No
The provided text describes a device for chest drainage and blood collection, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any related computational techniques.

Yes
The device is intended to facilitate blood collection for reinfusion, re-establish lung expansion, and restore breathing dynamics, which are all therapeutic actions.

No

The intended use describes therapeutic actions (evacuating air/fluid, re-establishing lung expansion, facilitating blood collection for reinfusion), not diagnosis.

No

The provided 510(k) summary describes a device intended to evacuate air and/or fluid from the chest cavity or mediastinum and facilitate autologous blood collection. These are inherently physical actions requiring hardware components (e.g., tubes, pumps, collection bags). The summary lacks any 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 used to evacuate air and fluid from the chest cavity and collect blood for reinfusion. This is a surgical or therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples or the use of reagents, which are hallmarks of IVDs.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for a surgical or therapeutic purpose, not an in vitro diagnostic.

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 aqainst 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 Requlations, 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 requlatory 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 requlations.
