Intended Use
Eye Spheres are permanent implants that occupy the eye cavity when it has become necessary to surgically remove the eye (enucleation) or the contents of the eye sac (evisceration) Conformers are temporary devices which maintain the shape of the eye and prevent closure or adhesion during the healing process
Device Description
When an eye is severely damaged by trauma or disease, it may be necessary to remove it surgically. The most common procedures are evisceration (removal of the contents of the eye) or enucleation (removal of the eye itself). Eye spheres are permanent implants to occupy the cavity that results from surgery. Conformers are temporary devices, which maintain the shape of the eye and prevent closure or adhesion during the healing process. When healing is complete, conformers are replaced with prosthesis. Eye Spheres and Conformers are made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), a hard, clear plastic that is lightweight, inert and virtually unbreakable. Eye spheres are available in even diameters from 10mm through 22mm. Conformers are available in three sizes: small, medium, large. Conformers may be ordered with or without holes. Eye spheres and Conformers are FDA Class II products.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe physical implants and temporary devices made of PMMA, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would incorporate AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The devices, an Eye Sphere and a Conformer, are used in a medical context to maintain the shape of the eye cavity and prevent adhesion during the healing process after surgical removal of the eye or its contents, which are therapeutic functions.

No

Explanation: The device, consisting of "Eye Spheres" and "Conformers," is a permanent or temporary implant/device used to maintain the shape of the eye cavity after surgical removal of the eye or its contents. Its purpose is structural and supportive, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states that the devices are physical implants and temporary devices made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), which are hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices that are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that Eye Spheres and Conformers are implants and temporary devices used to occupy the eye cavity or maintain its shape after surgery. They are physical devices placed within the body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical and structural within the eye socket.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant/device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Griffith:

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.
