The summary describes a physical medical device (a needle) for skin testing and contains no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, or ML.
No
The device is indicated for in-vivo diagnostic skin testing, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one. Therapeutic devices are used for treating or preventing diseases.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "indicated for in-vivo diagnostic skin testing using the puncture technique." This explicitly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device is described as a "bifurcated allergy skin testing needle," which is a physical hardware component used for skin testing. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "in-vivo diagnostic skin testing". In-vivo means "within the living organism". IVD devices are used "in vitro", meaning "outside the living organism", typically on samples of bodily fluids or tissues.
- Device Description (or lack thereof): While the description is missing, the intended use points to a physical tool used directly on the patient's skin.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "Skin", which is a living tissue within the body.
Therefore, the bifurcated allergy skin testing needle, as described, is an in-vivo diagnostic device, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Wolfe:
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 (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits vour device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801). please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4618. Also, please note the regulation entitled.
