Intended Use
The Concentric Embolic Pearls are intended for use in the embolization of hypervascularized tumors in the peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The Concentric Embolic Pearls are non-resorbable, hydrogel-based spherical microbeads. The Embolic Pearls are delivered via a catheter in an amount and size appropriate for the targeted area. The Embolic Pearls slow/stop blood flow to hypervascularized tumors by occluding the blood vessel which provides blood flow to the tumor.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (embolic beads) and its performance characteristics. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is used to embolize hypervascularized tumors, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is an embolic agent used to block blood flow to tumors, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is a physical, hydrogel-based spherical microbead, which is a hardware component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The Concentric Embolic Pearls are implanted into the body to physically block blood vessels. They are a therapeutic device used to treat a condition (hypervascularized tumors) by directly interacting with the patient's anatomy.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the device being used to analyze any specimens taken from the body. Its function is entirely within the patient's circulatory system.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Concentric Embolic Pearls are a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Concentric Embolic Pearls have successfully passed all performance and functional testing performed demonstrating that the device performs in accordance with the requirements of the Product Specification. In all biocompatibility studies performed, the results for the Concentric Embolic Pearls was substantially equivalent to the negative control article and no significant adverse reactions were noted in any study conducted. Results of chemical assays performed clearly demonstrate that no harmful levels of residuals, monomers, or leachables are detectable in the Concentric Embolic Pearls following hydration. Results of in-vivo animal testing performed demonstrated consistent delivery of the Embolic Pearls to the treatment site, that no vessel damage occurs when the Embolic Pearls are deployed to the treatment site, and overall, the Embolic Pearls performed similarly to the EmboGold Microspheres.

§ 870.3300 Vascular embolization device.

(a)
Identification. A vascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to control hemorrhaging due to aneurysms, certain types of tumors (e.g., nephroma, hepatoma, uterine fibroids), and arteriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in neurovascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 882.5950 of this chapter.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 870.1(e).
