More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a substance applied to electrodes to reduce sticking, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is described as being used on electrodes to reduce sticking, which is not a therapeutic function.

No
The device is described as a substance used on electrodes to reduce sticking, not to diagnose a condition. Its intended use is to facilitate the function of electrodes, not to provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "yellow-brown substance" available on a sponge or in a bottle, indicating a physical product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for use on electrodes to reduce sticking." This describes a function related to the physical interaction of a device (electrodes) with tissue, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a substance applied to electrodes. It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Measuring analytes
    • Using reagents for testing

Therefore, the Patton Surgical PolarCoat, as described, functions as a lubricant or coating for surgical electrodes and does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Ballesteros:

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.
