More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical applicator for delivering fluids and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.

No.
The device is used for the simultaneous delivery of two fluids or solutions onto a surgical site, which is an ancillary function during surgical procedures and not a direct therapeutic action on the patient.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an applicator for delivering fluids to a surgical site, which is a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one. There is no indication of it being used to identify or analyze a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical components (Y-Connector, Spray Tips, Plunger Cap) and describes a physical applicator for delivering fluids, 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 the "simultaneous delivery of two non-homogenous fluids or solutions onto a surgical site." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure to apply substances directly to tissue, not to test samples outside the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The components listed (Y-Connector, Spray Tips, Plunger Cap) are consistent with a device for applying liquids, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely for the application of fluids during surgery.

Dear Mr. Ankerud:

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 Lederal 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 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 (240) 276-0115.
