Intended Use
The Chait Cecostomy Catheter is used to instill fluids through a cecostomy into the colon to promote evacuation of the contents of the lower bowel through the anal opening and is intended to be an aid in the management of fecal incontinence. The opening and is and maintained in a percutaneously prepared opening such as a cecostomy .
Device Description
The Chait Cecostomy Catheter is a "trap door", low profile catheter which facilitates antegrade colonic flushing. The device is supplied sterile and is intended for one time use. A tract must be established through the abdomen into the cecum prior to placement of the trap door catheter. Accessories used in conjunction with this device include, but are not limited to, a metal stiffener, a wire guide, a connecting tube, a syringe and saline solution. The device consists of a cecostomy catheter with a trap door attachment and an access adapter. The 10.2 French catheter is made of urethane and is manufactured with five (total) pigtail curves. The distal end of the catheter includes three sideports which are evenly spaced inside the fifth curve. The endhole is 0.038 inches in diameter. The total length of the catheter is 20cm. The trap door fitting is also made of urethane and lies flat against the abdomen wall. It incorporates a plastic plug which locks securely into place when the catheter is not being accessed. The access adapter is a metal cannula. The distal end of the cannula is curved and can be attached to the trap door fitting as needed to fluids through the Chait Cecostomy Catheter and into the cecum. The proximal end of the cannula is designed with a large tapered fitting that will fit most taper tip syringes.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a purely mechanical device (catheter, trap door, adapter) for fluid instillation. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The performance studies listed are standard tests for mechanical and biocompatibility properties, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is used to instill fluids into the colon to promote evacuation and manage fecal incontinence, which directly addresses a health condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "Chait Cecostomy Catheter" used to instill fluids and promote evacuation of bowel contents for managing fecal incontinence. Its function is therapeutic (instilling fluids, aiding evacuation), not diagnostic (identifying or characterizing a medical condition).

No

The device description clearly details physical components made of urethane and metal, including a catheter, trap door fitting, and access adapter. It also mentions accessories like a metal stiffener and wire guide. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Chait Cecostomy Catheter is a device inserted into the body (specifically, the cecum) to instill fluids for therapeutic purposes (promoting bowel evacuation). It does not perform tests on bodily samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate fluid instillation and aid in the management of fecal incontinence, not to diagnose or monitor a medical condition through testing of samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter and accessories for fluid delivery, not components for performing diagnostic tests.

Therefore, the Chait Cecostomy Catheter is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 876.5980 Gastrointestinal tube and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A gastrointestinal tube and accessories is a device that consists of flexible or semi-rigid tubing used for instilling fluids into, withdrawing fluids from, splinting, or suppressing bleeding of the alimentary tract. This device may incorporate an integral inflatable balloon for retention or hemostasis. This generic type of device includes the hemostatic bag, irrigation and aspiration catheter (gastric, colonic, etc.), rectal catheter, sterile infant gavage set, gastrointestinal string and tubes to locate internal bleeding, double lumen tube for intestinal decompression or intubation, feeding tube, gastroenterostomy tube, Levine tube, nasogastric tube, single lumen tube with mercury weight balloon for intestinal intubation or decompression, and gastro-urological irrigation tray (for gastrological use).(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The barium enema retention catheter and tip with or without a bag that is a gastrointestinal tube and accessory or a gastronomy tube holder accessory is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I (general controls) for the dissolvable nasogastric feed tube guide for the nasogastric tube.

Dear Ms. Lavender:

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). 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 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.
