Intended Use
single use, sterile, cuffed tracheal intubation and indicated for airway management.
Device Description
consists of a clear, implant tested, P.V.C. tube with an encapsulated stainless steel reinforcing spiral. The tube is graduated with multiple centimeter markings to allow easy determination of the intubated length, and is terminated with a fully inserted connector. The tube is fitted with a low pressure, high volume cuff, which is inflated through a lueractivated valve, pilot baloon, inflation tube and lumen in the wall of the main tube.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and function of a standard tracheal tube, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device, a cuffed tracheal intubation tube, is used for airway management, which is a therapeutic intervention to maintain or create an open airway in a patient.

No
The device is a cuffed tracheal intubation tube used for airway management, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a PVC tube, stainless steel spiral, cuff, valve, and pilot balloon, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "single use, sterile, cuffed tracheal intubation and indicated for airway management." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a medical procedure (airway management).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical tube designed to be inserted into the trachea. It describes its components and how it functions for intubation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples. This device is clearly designed for direct use within the patient's airway.

Substantial Equivalence 510(k) Summary

Reference: Rusch Reinforced Tracheal Tube - Cuffed, sterile

The Rusch Reinforced Endotracheal Tube - Cuffed, sterile for tracheal intubation applied for in this application is substantially equivalent in design, use and materials to the:

Sheridan Reinforced Cuffed Tracheal Tube - K844296 SIMS/Concord/Portex Reinforced Cuffed Silicone Tracheal Tube - K830352 NCC/Mallinckrodt Reinforced Tracheal Tube Cuffed currently being marketed and sold in inter-state commerce.

The device, which is equivalent to other devices currently being marketed, consists of a clear, implant tested, P.V.C. tube with an encapsulated stainless steel reinforcing spiral. The tube is graduated with multiple centimeter markings to allow easy determination of the intubated length, and is terminated with a fully inserted connector.

The tube is fitted with a low pressure, high volume cuff, which is inflated through a lueractivated valve, pilot baloon, inflation tube and lumen in the wall of the main tube.

The device is a single use, sterile, cuffed tracheal intubation and indicated for airway management. It will be available in a variety of sizes from 5.0 mm to 11.0 mm internal diameters in steps of 0.5 mm.

Based upon the equivalence in materials, design and intended use between this tube and others presently being marketed and sold, no difference in safety and effectiveness is forecasted.
