No
The summary describes a system of physical plates and screws for surgical use and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as a plate and screw system intended for use in surgical procedures to repair or reconstruct bones, not to treat a disease or condition therapeutically. It provides structural support rather than imparting a therapeutic effect.

No
This device is a surgical implant (plate and screw system) used for reconstructive procedures and trauma stabilization, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components (plates and screws) made of titanium, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a surgical system for fixing bones in the craniofacial region. This is a direct surgical intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as plates and screws made of titanium, designed for surgical implantation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status.

IVDs are typically used for diagnostic testing performed on samples taken from the body, not for direct surgical repair of the body itself.

Dear Mr. Talmor:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of April 30, 2008.

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 (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 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 (OS) 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 continue 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) 276-011.
