No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical design and function of a tracheostomy tube and its accessories, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is intended for providing tracheal access for airway management, including artificial ventilation, and to assist in weaning patients from mechanical ventilation, which are all therapeutic interventions aimed at improving or maintaining health.
No.
The devices (tracheostomy tubes) are intended for providing tracheal access for airway management, ventilation, and phonation, which are therapeutic and supportive functions, not diagnostic.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components made of plastic material, such as neck plates, outer and inner cannulas, and inflatable cuffs. It also describes mechanical features like a movable neck flange. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use of these devices is to provide tracheal access for airway management, ventilation, and phonation. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body for therapeutic or supportive purposes.
- Device Description: The description details the physical components of tracheostomy tubes and accessories, which are used to create and maintain an airway.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease or impairment. IVDs are typically used to analyze blood, urine, tissue, etc.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical characteristics and airflow resistance, not on the accuracy or reliability of diagnostic measurements.
These devices are classified as medical devices used for airway management, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The TRACOE -FLEX tracheostomy tubes, the accessories as well as the replacement parts (inner cannulas and plugs) are sterile products for single patient use only. They essentially consist of a neck plate, an outer and an inner cannula. Outer and inner cannulas consists of thin walled relatively soft plastic material, which gets even softer at body temperature.
The special feature of the TRACOE -FLEX tracheostomy tubes is, that the neck flange is movable in a horizontal as well as in a vertical axis, so that the cannula inside the trachea does not move, when the patient either bends or turns his head. The outer cannula can carry an inflatable low pressure high volume cuff (models 301 and 302) and/or can be perforated (models 302 and 304).
Inner cannulas with a twist-lock 15 mm adapter are non fenestrated (models 301, 302, 303 and 304); additional inner cannulas with a short blue twist-lock adapter (models 302 and 304) are fenestrated.
Fenestrated inner cannulas with an integrated "speaking valve" for models 302 and 304 are available as accessories (model 401) for all sizes.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The performance of the TRACOES-FLEX tracheostomy tubes as well as of the "speaking valves" was tested in comparison to the Shiley/Mallinckrodt tubes based on measurements of the dimensions, resistance to airflow, kink resistance and connection between cannula and neck plate. The results of all these tests showed, that all these parameters are at least as good as those of the predicate devices and in certain features like resistance to airflow of the tubes, softness of the wall and flexibility between cannula and neck plate even better.

§ 868.5800 Tracheostomy tube and tube cuff.
(a)
Identification. A tracheostomy tube and tube cuff is a device intended to be placed into a surgical opening of the trachea to facilitate ventilation to the lungs. The cuff may be a separate or integral part of the tracheostomy tube and is, when inflated, intended to establish a seal between the tracheal wall and the tracheostomy tube. The cuff is used to prevent the patient's aspiration of substances, such as blood or vomit, or to provide a means for positive-pressure ventilation of the patient. This device is made of either stainless steel or plastic.(b)

5. Technological Characteristics of TRACOE -FLEX tubes compared to the Shiley/Mallinckrodt products
The TRACOE°-FLEX tube models 301 to 305 correspond closely to the traditional Shiley/Mallinckrodt products LPC, FEN, CFS, CFN and LGT. For both these products series the labelling, the indications for use as well as the safety characteristics are essentially identical. The TRACOE-FLEX tubes show however some improvements compared to the predicate devices such as
- the TRACOE -FLEX tubes have a neck plate, which is connected to the outer cannula in a way, that outer and inner cannulas can move in a horizontal as well as in a vertical axis at the same time. The Shiley/Mallinckrodt tubes can only move around a horizontal axis; all other tubes on the market have fixed neck plates.
- TRACOE8-FLEX tubes have thinner cannulas than the Shiley products.
- The material used for TRACOE-FLEX tubes is a much softer plastic material (polyurethane) than the material used for the Shiley products. The TRACOE® FLEX tubes are therefore softer and have a higher flexibility than the predicate devices.
4
- The thinner walls of the TRACOES-FLEX tubes yield at a given size of a tracheostoma a comparatively higher airflow for the patient than the predicate devices.
- The Tracoe "speaking valve" are constructed as integral part of inner cannulas an are less bulkier than predicate devices of Shiley/Mallinckrodt and Passy-Muir.
6. Assessment of Substantial Equivalance based on non-clinical Performance Data
The performance of the TRACOES-FLEX tracheostomy tubes as well as of the "speaking valves" was tested in comparison to the Shiley/Mallinckrodt tubes based on measurements of the dimensions, resistance to airflow, kink resistance and connection between cannula and neck plate. The results of all these tests showed, that all these parameters are at least as good as those of the predicate devices and in certain features like resistance to airflow of the tubes, softness of the wall and flexibility between cannula and neck plate even better.
7. Biocompatibility Assessment
All materials used are medical grade, and come with a certificate of compliance.
Elution tests of the final sterilized products according to USP23 were negative.
