Not Found

No
The device description and intended use do not mention any computational or data-driven components, and the "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as an "erection enhancement device" used to aid in the "normal erection process," which addresses a physiological function.

No
The device description and intended use indicate it is an "erection enhancement device" that functions to "slow venous outflow from the penis," which is a treatment or aid, not a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "linear elastic tube with an O ring and ball locking unit," which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the ACTIS® (Venous Flow Controller) device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • ACTIS® Function: The ACTIS® device is a physical device placed externally around the base of the penis to mechanically slow venous outflow. It does not involve testing any biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in the normal erection process by physically controlling blood flow, not by analyzing biological markers.

Therefore, the ACTIS® device falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 876.5020 External penile rigidity devices.

(a)
Identification. External penile rigidity devices are devices intended to create or maintain sufficient penile rigidity for sexual intercourse. External penile rigidity devices include vacuum pumps, constriction rings, and penile splints which are mechanical, powered, or pneumatic devices.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The devices are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9. The special control for these devices is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: External Penile Rigidity Devices.” See § 876.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

510(k) SUMMARY, SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS 12.

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21CFR 807.92:

The ACTIS® (Venous Flow Controller) device is an erection enhancement device that is designed to slow venous outflow from the penis and thus aid in the normal erection process. It is a linear elastic tube with an O ring and ball locking unit that allows ease of adjustment to increase or decrease tension. Placement is around the base of the penis.

Directions and diagrams for proper use, care, and recommended duration of application of the ACTIS® device are part of the materials provided to the patient. The ease of adjustability provides a high degree of safety when used according to the directions.

VIVUS ACTIS® device is substantially equivalent to the marketed ENCORE Revive® series of tension rings.
