No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The device description focuses on the physical electrodes and their intended use for recording and stimulation.

No.
The device is intended for recording and stimulation for diagnostic purposes during neurosurgery, not for treating a condition.

No
The device is used for intra-operative recording and stimulation, which are interventional procedures rather than diagnostic ones. While recording neuronal activity might provide information about the brain, its primary intended use is within the context of surgical intervention (functional neurosurgery), not standalone diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electrode," which is a hardware component used for recording and stimulation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "intra-operative recording of single unit neuronal activity or intra-operative stimulation of neural elements in the brain." This involves direct interaction with the patient's living tissue (in vivo) during surgery.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This is done outside of the body (in vitro).

The FHC microTargeting® Electrodes are used within the body during a surgical procedure, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Haer:

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.
