The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical, biocompatibility, and sterilization aspects, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is described as an intrauterine balloon tamponade intended to provide temporary control or reduction of postpartum uterine bleeding, directly addressing a health condition.
No
The device is described as an intrauterine balloon tamponade device intended to provide temporary control or reduction of postpartum uterine bleeding. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical intrauterine balloon tamponade device made of thermoplastic elastomer and polyvinyl chloride, which are hardware components.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide temporary control or reduction of postpartum uterine bleeding." This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a physical balloon inserted into the uterus to apply pressure. It does not involve analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to in vitro diagnostics, such as reagents, assays, sample preparation, or analysis of biological markers.
The ELLAVI UBT device is a therapeutic medical device used to manage a physical condition (postpartum bleeding).
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ELLAVI UBT device is intended to provide temporary control or reduction of postpartum uterine bleeding when conservative management is warranted.

Device Description
The ELLAVI UBT is an 18 cm long intrauterine balloon tamponade device primarily comprised of thermoplastic elastomer. The balloon and internal tubing are made of thermoplastic elastomer, while the exterior tubing is made of polyvinyl chloride. A supply bag is the filled, connected, and hung at a pre-determined height based on the patient's systolic blood pressure. The device consists of a balloon that is inserted into the uterus transvaginally into the postpartum uterus after delivery and removal of the placenta. A valve is then opened, and this allows the fluid to inflate the balloon and apply pressure to achieve a hemostatic effect.

The Indications for Use statement for the ELLAVI UBT is identical to the predicate device, except for the additional component included in the predicate device. Both the subject and predicate devices have the same intended use - for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding when conservative management is warranted.
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- . Design: The subject device expands to fill the entire uterine cavity and does not have a drain tube, whereas the predicate device has a single opening drain tube protruding out of the middle of the inflated balloon. The shape and size of the balloon are different.
- Materials: The patient contacting portions of the subject device is made of ● thermoplastic elastomer (balloon and internal tubing), while the predicate device is made of silicone.
These differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Non-clinical performance testing provided by SINAPI Biomedical (Pty) Ltd. was used to address the differences related to design and principle of operation to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
