No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and functional testing of a tracheostomy tube, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended to permit conventional ventilation and spontaneous ventilation, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is described as an intervention tool for ventilation, suctioning, and spontaneous ventilation, used after insertion in an incision at the cricothyroid space for emergency surgical cricothyrotomy. Its function is to facilitate air passage, not to provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical medical device made of flexible medical grade PVC, designed for insertion into the cricothyroid space. It describes physical features like a beveled tip, radiopaque line, and available sizes, and mentions physical performance tests like inflation/deflation and sterilization validation. There is no mention of software components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical intervention (emergency surgical cricothyrotomy) to establish an airway for ventilation and suctioning. This is a direct medical procedure performed on a patient.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical tube designed to be inserted into the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a therapeutic and life-support device used directly on the patient.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II.
