No
The description explicitly states the device uses a "manual method for detecting Knorokoff sounds" and is a "Genmed Aneroid Sphygmomanometer," which is a traditional, non-electronic blood pressure device. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis of data.

No
The device is described as an "Aneroid Sphygmomanometer" intended for the "measurement of systolic and diastolic pressure". Its function is diagnostic (measurement), not therapeutic (treatment).

Yes
Explanation: The device is described as an "Aneroid Sphygmomanometer" intended for the "measurement of systolic and diastolic pressure on adults." This measurement provides information about a patient's health status, which is a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states "Genmed Aneroid Sphygmomanometer," which is a hardware device used for measuring blood pressure. The description also mentions manual attachment, inflation, and detection of Korotkoff sounds, all of which are physical actions associated with a hardware sphygmomanometer. 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 is for the measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure on adults. This is a physiological measurement taken directly from the patient's body.
  • Device Description: It's an Aneroid Sphygmomanometer, a device used for measuring blood pressure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not involve the analysis of such specimens.

Therefore, the Genmed Aneroid Sphygmomanometer is a medical device, but it falls under the category of devices used for direct physiological measurement, not in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Frier:

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 Requlation (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 regulations.
