The summary describes a surgical spear for fluid absorption, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate AI/ML technology.
No
The device is intended to absorb fluids during ophthalmic surgery, which is a supportive function and not a direct therapeutic action to treat or cure a disease or condition.
No
Explanation: The device is described as surgical spears intended to absorb fluids during ophthalmic surgery. This is a functional role for fluid management during a procedure, not for diagnosing a medical condition.
No
The device description and intended use clearly indicate a physical device (surgical spears) used to absorb fluids, not a software-only application.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "absorb fluids from the operative field during ophthalmic surgery." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure to manage the surgical environment, not a device used to test samples outside the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information
- Using reagents or assays
- Performing tests in a laboratory setting
The device appears to be a surgical accessory used for fluid management during ophthalmic surgery.

Dear Mr. Gubachy:
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.

In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
