No
The description focuses on mechanical components and their function, with no mention of AI/ML terms or data processing.

No
The device is described as being indicated for covering burr holes and for fixation of cranial bone flaps, which are structural and mechanical functions, not therapeutic. It does not treat a disease or improve a health condition.

No
The device description indicates its use for covering burr holes and fixing bone flaps, which are surgical and reconstructive functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components (two disks connected by a tensioned ratcheting shaft), indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for covering burr holes and fixing cranial bone flaps. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical clamp designed for mechanical fixation of bone.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, etc.) outside of the body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for conditions. This device is a surgical implant used for structural support.

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 (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.
