More Information

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts in the provided text.

Yes
The device is described as allowing airflow over the vocal cords for speaking, which facilitates speech. This directly addresses and improves a physiological function, making it a therapeutic device.

No
The device is a speaking valve that allows airflow to facilitate speech, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of a "plastic outer body and a captured inner ball," indicating it is a physical, hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Shikani-French Speaking Valve is a mechanical device that attaches to a tracheostomy tube to facilitate speech by directing airflow. It does not perform any tests on biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "allow airflow over the vocal cords for speaking," which is a physical function, not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 868.5800 Tracheostomy tube and tube cuff.

(a)
Identification. A tracheostomy tube and tube cuff is a device intended to be placed into a surgical opening of the trachea to facilitate ventilation to the lungs. The cuff may be a separate or integral part of the tracheostomy tube and is, when inflated, intended to establish a seal between the tracheal wall and the tracheostomy tube. The cuff is used to prevent the patient's aspiration of substances, such as blood or vomit, or to provide a means for positive-pressure ventilation of the patient. This device is made of either stainless steel or plastic.(b)
