Not Found

No
The device is a mechanical skull pin used for rigid fixation during surgery. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties and imaging artifact reduction, not algorithmic performance.

No.
The device is used to hold the patient's head and neck in a particular position during surgical procedures for rigid skeletal fixation, which is a supportive function during therapy, not a direct therapeutic action itself.

No

Explanation: The device is described as skull pins used for rigid skeletal fixation during surgical procedures, specifically for holding the head and neck in position during surgery. Its function is to facilitate imaging by being radiolucent, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states the device consists of physical components: a molded ABS plastic base and a machined sapphire-crystal pin point. It is a hardware device used for rigid skeletal fixation.

Based on the provided information, this device 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 MAYFIELD® Radiolucent Skull Pins are physical devices used to mechanically fix the patient's head and neck during surgery. They are inserted into the skull and used in conjunction with a skull clamp.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples from the patient. Its function is purely mechanical support and fixation.
  • Intended Use and Indications: The intended use and indications clearly describe the device's role in providing rigid skeletal fixation during surgical procedures, particularly when imaging is used. This is a mechanical function, not a diagnostic one based on analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the MAYFIELD® Radiolucent Skull Pins fall under the category of surgical instruments or devices used for patient positioning and fixation, not in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use:

MAYFIELD Radiolucent Skull Pins are used with a skull clamp that is placed on the patient's skull to hold their head and neck in a particular position during surqical procedures when rigid skeletal fixation is desired and Intra-Operative CT or MRI imaging is used.

Indications for Use:

The MAYFIELD Radiolucent Skull Pins are indicated for use in open and percutaneous craniotomies and spinal surgeries when rigid skeletal fixation is necessary and when Intra-Operative CT or MRI imaging of the patient is used.

Device Description:

The MAYFIELD Radiolucent Skull Pin 4-0-A-2020 [radiolucent pin] consists of the following components:

  • a molded black-color ABS plastic base, and
  • a machined sapphire-crystal pin point.

The radiolucent pins are packaged three (3) pins per pouch, two (2) pouches per carton and EO sterilized.

The radiolucent pins are single-use devices used to rigidly fix the patient's head and/or spine during surgery. The radiolucent pins are assembled from two components; a molded ABS plastic base [the same as used in the predicate device, MAYFIELD Disposable Skull Pins 4-0-A-1072][A1072 pins] and a pin point made of sapphire crystal that is machined to the same dimensions as the A1072 pin point. In preparation for surgery three (3) radiolucent pins are installed in a MAYFIELD Radiolucent Skull Clamp; two radiolucent pins in the Rocker Arm side and a single radiolucent pin on the opposite side. The radiolucent pins are EO sterilized, just as the A1072 pins mentioned above, and are ready for use right from the sterile pouch.

6. Summary of Substantial Equivalence:

The MAYFIELD Radiolucent Skull Pins 4-0-A-2020 are substantially equivalent to the following devices:

  • · The MAYFIELD Disposable Skull Pins 4-0-A-1072, K923789.

2

6. Summary of Substantial Equivalence: (continued)

Indications:

  • · The indications for the MAYFIELD Radiolucent Skull Pins 4-0-A-2020 are identical to the indications for the predicate device, MAYFIELD Disposable Skull Pins 4-0-A-1072, currently marketed by OMI, with the following exception: The radiolucent pins are indicated for use when Intra-Operative CT or MRI imaging is used.

Design:

  • Both the radiolucent pins and the A1072 Pins are used in MAYFIELD Skull Clamps for surgical approaches that require rigid skeletal fixation.
  • · Both systems may be used to treat the same medical or surgical conditions of the brain and cervical spine.
  • · Both systems have essentially the same cautions and contraindications for use.
  • · Head fixation devices have been in common use for many years. The Skull Pin allows the user to fixate the skull in a clamping device for improved reliability of CT or MR scan data. Technological advances have increased the demand to perform intra-operative surgery scans, which requires minimal artifact and necessitates compatible hardware such as the radiolucent pins. It is anticipated that most neurosurgery physicians are extensively experienced in the use of a MAYFIELD Skull Clamp and MAYFIELD Disposable Skull Pins fthe predicate device] and are expected to adapt readily to the use of the MAYFIELD Radiolucent Skull Pins.

Materials:

  • · Both the radiolucent pins and the predicate device utilize the same molded base made of the same ABS plastic material, the same sterilizable TYVEK/flexible film pouch and the same other packaging materials that meet the various BS. ISO and ASTM standards. The radiolucent pin point is made from sapphire crystall crystal alumina [aluminum oxide] while the A1072 pin point is made of 17-4PH stainless steel.

Performance:

  • · Results of comparisons of Penetration Testing with Axial Loading, Penetration Testing with Axial Loading and Shear Loading demonstrate that the radiolucent pins perform substantially the same as the predicate device. Multiple Penetration Tests with Axial Loading and Penetration Tests with Axial Loading and Shear Loading were run with the radiolucent pins and with the predicate device. The tests' results show the radiolucent pins performance is equal to that of the predicate device. There were no device failures during these tests.
  • · Results of comparisons of CT Images of a melon held by radiolucent pins and a melon held by stainless steel pins [predicate device] show significantly less artifact resulting with the radiolucent pins than with the stainless steel [predicate device] pins.

7. Packaging:

The MAYFIELD Radiolucent Skull Pins [radiolucent pins] are supplied in the same packaging that is used by the predicate devices - industry standard medical grade packaging [sealed TYVEK/flexible film pouches] suitable for sterile surgical devices. Cartons and shippers are of suitable design and materials to ensure product sterility, identification and protection from damage during shipping and storage and are the same as or equivalent to that used by the predicate device.

8. Sterilization:

The radiolucent pins are supplied to the surgeon STERILE, as are the predicate devices. These devices are cleaned by OMI using a validated process to remove manufacturing residue, then thev are assembled with the base, shipped to the contract assembler/packager where they are assembled/packaged in a controlled environment assembly/packaging area and sealed. The sealed pouches are then sterilized using a validated Ethylene Oxide sterilization cycle, based upon ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135-1994. Medical Devices - Validation and Routine Control of Ethylene Oxide Sterilization and the corresponding European/British standard EN 550:1994. The Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the validated sterilization cycle is 10° (SAL 10°). The radiolucent pins are packaged and sterilized in exactly the same manner as are the predicate devices.

9. Conclusion:

The radiolucent pin points are machined and the plastic bases are molded, in exactly the same manner as are the predicate device [A1072 pins]. The radiolucent skull pins are then assembled, cleaned, assembled/packaged, and sterilized in exactly the same manner as are the predicate device [A1072 pins].

The Penetration Tests that were conducted comparing the radiolucent pins to the A1072 pins show them to be equivalent, and the CT Imaging artifact comparison show the radiolucent pins are superior to the predicate device [A1072 pins].

Based on the information provided above, Ohio Medical Instrument Company, Inc. considers the MAYFIELD Radiolucent Skull Pins 4-0-A-2020 to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device, MAYFIELD Disposable Skull Pins 4-0-A-1072.
