Intended Use
The Bilichek™ Non-Invasive Bilirubin Analyzer is a computer assisted non-invasive transcutaneous bilirubinometer which is intended as an index to predict serum bilirubin levels in neonates less than eight days old, without regard to gender, gestational age, race, or bodyweight. The Bilichek™ provides a numerical measurement of predicted bilirubin count in mo/dL within a clinically beneficial range that has been correlated with total serum bilirubin concentration measured by High Performance Liquid Chromotography (HPLC). The device is used in the hospital or institutional environment to assist clinicians in monitoring the status of neonates for the development of hyperbilirubinemia. Neonates whose Bilichek™ test results are indicative of hyperbilirubinemia are evaluated by their physician(s) for appropriate patient management.

No
The summary mentions the device is "computer assisted" but provides no details or keywords (like AI, ML, DNN, image processing, training/test sets) that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is used to predict serum bilirubin levels and monitor neonates for hyperbilirubinemia, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It assists clinicians in evaluation, but does not treat the condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended to "predict serum bilirubin levels in neonates" and "assist clinicians in monitoring the status of neonates for the development of hyperbilirubinemia," which are diagnostic purposes. It also states that neonates with results "indicative of hyperbilirubinemia are evaluated by their physician(s) for appropriate patient management," further supporting its role in diagnosis and subsequent management.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "computer assisted non-invasive transcutaneous bilirubinometer," which implies the use of hardware (a bilirubinometer) in addition to software.

Based on the provided information, the Bilichek™ Non-Invasive Bilirubin Analyzer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The Bilichek™ is described as a "non-invasive transcutaneous bilirubinometer." This means it measures bilirubin through the skin, without requiring a blood sample or other bodily fluid.
  • The intended use explicitly states it is "non-invasive." This directly contradicts the definition of an in vitro diagnostic.

Therefore, the Bilichek™ falls outside the scope of an IVD device.

Dear Mr. Cowart:

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. 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.
