The summary describes a physical gel implant and its properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is a temporary implant used to augment vocal folds for improved function, directly addressing a medical condition (vocal fold insufficiency).
No
Explanation: The device is described as a soft tissue bulking agent for vocal fold medialization to improve glottal closure, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly indicates a physical gel material intended for injection, not a software product.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the VF LiquiGel is for vocal fold medialization through injection as a soft tissue bulking agent. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body to improve a physical condition (vocal fold insufficiency).
- Device Description: The description details a sterile gel for injection, not a reagent or instrument used to examine specimens from the human body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions through in vitro testing, or providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on such analysis.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information about the body. This device is directly implanted into the body for a therapeutic purpose.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The VF LiquiGel is indicated for vocal fold medialization in the treatment of vocal fold insufficiency, where insufficiency may be improved by injection of a soft tissue bulking agent. VF LiquiGel injection augments the size of the displaced or deformed vocal fold so that it may meet the opposing fold at the midline for improved glottal closure. Improved glottal closure may allow improved phonation, improvement of cough, and an improved ability to protect the airway during swallowing. VF LiquiGel is a temporary implant that degrades over time. The product is intended to be durable for a minimum of one month.

Device Description
Sterile, latex free, non-pyrogenic, highly thixotropic, high yield strength clear gel with a neutral pH. The durability of the gel is due to slow degradation of the synthetic gel carrier. The thixotropic character of the gel allows it to be a very thick and cohesive gel but able to be injected through very fine needles with minimal force.

§ 874.3620 Ear, nose, and throat synthetic polymer material.
(a)
Identification. Ear, nose, and throat synthetic polymer material is a device material that is intended to be implanted for use as a space-occupying substance in the reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. The device is used, for example, in augmentation rhinoplasty and in tissue defect closures in the esophagus. The device is shaped and formed by the suregon to conform to the patient's needs. This generic type of device is made of material such as polyamide mesh or foil and porous polyethylene.(b)

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALANCE COMPARISON
1. Indications Summary
The "Indication Statement" for the VF LiquiGel is substantiated by the results of the performance evaluations and comparison testing to the predicate device. The differences between the Subject and the Predicate do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the VF LiquiGel. VF LiguiGel is a temporary implant that degrades over time. The product is intended to be durable for a minimum of one month.
2. Technological Characteristics Summary
The VF LiquiGel is substantially equivalent in design, materials and fundamental scientific technology to the predicate devices. Any differences between the Subject and the Predicate device are minor and do not raise issues regarding safety or effectiveness.
3. Performance Summary
The VF LiquiGel performance data meet the applicable standards and fulfill the device requirements as defined in the user specifications.

Dear Mr. Marcoux:
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 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.
