More Information

Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The device description focuses on electrosurgical technology.

Yes
The device is indicated for ablation, coagulation, and decompression of disc material to treat symptomatic patients with contained herniated discs, which is a therapeutic function.

No

The device is indicated for treatment (ablation, coagulation, and decompression) of disc material, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "bipolar, single use, high frequency electrosurgical device," which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "ablation, coagulation, and decompression of disc material to treat symptomatic patients with contained herniated discs." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "bipolar, single use, high frequency electrosurgical device." Electrosurgical devices are used for surgical procedures, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays

IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is used for direct surgical intervention.

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.

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. 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. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
