More Information

No
The summary describes a physical device (a spacer) and its function, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any terms related to AI/ML.

No.
Explanation: The device is used to maintain an opening post-surgery and prevent obstruction, which is a supportive function rather than directly treating a disease or condition. Its purpose is to facilitate healing and prevent complications, which aligns more with a device that provides temporary support or mechanical assistance rather than a therapeutic intervention in itself.

No
The device is described as a "postoperative spacer" used to "maintain an opening" and "prevent obstruction" in the frontal sinuses. This function is therapeutic and interventional, rather than diagnostic. There is no mention of assessing conditions, taking measurements for diagnosis, or providing diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical "Frontal Sinus Spacer" that is manually removed, implying a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the device is a "postoperative spacer to maintain an opening to the frontal sinuses." This is a physical device inserted into the body to serve a mechanical function.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to maintain an opening and prevent obstruction within the body after surgery. This is a therapeutic or supportive function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

The device is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a surgical or implantable device (even if temporary), not an in vitro diagnostic.

Dear Ms. Yen:

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.

2

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 (240) 276-0115.
