The summary describes a simple sensor that indicates body position and plugs into existing equipment. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any complex data analysis that would suggest the use of these technologies. The description focuses on basic hardware components.
No
The device is described as an "indicator of body position" during sleep disorder studies. It does not exert any therapeutic effect on the patient.
No
Explanation: A diagnostic device identifies a disease or condition. This device is an "indicator of body position" during sleep disorder studies, providing data rather than a diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it uses a battery and plugs into hardware (amplifier or multiplexer), indicating it is a hardware device with potential embedded software, not a standalone software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the BRAEBON MEDICAL CORPORATION Ultima Body Position Sensor™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to indicate body position during sleep disorder studies. This is a physiological measurement taken from the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample of biological material (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body.
- Device Description: The description reinforces the intended use and how it functions (using a battery and plugging into other devices). There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not include any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analysis of biological samples.
- Detection or measurement of substances in biological samples.
- Diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases based on analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 882.5050 Biofeedback device.
(a)
Identification. A biofeedback device is an instrument that provides a visual or auditory signal corresponding to the status of one or more of a patient's physiological parameters (e.g., brain alpha wave activity, muscle activity, skin temperature, etc.) so that the patient can control voluntarily these physiological parameters.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter when it is a prescription battery powered device that is indicated for relaxation training and muscle reeducation and prescription use, subject to § 882.9.

Dear Dr. Bonato:
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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (OS) 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.

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) 594-4595. 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). 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".
