Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, and the intended use and device description (though not found) do not suggest AI/ML functionality.

No
The device is described as being used for diagnosis, which is not a therapeutic function.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "used for the intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal axonal conduction." The term "diagnosis" directly indicates that it is a diagnostic device.

Unknown

The provided text does not contain a device description, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only. The intended use suggests a device used intraoperatively for diagnosing neurological dysfunction, which could involve hardware components for signal acquisition or stimulation. Without a description, it's impossible to confirm if it's purely software.

Based on the provided information, the Digitimer D185 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used for the "intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal axonal conduction." This involves directly assessing physiological function within the patient's body during surgery.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are performed outside of the living body (in vitro).

The Digitimer D185's function of assessing nerve conduction within the patient during surgery clearly falls outside the definition of an in vitro diagnostic. It is a device used for physiological monitoring and assessment in vivo.

Dear Mr. Benedict:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket 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) 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
