The summary mentions a "proprietary algorithm" and "detects the acoustic biomarker MH4 and quantifies the number of MH4 detections," but there is no explicit mention of AI, ML, or related terms, nor is there any description of training or test sets which are typical for ML-based devices. The function described appears to be based on a predefined threshold and acoustic detection, not adaptive learning.
No.
The device is used to assess digestive health by capturing and analyzing digestive sounds. It displays information to assist physicians in assessment, but does not provide therapy or treatment.
Yes
The device is described as assisting physicians in "assessing the digestive health of patients" and determining "the presence of abnormal digestive health," which are diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly states it includes hardware components such as a stethoscope diaphragm, sound chamber, embedded microphone and CPU, display screen, and buttons. It is a physical, self-contained unit.
Based on the provided information, the PrevisEA device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. This typically includes blood, urine, tissue, etc.
- PrevisEA is a non-invasive device placed on the abdomen. It captures sounds from within the body, but it doesn't analyze a sample taken from the body.
- The device description focuses on capturing and analyzing acoustic signals (digestive sounds). This is a physical measurement, not a chemical or biological analysis of a sample.
Therefore, PrevisEA falls under the category of a non-invasive medical device that uses acoustic analysis to assess digestive health.

Device Description
PrevisEA is a non-invasive, self-contained, medical device with a proprietary algorithm used to assess the digestive health of patients. The device includes a stethoscope diaphragm, sound chamber, embedded microphone and CPU, as well as a display screen and buttons. The PrevisEA device is a convenient, single-use, disposable unit, which attaches to the abdomen of the patient via an adhesive wafer on the back of the device. The PrevisEA is a single-use, disposable unit, which avoids the need for cleaning and disinfection.
The PrevisEA requires no cable connections for operation of the device. Integration of the above components allow auscultation and digital capture of digestive sounds, such as MH4.
Messages are transmitted to the easy-to-read display screen on the front of the device. The PrevisEA detects the acoustic biomarker MH4 and quantifies the number of MH4 detections over a 4-minute interval, which it compares to a predefined threshold to determine the presence of abnormal digestive health in patients following intestinal surgery, such as gastrointestinal impairment (GII).

Dear Adam Harris:
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

Table 2: Summary of Technological Characteristics Compared to the Predicate Device
5.3 Biocompatibility Testing
Biocompatibility tests were conducted with the PrevisEA Device according to ISO 10993-1:2018 Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process. These studies demonstrated the PrevisEA Device is biocompatible.
5.4 Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Electrical product safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and battery safety testing were performed for the PrevisEA Device. All testing met acceptance criteria and demonstrated the PrevisEA Device to be safe and electromagnetically compatible.
ર્સ્ડ Clinical Testing - PrevisEA Optimization Trial
Clinical data was submitted in support of this 510k Premarket Notification. Clinical testing demonstrated the PrevisEA Device accomplishes its intended use. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03505476
75 subjects undergoing intestinal resection surgery had PrevisEA applied at the completion of surgery.
This study demonstrated the capability of the PrevisEA Device in listening/capturing the acoustic biomarker, MH4 while in clinical use (attached to patient abdomens).
5.6 Conclusion
Since the comparison of bench testing to clinical outcomes is still not well understood for this type of device, clinical testing was required to support substantial equivalence.
9
The clinical data submitted validates the intended use of the PrevisEA Device. The nonclinical data support the safety and effectiveness of the device, and the bench demonstrates the device meets its own specifications. The hardware and software verification and validation demonstrate that the PrevisEA device performs as intended in the specified use conditions. Though there are minor differences in technological characteristics, the data provided in this submission and the comparisons demonstrate these differences do not raise new questions of safety and efficacy. It is the conclusion of the sponsor that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices.
