Intended Use
The MIC-KEY® G™ Low Profile Gastrostomy Replacement Kit is designed as a replacement Gastrostomy tube. It can be used in any well formed gastric tract where a low profile device is considered desirable. Gastrostomy tube feeding may be indicated for patients needing long term enteral support, including but not limited to, feeding, hydrating, medication delivery, and decompressing, secondary to a primary condition relating to the head or neck. These conditions include: Stroke Cancer Head or neck tumors, injuries, or trauma Neurological disorders resulting in a chewing or swallowing disorder.
Device Description
The MIC-KEY® "G"™ Low Profile Gastrostomy Replacement Kit is intended to be used for patients requiring enteral support or decompression via a gastrostomy, and is designed to be a balloon - secured replacement gastrostomy tube. A tapered distal tip eases insertion through the gastric tract and the balloon is then inflated to assure secure placement. The tapered tip makes the tube less traumatic to place than skin level tubes with obturator placed mushroom type tips. The balloon in this device is mounted (distal cuff) to the distal inner lumen of the feeding tube, the proximal cuff is mounted to the outer diameter of the feeding tube. While the balloon length is equivalent to the predicate MIC-KEY, the overall length of the device has been decreased to facilitate the balloon, when inflated, to surround the device distal tip. The device is packaged sterile and is marketed with a number of accessories; reference Section 11 - Kit Certification, "Special" 510(k) Premarket Notification.

K/DEN: K922667/B

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and physical properties of a gastrostomy tube, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes.
The device facilitates long-term enteral support, including feeding and medication delivery, for patients with conditions affecting their ability to eat or swallow, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat or manage a medical condition.

No

This device is a gastrostomy tube replacement kit, used for enteral support or decompression. It does not perform any diagnostic functions like detecting, measuring, or analyzing physiological parameters or conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical medical device (gastrostomy tube) with hardware components (balloon, tapered tip, lumens) and includes performance studies related to the physical properties of the device (glue bond, dimensions, burst strength). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device for providing enteral support (feeding, hydration, medication) and decompression directly into the stomach via a gastrostomy. This is a therapeutic and supportive function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of a tube designed for insertion into the gastric tract and secured with a balloon. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Language: The document uses terms like "gastrostomy tube feeding," "enteral support," "medication delivery," and "decompressing." These are all related to treatment and support, not diagnosis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies listed are focused on the physical integrity and function of the device itself (balloon bond, dimensions, burst strength), not on its ability to accurately detect or measure a biological marker for diagnostic purposes.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device does not perform such a function.

§ 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. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 876.9.

Dear Mr. Chamberlain:

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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, and 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
