No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical device for fecal management and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities. The performance studies focus on physical properties and MRI compatibility.
No.
The device manages fecal incontinence, which is a supportive function and not a treatment for a disease or condition.
No.
The device is described as a fecal management system for diverting stool from bedridden patients, with no mention of diagnosing conditions or analyzing patient data for diagnostic purposes. Its function is purely for physical management of feces.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like an indwelling diverter, external transit sheath, and collection bag, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "fecal management by diverting liquid or semi-formed stool to minimize skin contact with bedridden patients." This is a physical management of waste, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description details a physical device (indwelling diverter, transit sheath, collection bag) designed to collect and manage stool. While it mentions a port for "sample collection," the primary function is not diagnostic testing of that sample.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical characteristics like dimensional force testing and MRI compatibility, not on the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic test.
Therefore, the Qora® Stool Management Kit is a medical device for managing fecal incontinence, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
Similar to the predicate device, the modified device is a non-sterile, single-use device intended to use for the management of fecal incontinence in bedridden patients. The device consists of an indwelling diverter, an external transit sheath, and an external collection bag. The kit also includes a collection bag hanger and a transit sheath clamp.
The self-conforming indwelling fecal diverter, which is provided pre-loaded into a hygienic applicator used to deploy inside the rectum, remains in place by apposition to the rectal wall when deployed. The transit sheath acts as a conduit to facilitate the transfer of fecal matter from the indwelling diverter to the collection bag. The device includes three ports attached to the transit sheath, to facilitate irrigating of the indwelling divery, sample collection, and to allow withdrawal in a trauma-free manner.

Table 2: A summary of equivalence between the modified and the predicate device is given below:
Note 1: MR testing of the modified device was performed by the same independent laboratory, following the same applicable ASTM standards and US FDA guidance document, (Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the MR environment, May 2021), as those for the predicate device. The test results of the modified device were found to be within the same acceptable range for Conditional usage as those cleared for Qora AIM™ SMK under K153506.
Description of Change
No design change has been made that would alter the technology used in the modified device. However, to improve manufacturability, and due to raw material availability, the stainless-steel wire in the indwelling diverter has been modified. This new wire allows the diameter to be increased by a small amount (0.09mm) without impacting the patient safety or device functionality, as demonstrated from the non-clinical tests performed.
The name of the product has been changed to Qora Stool Management Kit for marketing purposes. Corresponding label changes have been made to the Instructions For Use to reflect the name change and updated MR conditions. The labeling is in compliance with the US FDA guidance document, Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the MR environment, May 2021.

Summary of Non-clinical Testing
Validation and verification testing, primarily dimensional force testing, identical to that performed on the original device, were performed on the modified device/components to ensure that the performance of the modified device is equivalent to the performance of the predicate device met all previous device specifications for the predicate device.
No additional biocompatibility testing was required by the modification of the diverter wire. Other minor changes did not involve patient contact materials.
Conclusions from Nonclinical Testing
The Qora® Stool Management Kit is fundamentally equivalent in design and function to the predicate device, the Qora AIM™ Stool Management Kit.
Qora® Stool Management Kit incorporates the similarities with the predicate device, the Qora AIM™ Stool Management Kit as shown in the above comparison table. The few differences, including this described modification, do not new issues of safety or effectiveness.
In summary, Qora® Stool Management Kit described in this substantially equivalent to the predicate Qora AIMTM Stool Management Kit.
