The summary describes a simple medical device (gastrostomy tube) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No
Explanation: A replacement gastrostomy tube is used for nutritional support and convenience, not for treating a disease or medical condition.

No
The device, a Gastrostomy tube, is for replacing an existing tube due to issues like blockage or for long-term nutritional support, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states "Replacement Gastrostomy Tube," which is a physical medical device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The description of this device clearly indicates it is a physical tube inserted into the body for feeding purposes. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The intended use is for direct patient care and support. The indications for use relate to maintaining nutritional support and patient comfort, which are direct clinical interventions, not diagnostic procedures.

The device described is a medical device used for patient care, specifically for enteral feeding, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

SECTION II 510(k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS REPLACEMENT GASTROSTOMY TUBE

The Summary of Safety and Effectiveness on percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and the Replacement Gastrostomy Tube used reflects data available and presented at the time the submission was prepared, but, caution should be exercised in interpreting the data. The future studies may require alterations of the results of conclusions or recommendations set forth.

Procedure/Product Overview

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) has become the method of choice for patients, both adults and children, unable to take through normal means, yet, have a functional nutrition gastrointestinal tract. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is a less invasive and traumatic method of placement than a surgical procedure.

of PEGs, via endoscopy, has been clinically The placement acceptable for more than 10 years. Several manufacturers provide PEG units to the market. The Gastrostomy tube is replaced with a Replacement Gastrostomy Tube for such things as indications of a blocked feeding tube, patient comfort and esthetics, and the need for long-term nutritional support.

Contraindications For Utilizing a Replacement Gastrostomy Tube and Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy

  • Patients with massive ascites, sepsis, esophageal or (1) gastric obstructions, esophageal or gastric varices and morbid obesity.
  • (2) Individuals who do not have a well established gastrostomy tract.
  • If the patient is combative and can not be sedated. (3)
  • ( 4 ) If the patient is bleeding.
  • If the patient has signs of infection or irritation of stoma (5) tissue.
  • (6) If the patient has evidence of granulation tissue at stoma site.
  • (7) A patient who does not have a well established qastrostomy tract.
  • ( 8 ) Evidence of granulation tissue, infection or irritation should be addressed medically prior to insertion of this device.
  • ( Other contraindications as determined by physician.
