More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (a shunt) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

Yes
The device is described as a temporary conduit that allows blood flow between the common and internal carotid arteries during carotid endarterectomies, which is a therapeutic surgical procedure.

No
The device description indicates it is a "tapered shunt used to divert blood flow," which describes a therapeutic or interventional device, not one used for diagnosis. Its purpose is to facilitate blood flow during surgery, not to identify or characterize a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "tapered shunt," which is a physical, hardware component used to divert blood flow. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • This device is a surgical tool (a shunt) used during a surgical procedure (carotid endarterectomy) to manage blood flow within the patient's body. It does not analyze specimens in vitro.

The description clearly indicates its function as a temporary conduit for blood flow within the patient's circulatory system during surgery. This is a surgical device, not an IVD.

Dear Mr. McPherson:

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.
