K/DEN numbers are not provided in the text.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a custom-made thermoplastic orthosis for cranial reshaping and does not mention any AI or ML components, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.

Yes
The device is described as an "orthosis" intended to treat a medical condition (positional plagiocephaly) by applying pressure to reshape an infant's cranium, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as an orthosis intended to apply pressure and provide realignment space to improve cranial symmetry and shape in infants with positional plagiocephaly, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "custom made medical device" with a "thermoplastic construct" and a "semi-rigid outer shell" made of polypropylene and polyethylene, clearly indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Cranial Solutions Orthosis is a physical device applied externally to the infant's head. Its function is to apply pressure and provide space for cranial reshaping. It does not involve testing or analyzing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a physical intervention for a structural condition (positional plagiocephaly), not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, the Cranial Solutions Orthosis falls under the category of a medical device, specifically an orthosis, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

The device is of thermoplastic construct. A semi-rigid outer shell of Orthopedic grade copolymer polypropylene thermobonded to a medium durometer polyethylene foam inner liner(Volara). The formula for the outer shell is [ch(ch3)ch2-] 90% polypropylene and 10% polyethylene. By design the CSO is a dynamic orthotic device. Both devices are of thermoplastic construction consisting of a semirigid outer shell bonded to a soft inner lining. Both outer shells are of Orthopedic grade plastic with hazard data all within OSHA permissible exposure limits with none know medical conditions aggravated by exposure. The CSO and DOC inner linings have been tested and approved by the FDA for long term skin contact. Both devices are of dynamic design , and when applied to an infant mild pressure, a low energy load , will constrain and correct abnormal growth . Normal growth will take place in the provided space and the cranial symmetry will be much improved. Standard treatment time for both cranial orthoses is three to four months. By design specifications and design intent the CSO is vacuum formed over a modified cranial model obtained from a plaster cast taken of the infant's calvarium . Both the cranial solutions orthosis and the predicate device are formed only after the cranial model has been corrected or restored to as near as complete symmetry as possible. This exact correction will produce a very accurate and effective fit.

Both devices are Not intended for infant's with craniosynostosis or hydrocephalus. Both devices provide cranial orthotic treatment for infant's with nonsyndromic head deformity as a result of the utero process: e.g. compressional forces exerted by the lumbosacral spine, uterine malformation, fetal malpositioning, multiple fetuses oligohydramnios, and the current supine positioning recommendations. By design the CSO and DOC have a single lateral opening on the side adjacent to the flattened occipital-parieto region, provide a generous opening on top for air flow, and are very light in weight. Both devices can easily be adjusted for normal growth during the treatment process, and are easy to apply and remove by the care giver.

Both devices are of thermoplastic construction consisting of a semirigid outer shell bonded to a soft inner lining. Both outer shells are of Orthopedic grade plastic with hazard data all within OSHA permissible exposure limits with none know medical conditions aggravated by exposure. The CSO and DOC inner linings have been tested and approved by the FDA for long term skin contact. Both devices are of dynamic design , and when applied to an infant mild pressure, a low energy load , will constrain and correct abnormal growth . Normal growth will take place in the provided space and the cranial symmetry will be much improved.Standard treatment time for both cranial orthoses is three to four months.

By design specifications and design intent the CSO is vacuum formed over a modified cranial model obtained from a plaster cast taken of the infant's calvarium . Both the cranial solutions orthosis and the predicate device are formed only after the cranial model has been corrected or restored to as near as complete symmetry as possible. This exact correction will produce a very accurate and effective fit.

In keeping with our goal: To provide the safest, effective, and most comfortable cranial orthosis on an individual, custom, and prescription basis we at Cranial Solutions employ an important clinical tool. Our CSO Anthropometric measurement form. After obtaining the plaster impression we complete this form and explain it to parent or care giver. By encouraging the parents to be involved in the measurements(progress) they will keep and understand the need for biweekly follow-up appointments. By having the cranial orthosis and head circumference evaluated and recorded at preset intervals by the practitioner the risk factors can be reduced and the infant will have a much improved clinical outcome with their cranial orthosis.
