None

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and provides no other information suggesting the use of these technologies.

Yes
The intended use statement indicates the device is intended to aid in the production and maintenance of a penile erection in individuals suffering from impotence, which classifies it as a therapeutic device addressing a medical condition.

No
The 'Intended Use' states the device is "intended to aid in the production and maintenance of a penile erection in individuals suffering from impotence," which describes a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

Unknown

The provided text does not contain enough information about the device's description to determine if it is software-only. The intended use suggests a physical interaction (aiding in erection), which could involve hardware.

Based on the provided information, the VTU-1 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "aid in the production and maintenance of a penile erection in individuals suffering from impotence." This describes a therapeutic or assistive device used directly on the body, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "penile," indicating direct interaction with the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests
    • Using reagents or assays

Therefore, the VTU-1 appears to be a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

VTU-1TM Vacuum Erection System Dated: July 22, 1997 Received: July 23, 1997 Regulatory class: unclassified Product code: 78 LKY

Dear Mr. Stone:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation i you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (2) CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for question and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".

Sincerely yours.
