No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical properties and delivery method of embolization particles, with no mention of AI or ML. The performance studies rely on clinical data from existing devices and registries, not on the development or validation of an AI/ML algorithm.
Yes
The device is intended for the "embolization of the blood supply to symptomatic uterine fibroids," which is a therapeutic intervention to treat a medical condition.
No
The device is described as embolization particles used to block the blood supply to uterine fibroids, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device is described as physical particles made of polyvinyl alcohol, intended for delivery via catheter. This clearly indicates a hardware-based medical device, not software only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that these are physical particles intended for embolization (blocking blood vessels) within the body to treat uterine fibroids. They are delivered via a catheter and used under fluoroscopic control. This is an in vivo (within the living body) procedure, not an in vitro (in glass/outside the body) test.
The information provided describes a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

§ 870.3300 Vascular embolization device.
(a)
Identification. A vascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to control hemorrhaging due to aneurysms, certain types of tumors (e.g., nephroma, hepatoma, uterine fibroids), and arteriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in neurovascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 882.5950 of this chapter.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 870.1(e).

Dear Ms. Galin:
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.
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 Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
21 CFR 876.xxx | (Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology) | 240-276-0115 |
