Device Description
The Piezolith 3000 Triple Focus consists of (1) a shock wave generator, which includes an adjustable therapy head/coupling mechanism mounted on an articulating arm or (when X·ray imaging is used) mounted to a swivel slide on C-arm (LITHOARM); (2) a control console (device trolley); (3) ultrasound imaging system for localization; (4) an optional X-ray system for localization; and (5) a treatment table.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a lithotripter with standard components for generating shock waves and imaging for localization. There is no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing beyond basic localization.

Yes
The device is intended to fragment urinary stones, which is a direct treatment of a medical condition.

No
The device is described as being for fragmenting urinary stones, which is a treatment (therapeutic) function, not a diagnostic one. While it uses imaging for localization, the primary intended use is stated as fragmentation.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a shock wave generator, control console, imaging systems, and a treatment table. This is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to fragment urinary stones within the body (in the kidney and ureter). IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The components described (shock wave generator, therapy head, imaging systems, treatment table) are all used for a procedure performed on the patient's body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components associated with in vitro diagnostics.

This device is a therapeutic device used for lithotripsy, a procedure to break up kidney stones.

§ 876.5990 Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter.

(a)
Identification. An extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter is a device that focuses ultrasonic shock waves into the body to noninvasively fragment urinary calculi within the kidney or ureter. The primary components of the device are a shock wave generator, high voltage generator, control console, imaging/localization system, and patient table. Prior to treatment, the urinary stone is targeted using either an integral or stand-alone localization/imaging system. Shock waves are typically generated using electrostatic spark discharge (spark gap), electromagnetically repelled membranes, or piezoelectric crystal arrays, and focused onto the stone with either a specially designed reflector, dish, or acoustic lens. The shock waves are created under water within the shock wave generator, and are transferred to the patient's body using an appropriate acoustic interface. After the stone has been fragmented by the focused shock waves, the fragments pass out of the body with the patient's urine.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls) (FDA guidance document: “Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications (510(k)'s) for Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripters Indicated for the Fragmentation of Kidney and Ureteral Calculi.”)

In all instances, the Piezolith 3000 Triple-Focus functioned as intended and the results observed were as expected.

Substantial Equivalence

The Piezolith 3000 Triple Focus is as safe and effective as the Piezolith 3000 (K032958), the Karl Storz Modulith Lithotripter (K010340, K012482, K011700), and the Direx Systems Corporation Integra (K053640, K062147). The Piezolith 3000 Triple Focus has the same intended uses/indications for use, and similar technological characteristics and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor technological differences between the Piezolith 3000 Triple Focus and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the Piezolith 3000 Triple-Focus is as safe and effective as the predicate devices. Thus, the Piezolith 3000 Triple Focus is substantially equivalent.

Re: K072538 Trade/Device Name: Piezolith 3000 Triple-Focus Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy System Regulation Number: 21 CFR §876.5990 Regulation Name: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter Regulatory Class: II Product Code: LNS Dated: January 23, 2008 Received: January 23, 2008

Dear Mr. Shapiro:

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 (Premarket Approval), 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.

Image /page/2/Picture/9 description: The image shows a circular logo with the text "1906-2006" at the top and "Centennial" at the bottom. The letters "FDA" are prominently displayed in the center of the logo. The logo is surrounded by a dotted border and star shapes.

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 Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter.
