No
The device description focuses on mechanical and optical functions (suction, drainage, transillumination) and does not mention any computational or algorithmic processing, let alone AI/ML. The performance study describes clinical use, not algorithmic validation.
Yes
The device is used in medical procedures for stomach decompression, drainage, and irrigation, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
The device is intended for use in gastric and bariatric surgical procedures for applications such as suction, stomach decompression, drainage of gastric fluids, irrigation, and transillumination to guide stapling. It does not perform any diagnostic function; rather, it is a surgical tool.
No
The device description clearly details a physical, single-use bougie with multiple channels, a light wire, and connectors for suction and a light handle. It is a tangible medical device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The GLG (Gastric Light Guide) is a surgical instrument used during gastric and bariatric procedures. Its functions are suction, stomach decompression, drainage, irrigation, and transillumination to guide stapling. These are all direct interventions on the patient's body, not tests performed on specimens outside the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "Use in gastric and bariatric surgical procedures for the application of suction, stomach decompression and drainage of gastric fluids and irrigation." This describes a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test.
Therefore, the GLG is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
The GLG (Gastric Light Guide) is a multi-channel bougie which allows all functions to be performed with one device and one insertion. The GLG is a single use device that is provided sterile (sterilized using Ethylene Oxide). A light channel runs the full length of the bougie, illuminating the oral cavity and pharynx for proper insertion. The GLG connects to a battery powered light handle that are 510(k) exempt under product codes FSW and HJM. The GLG transilluminates the anterior stomach wall while suction holds it in place, highlighting the shape of the bougie and allowing the surgeon to see the best path for stapling. The GLG is inserted at the beginning of the procedure and not removed until after the leak test. The GLG is composed of a double lumen tube composed of medical grade PVC with holes and an atraumatic tip. There is a blue connector for use with standard suction equipment 36 Fr. The light wire is a 3mm diameter wire composed of PMMA with several cut-outs. The light wire does not make patient contact. There is a black connector 10 Fr for the light wire to be connected to a reusable light handle, battery operated LED light source. There is only one model available GLG001, size 36 Fr and 1000mm in length with a closed lightwire channel. The GLG devices are packaged in paper/film packages of material suitable for ethylene oxide sterilization. The units are sold in carton boxes which contain 6 intermediate boxes of 5 units of GLG each.

There is a black connector 10 Fr for the light wire to be connected to a reusable light handle, battery operated LED light source.
There is only one model available GLG001, size 36 Fr and 1000mm in length with a closed lightwire channel.
Substantial Equivalence Comparison
The GLG Gastric Light Guide is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed class II medical devices under Product Codes KNT. Specifically, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the ViSiGi 3D (K130483).
The GLG has the identical indications for use as the ViSiGi 3D exception for "serve as a sizing guide". The GLG is not used as a sizing guide.
Both the GLG and ViSiGi 3D are available in size 36 Fr and are of similar lengths (100cm compared to 107cm).
The main differences between the GLG and ViSiGi 3D are:
- The subject device has a second lumen with a lightwire for illumination. -
- The subject device is provided sterile whereas the ViSiGi 3D is provided non-sterile. Both । devices are for single patient usage.
- -The subject device is composed of PVC as opposed to predicate is composed of thermoplastic Elastomer (Styrene-Ethylene – Butylene – Styrene) tube with LDPE valve connector.
The Innervision transillumination light bougie system (K964561) is also being included as a reference device for the illumination function. The transillumination system is available in 40 Fr, 50 Fr, and 56 Fr and can be connected to a commercially available light source. The GLG can also be connected to a commercially available light source.
This difference does not raise different questions of safety or efficacy. The GLG is as safe and effective as its predicate device.

Conclusions
The Nasmed GLG is as safe and effective as the predicate and reference devices. The Nasmed GLG has similar indications for use (except not used for sizing). The device has the same principles of operation and technological characteristics, as the predicate devices. There are only minor differences that do not alter its therapeutic purpose or raise new issues of safety or effectiveness, and performance data demonstrate that the GLG is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The non-clinical testing performed demonstrate that the subject device is as safe and effective and performs at as safely and effectively as the predicate device. Furthermore the usability study demonstrates successful usage in 112 surgeries. Thus, the GLG is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
