More Information

Not Found

None

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device for CSF management and does not mention any software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

Yes
The intended use explicitly states "therapeutic drug access to the cord/or diversion of cerebrospinal fluid," indicating therapeutic purposes.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is for "diagnostic studies."

No

The device description clearly states "Accura Elite Gravity Compensating Reservoir," which is a physical, implantable device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes implantation into the brain for diagnostic studies, therapeutic drug access, or CSF diversion. This involves direct interaction with the patient's body and physiological fluids in vivo.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. They are used outside the body (in vitro).

This device is clearly an implantable medical device used within the body, not for testing samples taken from the body.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

This device is intended for implantation over either right or left frontal horn, in conjunction with a shunt system for use as a means of diagnostic studies, therapeutic drug access to the CSF, and/or diversion of cerebrospinal fluid.

§ 882.5550 Central nervous system fluid shunt and components.

(a)
Identification. A central nervous system fluid shunt is a device or combination of devices used to divert fluid from the brain or other part of the central nervous system to an internal delivery site or an external receptacle for the purpose of relieving elevated intracranial pressure or fluid volume (e.g., due to hydrocephalus). Components of a central nervous system shunt include catheters, valved catheters, valves, connectors, and other accessory components intended to facilitate use of the shunt or evaluation of a patient with a shunt.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Ms. Smith:

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. 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.
