No
The summary describes a fluid-absorbing device with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any related technologies.

No
The device is described as absorbing fluids for external application, which does not inherently imply a therapeutic purpose of treating or preventing a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as "designed for external application for use in absorbing fluids," which indicates a functional, fluid-absorbing purpose rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The intended use describes a device for absorbing fluids, which is a physical function, not a software function. There is no mention of software in the provided text.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "external application for use in absorbing fluids." This describes a device that interacts with the body externally to manage fluids, not a device used to examine specimens taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens.
    • Providing diagnostic or monitoring information.
    • Using reagents or assays.
    • Being used in a laboratory setting.

The description points towards a device like a wound dressing, absorbent pad, or similar external fluid management product. These are generally classified as medical devices, but not specifically as IVDs.

Dear Dr. Thomas:

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. ਕ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, Devices: 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.
