More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are for simple, non-electronic, stainless steel scleral plugs. There is no mention of software, image processing, AI, or ML.

No
The device is described as a surgical instrument (scleral plug) intended to maintain the patency of an incision during ophthalmic surgery, not to treat, diagnose, mitigate, or prevent disease.

No
The device is described as a scleral plug, intended to maintain the patency of an incision during surgical procedures, not to diagnose a condition. Its function is interventional, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product made of stainless steel (scleral plugs) and does not mention any software component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the scleral plugs are intended to "maintain patency of a previously made incision in the sclera of the eye, during ophthalmic surgical procedures." This is a surgical tool used during a procedure on the body, not a device used to test samples outside the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Information: The device does not provide any diagnostic information about a patient's condition. Its purpose is purely mechanical and procedural.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument or accessory, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 886.4155 Scleral plug.

(a)
Identification. A scleral plug is a prescription device intended to provide temporary closure of a scleral incision during an ophthalmic surgical procedure. These plugs prevent intraocular fluid and pressure loss when instruments are withdrawn from the eye. Scleral plugs include a head portion remaining above the sclera, which can be gripped for insertion and removal, and a shaft that fits inside the scleral incision. Scleral plugs are removed before completing the surgery.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for the scleral plug are as follows:(1) The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 886.9 if the material is a surgical grade stainless steel with or without a gold, silver, or titanium coating. The special controls for the surgical grade stainless steel scleral plug (with or without a gold, silver, or titanium coating) are:
(i) The device must be demonstrated to be sterile during the labeled shelf life;
(ii) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible; and
(iii) Labeling must include all information required for the safe and effective use of the device, including specific instructions regarding the proper sizing, placement, and removal of the device.
(2) The device is not exempt from premarket notification procedures if it is composed of a material other than surgical grade stainless steel (with or without a gold, silver, or titanium coating). The special controls for scleral plugs made of other materials are:
(i) The device must be demonstrated to be sterile during the labeled shelf life;
(ii) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(iii) Characterization of the device materials must be performed;
(iv) Performance data must demonstrate acceptable mechanical properties under simulated clinical use conditions including insertion and removal of the device;
(v) Performance data must demonstrate adequately low levels of the extractables or residues from manufacturing (or processing) of the device; and
(vi) Labeling must include all information required for the safe and effective use of the device, including specific instructions regarding the proper sizing, placement, and removal of the device.

Dear Leonard Kastrilevich:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of February 26, 2003.

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
