Intended Use
THE NORTECH OMNIFLATOR® 6630 SHALL BE USED FOR GAS DISTENTION OF THE ABDOMEN FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND / OR OPERATIVE LAPAROSCOPY.
Device Description
The Omniflator® Model 6630 CO₂ Gas Insufflator incorporates front panel controls similar to our current Omniflator® Model #6600. The 6630 has an adjustable gas flow rate from 0-30 LPM. The unit shall have direct patient pressure monitoring which can be used by attaching the direct patient monitoring tubing set to the Omniflator's® patient monitoring connector and subsequently into a cannula or trocar after initial insufflation has been achieved. The user has an option to utilize CO2 from a central supply or E-Cylinder tank.

K/DEN number: K973447

No
The summary describes a gas insufflator with adjustable flow rate and pressure monitoring, but makes no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is used for gas distention of the abdomen for diagnostic and/or operative laparoscopy, which is typically a procedural aid rather than a direct therapeutic intervention.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device "SHALL BE USED FOR GAS DISTENTION OF THE ABDOMEN FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND / OR OPERATIVE LAPAROSCOPY." The inclusion of "diagnostic" indicates its use in determining the nature of a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a hardware device (CO₂ Gas Insufflator) with physical components, controls, and connections for gas supply and patient monitoring. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "gas distention of the abdomen for diagnostic and / OR operative laparoscopy." This is a procedure performed on the patient's body, not on a sample taken from the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a CO₂ gas insufflator used to inflate the abdomen. This is a medical device used in a surgical or diagnostic procedure, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process related to in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Mr. Kurek:

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 requirements, 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 you might have under sections 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product 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 (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion 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).
