No
The summary describes a physical implant (ePTFE Sheeting) for soft tissue repair and makes no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or cures a disease or condition. The ePTFE Sheeting is described as "augmentation or repair of the soft tissue," which indicates it is used for structural support or correction, not treatment of a disease or condition. While repair can be part of therapy, the description focuses on augmentation and repair of tissue, which commonly refers to devices used to restore form or function rather than actively treat a disease.

No
The device, ePTFE Sheeting, is indicated for augmentation or repair of soft tissue, which is a treatment rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device is described as "ePTFE Sheeting," which is a material used for soft tissue repair, indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "augmentation or repair of the soft tissue of the facial area." This describes a surgical or implantable device used directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
    • Using reagents or assays.

The device description points towards a medical device used in a surgical or clinical setting for tissue repair or augmentation.

Dear Mr. Meade:

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.
