No
The provided text does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or image processing for analysis. The device description is also missing, which would be a key place to describe such technology.

No
The device is used for monitoring and recording respiratory effort in sleep disorder studies, not for treating or alleviating a medical condition. It explicitly states it is "NOT intended for use as an Apnea Alarm," further indicating it's for diagnostic/monitoring purposes, not therapeutic intervention.

Yes
The device is described as measuring "respiratory effort for monitoring or recording on a physiological recording system" in "sleep disorders studies," which indicates its use in assessing a physiological state relevant to diagnosing sleep disorders.

No

The device is described as a "Respiratory Effort Sensor," which strongly implies a physical hardware component is involved in sensing respiratory effort. The summary lacks information to suggest it's purely software processing data from another source.

Based on the provided information, the Gereonics Ultra-Piezo Respiratory Effort Sensor is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description states the device "measure[s] respiratory effort". This is a measurement of a physiological process occurring within the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "sleep disorders studies to measure respiratory effort for monitoring or recording on a physiological recording system." This reinforces its role in monitoring a physiological function directly.

Therefore, the Gereonics Ultra-Piezo Respiratory Effort Sensor falls under the category of a physiological monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 868.2375 Breathing frequency monitor.

(a)
Identification. A breathing (ventilatory) frequency monitor is a device intended to measure or monitor a patient's respiratory rate. The device may provide an audible or visible alarm when the respiratory rate, averaged over time, is outside operator settable alarm limits. This device does not include the apnea monitor classified in § 868.2377.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Mr. Rost:

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 the general controls provisions of the Act. 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 Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in assumptions. 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.
