The device description explicitly states that the program does not provide any analysis or data saving options, and there are no mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.
No
The device is used to locate esophageal sphincters and measure distances, which is diagnostic in nature, not therapeutic. Its purpose is to aid in the accurate placement of a pH sensitive catheter for a diagnostic study, not to treat a condition.
Yes
The device is used to locate anatomical structures (esophageal sphincters) and measure distances, which serves as a diagnostic step prior to a pH study to quantify gastroesophageal reflux. Although it doesn't process data itself, the information it provides is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it comprises a "module of electronics" and connects to a computer via an "optically isolated RS232 connector," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the FLEXILOG LS is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The FLEXILOG LS is used to measure pressure within the human body (specifically, the esophageal sphincters). It does not analyze blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily fluids or substances.
- The intended use describes a procedure performed directly on the patient. The device is used to locate anatomical structures and measure distances in vivo.
- The device description focuses on pressure monitoring and signal transmission. This aligns with a device used for physiological measurement within the body, not for analyzing samples outside the body.
Therefore, the FLEXILOG LS falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological measurement, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The FLEXILOG LS is used for the location of the lower and/or upper esophageal sphincter and the measuring of the nares to esophageal sphincter distance. This procedure being carried out prior to the accurate placement of a pH sensitive catheter for an ambulatory pH study to quantify gastroesophageal reflux.
The FLEXILOG LS, Esophageal Sphincter Locator, is to be used for the manometric location of the lower and upper esophageal sphincters. That is the measurement of the distance from the nares to the sphincter.

Device Description
The FLEXILOG LS is a single channel, pressure monitoring system comprising of a module of electronics that provides transducer excitation, amplification and transmission of the signal to a computer via an optically isolated RS232 connector. The pressure signal is displayed on the computer VDU via a Microsoft Windows display program. The program does not provide any analysis or data saving options.
The electronics module is designed to be compatible with catheter tip perfused pressure transducers currently available in the US market.

§ 876.1725 Gastrointestinal motility monitoring system.
(a)
Identification. A gastrointestinal motility monitoring system is a device used to measure peristalic activity or pressure in the stomach or esophagus by means of a probe with transducers that is introduced through the mouth into the gastrointestinal tract. The device may include signal conditioning, amplifying, and recording equipment. This generic type of device includes the esophageal motility monitor and tube, the gastrointestinal motility (electrical) system, and certain accessories, such as a pressure transducer, amplifier, and external recorder.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Indications
The FLEXILOG LS is used for the location of the lower and/or upper esophageal sphincter and the measuring of the nares to esophageal sphincter distance. This procedure being carried out prior to the accurate placement of a pH sensitive catheter for an ambulatory pH study to quantify gastroesophageal reflux.
Technological Characteristics
The FLEXILOG LS is a single channel pressure system similar to those in the predicate devices; FLEXILOG LS Lower Esophageal Sphincter Detector, RMS III, the LES Locator, Digitrapper MKIII and Digitrapper MD. However, the electronics are contained in a standalone box, not contained with the ambulatory pH recorder box as in the RMS III, Digitrapper MKII and Digitrapper MD. Nor does it require to be connected to a pH recorder as does the LES locator. Pressure data is displayed on a computer screen as with the multi channel Biolab and PC Polygraph HR systems.
Testing
The FLEXILOG LS has been shown to accurately measure and display pressure.
