No
The summary describes a bone cement and its intended use in vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The predicate device is also a bone cement.

Yes
The device is a bone cement intended for fixation of pathological fractures due to various conditions, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The provided text describes the device as a bone cement for fixing vertebral fractures, indicating a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a polymethylmethacrylate bone cement, which is a physical material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Parallax® Acrylic Resin Cartridge with TRACERS is a bone cement intended for the fixation of pathological fractures of the vertebral body using vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures. This is a surgical implant/material used directly within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.

The information provided describes a device used in a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Dear Ms. Defiesta-Ng:

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.
