More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical tool for shaping a pacemaker lead and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as an "implantation tool" that "assists defining and varying the curvature of the distal portion of the pacemaker lead during implantation." It does not directly treat a disease or condition; rather, it facilitates the implantation of another device (pacemaker lead) which is therapeutic.

No

The device is described as an "implantation tool" that helps physicians vary the curvature of a pacemaker lead during implantation. Its purpose is to facilitate the physical act of implantation, not to diagnose a medical condition or provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "sterile, single-use, disposable implantation tool," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the Steerable Stylet is an "implantation tool" used to "define and vary the curvature of the distal end of a compatible pacemaker lead" during "lead implantation for cardiac pacing." This is a tool used during a surgical procedure on the patient's body, not for testing specimens outside the body.

The information provided focuses on the device's function as a surgical tool for lead placement, which is not the purpose of an IVD.

Trade Name: Steerable Stylet Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.1380 Regulation Name: Catheter Stylet Regulatory Class: Class II (two) Product Code: DRB Dated: December 31, 2003 Received: January 2, 2004

Dear Mr. Jenkins:

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. 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) 594-4646. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
