More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance study summary do not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The substantial equivalence is based on design and performance characteristics, not data-driven algorithms.

No.
The device is used for artificial insemination, which is a procedure for conception, and not for treating a disease or condition. While it aids in a medical process, it does not directly treat or cure a disease, which is the primary characteristic of a therapeutic device.

No
This device is described as an insemination catheter used for artificial insemination procedures. While it allows for visualization to "confirm placement of insemination fluid," its primary function is therapeutic (insemination) rather than diagnostic (identifying a condition or disease). The visualization component serves to aid the therapeutic procedure, not to diagnose a uterine condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with a lumen and side ports, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "intrauterine artificial insemination procedures using washed spermatozoa or semen." This is a procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter used to deliver material into the uterus and potentially visualize the uterine interior. This is a medical device used for a therapeutic/procedural purpose, not for analyzing a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is related to the physical process of insemination and visualization.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Re: K982630 MedWorks Insemination Catheter Dated: November 8, 1998 Received: November 12, 1998 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR 884.5250/Procode: 85 MFD

Dear Ms. Papineau:

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. 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) 594-4613. 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).
