Device Description
Replacement Battery Part Number LP5-FP
More Information

Not Found

No
The device is described as a replacement battery and there is no mention of AI or ML in the summary.

No
The device is described as a replacement battery for medical devices, not a therapeutic device itself.

No
The device is described as a "replacement battery" for existing medical devices. Its intended use is to replace batteries, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide clinical information.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Replacement Battery Part Number LP5-FP," which is a hardware component. The intended use also describes it as a replacement battery. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as a "replacement battery for a particular device or to replace a competitor's replacement battery." This is a functional component for a medical device, not a product used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: It's described as a "Replacement Battery Part Number LP5-FP." This further reinforces its nature as a power source, not a diagnostic tool.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document lacks any mention of typical IVD characteristics such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays
    • Mentioning any analytical or clinical performance metrics related to diagnosis

The information provided points to this being an accessory or component for various medical devices (ECG, telemetry, suction unit, monitor), which themselves may or may not be IVDs, but the battery itself is not performing an in vitro diagnostic function.

Dear Mr. Heimendinger:

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 II (Special Controls) or 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (21 CFR Fart 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requlation 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 you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
