The summary describes a surgical instrument (tractor) and does not mention any software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.
No
A tractor is a surgical instrument used to hold or draw back tissue, facilitating surgical access rather than providing therapy. Its function is mechanical support during a procedure, not treatment of a condition.
No
The device, a suprapubic tractor, is used for surgical procedures (Open Perineal Prostatectomy and Suprapubic Catheter Placement), which are treatments or interventions, not diagnostic activities.
No
The provided text describes a "Suprapubic Tractor," which is a surgical instrument. This is a physical device, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Circon Lowsley™ Suprapubic Tractor is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures (Open Perineal Prostatectomy and Suprapubic Catheter Placement). This involves direct interaction with the patient's body during a surgical procedure.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing information about a patient's health status based on in vitro analysis.
- Using reagents or other substances to perform tests on samples.
IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Circon Lowsley™ Suprapubic Tractor is a surgical instrument used during a procedure, not for analyzing samples outside the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The intended use for the Circon Lowsley™ Suprapubic Tractor is for conventional Open Perineal Prostatectomy Procedures and for Suprapubic Catheter Placement.

Dear Mr. Sterner:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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.
