for administration of nutrition, fluids, and medications, which are supportive functions rather than direct treatment or therapy for a disease or condition.

Diagnostic

Explanation: The NutriGlide™ Nasal Feeding Tube is indicated for the administration of nutrition, fluids, and medications. It functions to deliver substances into the patient, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device description clearly details a physical medical device (a nasal feeding tube) with various hardware components and features, not a software-only product.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

Intended Use: The intended use is for the "administration of nutrition, fluids, and medications." This is a therapeutic or supportive function, not a diagnostic one.
Device Description: The description details a physical tube designed for delivering substances into the body. It does not describe any components or processes related to analyzing samples from the body to diagnose a condition.
Lack of Diagnostic Language: The document does not use any language typically associated with IVDs, such as "diagnosis," "detection," "measurement," "analysis of samples," "in vitro," etc.
Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf life, and bench testing related to the physical function of the tube. There are no studies related to diagnostic accuracy or performance.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. The NutriGlide™ Nasal Feeding Tube is a medical device used for delivering substances into the body, not for analyzing substances from the body.

As outlined above, minor differences exist among the nasal tube and the predicate devices. These differences include:

Tapered tubing: The subject device configurations feature tubing that is tapered to increase in diameter from the proximal to the distal end of the device whereas the predicate device configurations are straight tubes.
Dissolvable tip: Configurations of the subject device feature a tip that dissolves completely, exposing the entire lumen of the distal portion of the tubing, whereas the configurations of the predicates feature a permanent tip component with exit holes.

These design differences between the Nutriglide™ Nasal Feeding Tube (subject device), and the predicates (K821906 and K831328) do not raise different questions of safety and/or effectiveness from the predicate devices. The intended use and indications for use remain the identical between the Nutriglide™M Nasal Feeding Tube and the predicate devices.
