Not Found

No
The summary describes a silicone implant for surgical augmentation and reconstruction, with no mention of software, data processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is a silicone implant used for augmentation and reconstructive surgery, which reshapes the body and minimizes defects, but it does not treat or cure a disease or medical condition.

No
The device is described as an implant used for augmentation and reconstructive surgery, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made from silicone elastomer, which is a hardware 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. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The AART Calf Implant is a physical implant made of silicone elastomer that is surgically placed inside the body for augmentation and reconstruction.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures to reshape the calf, not to perform diagnostic tests on bodily samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the AART Calf Implant is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 874.3620 Ear, nose, and throat synthetic polymer material.

(a)
Identification. Ear, nose, and throat synthetic polymer material is a device material that is intended to be implanted for use as a space-occupying substance in the reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. The device is used, for example, in augmentation rhinoplasty and in tissue defect closures in the esophagus. The device is shaped and formed by the suregon to conform to the patient's needs. This generic type of device is made of material such as polyamide mesh or foil and porous polyethylene.(b)
Classification. Class II.
