Not Found

No
The summary describes passive implants (plates) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is described as plates used for trauma, surgery, and reconstructive procedures of the craniofacial skeleton, which suggests it is used to repair or support rather than directly treat a disease or condition in a therapeutic manner.

No
Explanation: The device description states its purpose is for reconstructive procedures and surgeries, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states "The Synthes Orbital Plates come in a variety of shapes and sizes" and are "sterile / non-sterile and for single use only," indicating a physical hardware component (plates).

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Synthes Craniofacial Plates are implants used for surgical procedures on the craniofacial skeleton. They are physical plates implanted into the body to stabilize bones.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, laboratory testing, or providing diagnostic information based on samples.

Therefore, the Synthes Craniofacial Plates are a surgical implant device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Boyle:

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 your 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) 594-4613.
