More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a replacement battery and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.

No
The device is a replacement battery for a patient monitor and does not directly provide therapy.

No
The device is described as a "Replacement Battery Part Number H134" for a patient monitor, not a diagnostic device itself. Its intended use is solely as a replacement battery.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Replacement Battery Part Number H134," which is a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, 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 Nihon Kohden, Inc LifeScope 6 Portable Patient Monitor". This indicates the battery's function is to power a medical device, not to perform a diagnostic test on a sample taken from the human 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.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.
  • Device Description: The device is described simply as a "Replacement Battery Part Number H134". This aligns with a power source, not a diagnostic tool.

Therefore, the primary function of this device is to provide power to a patient monitor, which is a medical device, but the battery itself does not perform an in vitro diagnostic test.

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 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). 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 Requlation (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 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
