The device description and intended use are purely mechanical/physical containment and counting aids. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest AI/ML.
No
The device is described as a containment and counting system for sponges, which is a logistical and safety tool rather than something that treats or diagnoses a medical condition.
No
The devices, Pocket Count and SafeTCount, are described as tools for containing and counting surgical sponges and estimating absorbed fluid. They do not perform any diagnostic function, such as detecting, diagnosing, or monitoring a disease or condition in a patient.
No
The device description clearly describes physical, disposable bags and coverings, which are hardware components, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "Containment and Counting of Sponges in the Operating Room or a hospital setting." This is a physical process related to surgical procedures and waste management, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the human body.
- Device Description: The device descriptions focus on physical containment, visual counting, and visual estimation of fluid. These are not diagnostic procedures.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing information about a patient's health status or disease.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
Pocket Count: Transparent, compartmentalized, disposable bag which allows visual confirmation of sponge count and visual estimate of absorbed fluid. Pocket Count provides partial containment of contaminated sponges, thereby, decreasing worker exposure to contents.
SafeTCount: Transparent, disposable hand shaped covering which is used to collect sponges. When the covering is turned inside out it contains the contaminated sponges thereby decreasing worker exposure to contents. The SafeTCount allows visual confirmation of sponge count and visual estimate of absorbed fluid.

§ 880.2740 Surgical sponge scale.
(a)
Identification. A surgical sponge scale is a nonelectrically powered device used to weigh surgical sponges that have been used to absorb blood during surgery so that, by comparison with the known dry weight of the sponges, an estimate may be made of the blood lost by the patient during surgery.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 880.9. The device also is exempt from the current good manufacturing practice requirements of the quality system regulation in part 820 of this chapter, with the exception of § 820.180, with respect to general requirements concerning records, and § 820.198, with respect to complaint files.

Re: K972302 Trade/Device Name: Pocket Count or SafeTCount Regulation Number: 21 CFR 880.2740 Regulation Name: Surgical sponge scale Regulatory Class: I Exempt Product Code: LWH Dated: June 18, 1997 Received: June 19, 1997
Dear Ms. Pinto:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of July 25, 1997.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act`s requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21

CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to continue marketing your device as described in your Section 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 (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
