No
The device description focuses on the physical properties and composition of the microspheres, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is intended for embolization of hypervascular tumors and arteriovenous malformations, which is a therapeutic intervention to block blood flow to target tissues.
No
The device is intended for embolization, which is a therapeutic intervention to block blood flow, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly describes physical microspheres made of a macromer derived from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), supplied in vials or syringes. This is a physical medical device, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that LC Bead Microspheres & Bead Block™ Compressible Microspheres are used for embolization. This is a procedure where the microspheres are introduced directly into the body (specifically, into arteries) to block blood flow to a target tissue. This is an in vivo (within the living body) procedure, not an in vitro (outside the living body) diagnostic test.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "embolization of hypervascular tumors and arteriovenous malformations," which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the microspheres and how they are delivered and function within the vascular system. There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens.
Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is a therapeutic medical device used for embolization, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
LC Bead and Bead Block™ Compressible Microspheres are preformed soft, deformable microspheres that occlude arteries for the purpose of blocking the blood flow to a target tissue, such as a hypervascular tumor or arteriovenous malformations (AVM's). LC Bead and Bead Block ™ Compressible Microspheres consist of a macromer derived from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The fully polymerized microsphere is approximately 90% water and is compressible to approximately 20-30% by diameter. Bead Block™ Compressible Microspheres is dyed blue (LC Bead are available in natural color) to aid in the visualization of the microspheres in the delivery syringe. The microspheres can be delivered through typical microcatheters in the 1.8-5Fr range.
LC Bead Microspheres is supplied sterile and packaged in sealed glass vials. Bead Block™ Compressible Microspheres is supplied sterile and packaged in a polycarbonate syringe. Two quantities will be available in a vial: (1) 1.0 mL LC Bead /Bead Block™ Compressible Microspheres in sterile physiologic buffered saline (PBS) to a volume of 8 mL, and (2) 2.0mL LC Bead/Bead Block™ Compressible Microspheres in sterile PBS to a volume of 8 mL.
LC Bead and Bead Block Compressible Microspheres are supplied in several unit sizes covering the range from 100um to 1200um diameter.
At the time of use, LC Bead/Bead Block™ Compressible Microspheres is mixed with a nonionic contrast agent, e.g. Omnipaque, to make a 30-50% by weight solution. The bolus of contrast agent elutes from the vascular bed to leave a radiolucent, embolized vessel.

§ 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 Mr. Greenbaum:
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.
