No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical design, materials, and mechanical function of the cranial orthosis. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets for training or testing algorithms.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that the COPC Band is used to "treat abnormally shaped craniums in infants" and "guiding the growth of the flattened areas of the skull into the created spaces." The "Intended Use" section also specifies its purpose is "to improve cranial symmetry and/or shape." These functions align with the definition of a therapeutic device, as it is designed to treat a medical condition and promote healing or correction.
No
The device is a cranial orthosis used to treat abnormally shaped craniums in infants, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a cranial orthosis composed of physical materials (thermoformable plastic, hypoallergenic foam, strap) and is custom designed and fabricated, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the COPC Band is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
- COPC Band Function: The COPC Band is a physical orthosis applied externally to the infant's head. It works by physically guiding the growth of the skull. It does not analyze any biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "passively hold[ing] prominent cranial regions... to improve cranial symmetry and/or shape." This is a mechanical/physical intervention, not a diagnostic test.
Therefore, the COPC Band falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a cranial orthosis, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The COPC Band is intended for medical purposes to passively hold prominent cranial regions of an infant's skull in order to improve cranial symmetry and/or shape in infants initiating treatment from three to 14 months of age, with nonsynostotic positional plagiocephaly, including infants with plagiocephalic, brachycephalic, and scaphocephalic patterned head shapes.

Device Description
The COPC Band is a cranial orthosis used to treat abnormally shaped craniums in infants three to 14 months of age. This condition is clinically known as positional or Deformational Plagiocephaly. The orthosis contains the protruding aspects of the cranium in a static equilibrium while guiding the growth of the flattened areas of the skull into the created spaces. The COPC Band is only available through a prescription issued by a physician.
The orthosis is custom designed for each patient from a modified model and measurements of the infant's head. The mold is prepared for fabrication using advanced plaster modification techniques. Each orthosis is composed of an outer shell of thermoformable plastic, an inner lining of hypoallergenic foam, and a strap for securing Optimum fit and alignment is insured and monitored by the clinical the orthosis. practitioner.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The safety of the COPC Band is established under standard biocompatibility assessments for each material used. These assessments reveal that the device and the materials used are not expected to adversely affect the infants under the intended conditions of wear, which are analogous to those for the DOC Band. The materials are not reported to cause skin irritation or any toxic effects. Further, the product is designed to avoid improper migration or harmful levels of pressure. The interior of the device is smooth and poses no significant threat to the child during application within the normal scope of its intended use. The COPC Band has incorporated within its clamshell design a natural corrugated stop, which prevents overtightening and harmful pressure upon the infant's skull. This safety feature heightens the COPC Band's safety above that of the predicate device in that the predicate device has no such inherent safeguard. The COPC Band's performance has been demonstrated and compared to the predicate device through an analysis of pressure exerted by the device upon the child's skull. Pressure sensors applied to a cranial model with a COPC Band applied, demonstrates quantifiably that intimate contact exists between the regions of cranial prominences, while no pressure exists in the regions of the cranial depressions as they are positioned over the corrective voids. This data and device performance is directly analogous with the regions of contact between the predicate device and the patient using the device.

Intended Use D.
The COPC Band is intended for medical purposes to passively hold prominent cranial regions of an infant's skull in order to improve cranial symmetry and/or shape in infants initiating treatment from three to 14 months of age, with nonsynostotic positional plagiocephaly, including infants with plagiocephalic, brachycephalic, and scaphocephalic patterned head shapes.
Comparison to Predicate Device E.
The COPC Band and the predicate device are very similar with respect to production, instructions for use, materials, safety and effectiveness, and special controls. The COPC Band combines an outer shell of thermo-formable polymer and hypoallergenic foam lining in an analogous fashion as the predicate device fits the child in a similar fashion as the predicate device, with trim lines terminating over the same points. The primary difference between the proposed and predicate devices is the side closure strap of the orthosis, where the COPC Band incorporates two straps and the DOC Band utilizes a single strap. The COPC Band utilizes modified polyethylene and aliplast as the composite materials, and the DOC Band utilizes copolymer and aliplast as its composite materials. MSDS sheets for these materials confirm that they are safe, non-hazardous, and non-reactive with human skin under normal contact conditions and environments. The material is handled in an identical manner to the polymer used in the predicate device, incorporating all of the safety and standards of practice. The proposed indications of use are analogous to those presented by the predicate device, and biocompatibility, function, and effectiveness further parallel those of the predicate device.
F. Performance Data
The safety of the COPC Band is established under standard biocompatibility assessments for each material used. These assessments reveal that the device and the materials used are not expected to adversely affect the infants under the intended conditions of wear, which are analogous to those for the DOC Band. The materials are not reported to cause skin irritation or any toxic effects. Further, the product is designed to avoid improper migration or harmful levels of pressure. The interior of the device is smooth and poses no significant threat to the child during application within the normal scope of its intended use. The COPC Band has incorporated within its clamshell design a natural corrugated stop, which prevents overtightening and harmful pressure upon the infant's skull. This safety feature heightens the COPC Band's safety above that of the predicate device in that the predicate device has no such inherent safeguard. The COPC Band's performance has been demonstrated and compared to the predicate device through an analysis of pressure exerted by the device upon the child's skull. Pressure sensors applied to a cranial model with a COPC Band applied, demonstrates quantifiably that intimate contact exists between the regions of cranial prominences, while no pressure exists in the regions of the cranial depressions as they are positioned over the corrective voids. This data and device performance is directly analogous with the regions of contact between the predicate device and the patient using the device.

G. Summary
The safety and effectiveness data submitted to the FDA establishes that the COPC Band is safe and effective for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to applicable predicate devices.
