Intended Use

Conformer, is fabricated for the needs of a specific patient. Each is uniquely designed, fabricated, and fitted past-enucleation surgery, to maintain correct eye lid/socket configuration. In the other cases, to correct deformities of the eyelids, and/or socket. They are also fitted in a necessarily, sequential, increasing size, for infants afflicted with anophthalmia, or micro-ophthalmia, or in infants previous to the trauma or other socket and eyelid anomalies. Proper expansion therapy, with the use of sequential, increasing size conformers, is essential in eyelid development in infants and children.

Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for an "Ocular Conformer" device, dated July 7, 1997. It explicitly states that the FDA has determined the device is "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices marketed prior to May 28, 1976.

Based on the content, this letter does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria. The 510(k) clearance process for this type of device typically focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than requiring extensive clinical trials with specific performance metrics and acceptance criteria as would be expected for novel devices or those undergoing PMA.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table and study details. This document simply indicates market clearance based on substantial equivalence.

Dear Mr. Wenske:

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 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.
