The summary describes a mechanical fecal management system with no mention of AI or ML technology.
No.
Explanation: A therapeutic device is designed to treat a medical condition or disease. This device is a fecal management system that provides continuous drainage and collection of liquid or semi-liquid stools; it manages a symptom rather than directly treating a medical condition or disease.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "fecal management system that is intended for continuous, trans-anal drainage and collection of liquid or semi-liquid stools." This indicates a therapeutic or management function rather than a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly lists physical components like a catheter, collection bag, syringe, and strap, 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 clearly states it's for "continuous, trans-anal drainage and collection of liquid or semi-liguid stools and to provide access for the administrations." This describes a device used on the patient to manage a physiological process, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to test a sample for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The components described (catheter, collection bag, syringe, etc.) are all consistent with a medical device used for drainage and collection, not for analyzing biological samples.
- No Mention of Diagnostic Testing: There is no mention of analyzing stool samples for diagnostic markers, identifying pathogens, or any other activity typically associated with IVDs.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies listed (Shelf-Life, Leak Tightness, Retention, etc.) are focused on the physical and functional performance of the device itself, not on the accuracy or reliability of diagnostic results.
In summary, the hygh-tec drainage is a medical device used for managing fecal output, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.

Dear Michael Nilo:
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

The following differences between the subject and predicate device were evaluated to support a substantial equivalence determination:
- The filling medium of the retention balloons is different (air vs. water) ●
7
- The materials utilized in the subject and predicate device are different. ●
VII. PERFORMANCE TESTING
The following performance testing was conducted to support substantial equivalence:
Performance Testing
The following design verification activities have been performed to ensure the appropriate functionality of the system:
- Shelf-Life Testing .
- Simulation of Transport Loads ●
- Leak Tightness Testing ●
- Retention Testing ●
- Overfilling Testing ●
- Flow Rate Measurement Testing
Biocompatibility
Biocompatibility testing was conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, 'Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process'."
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
The differences that exist between the hygh-tec drainage and its predicate do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. The results of performance and biocompatibility testing demonstrate that the hygh-tec drainage will perform safely as intended and support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device which is marketed for the same intended use.
