Intended Use

The Pediatric Nasogastric Feeding Tubes - Single ENFit Port are intended for enteral feeding to deliver nutrition, fluids, and medications to the patient from an enteral feeding syringe or feeding set designed with ENFit connectors for enteral applications. This product is single use for no longer than 29 days.

The Pediatric Nasogastric Feeding Tubes – Single ENFit Ports are intended for hydration, feeding and administration of oral medications for pediatric patients who require enteral feeding. This product is single use for no longer than 29 days.

Device Description

The Pediatric Nasogastric Feeding Tubes – Single ENFit Port are sterile, single use devices. The feeding tubes consist of a graduated Polyurethane tube, with radiopaque edge. The tubes have a closed tip and 2 lateral eyes. The tubes have at the other end an ENFit male connector in ABS with its Polypropylene cap. A tether in thermoplastic polyurethane connects the ENFit connector to its cap. The ENFit connector allows the device to be connected to female enteral devices that have an ISO 80369-3 compliant connector. The feeding tubes are available in 40mm, 60mm and 90mm lengths and in French sizes from 4 to 12.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Pediatric Nasogastric Feeding Tubes - Single ENFit Port. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting a study of an AI-powered diagnostic device.

Therefore, the information required to answer the questions about acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria for an AI diagnostic device is not present in the provided text. The document details performance testing for a physical medical device (nasogastric feeding tubes), not an AI algorithm.

Specifically:

  • There is no AI device described.
  • There are no acceptance criteria for AI performance (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity).
  • There is no mention of a test set, training set, ground truth acquisition involving experts, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance.

The "Performance Testing" section (pages 9-10) describes non-clinical tests performed on the physical feeding tubes, such as biocompatibility, pressure leak testing, tensile testing, and connector performance tests against various ISO standards. It explicitly states, "Clinical tests were not required to demonstrate performance... Product functionality has been adequately assessed by non-clinical tests." and "Animal tests were not required... Product functionality has been adequately assessed by non-animal tests."

Dear Glenn Brunner:

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. You must comply with all the Act's

{1}------------------------------------------------

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

Animal tests were not required to demonstrate the performance of the Pediatric Nasogastric Feeding Tubes – Single ENFit Port. Product functionality has been adequately assessed by non-animal tests.

IX. Conclusion

The conclusions drawn from the non-clinical tests demonstrate that the Pediatric Nasogastric Feeding Tubes - Single ENFit Port are substantially equivalent, and as safe and effective as the legally marketed devices identified in part III, "Legally Marketed Predicate Devices" of this section.

§ 876.5980 Gastrointestinal tube and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A gastrointestinal tube and accessories is a device that consists of flexible or semi-rigid tubing used for instilling fluids into, withdrawing fluids from, splinting, or suppressing bleeding of the alimentary tract. This device may incorporate an integral inflatable balloon for retention or hemostasis. This generic type of device includes the hemostatic bag, irrigation and aspiration catheter (gastric, colonic, etc.), rectal catheter, sterile infant gavage set, gastrointestinal string and tubes to locate internal bleeding, double lumen tube for intestinal decompression or intubation, feeding tube, gastroenterostomy tube, Levine tube, nasogastric tube, single lumen tube with mercury weight balloon for intestinal intubation or decompression, and gastro-urological irrigation tray (for gastrological use).(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The barium enema retention catheter and tip with or without a bag that is a gastrointestinal tube and accessory or a gastronomy tube holder accessory is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I (general controls) for the dissolvable nasogastric feed tube guide for the nasogastric tube. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 876.9.
