No
The summary describes a set of surgical instruments and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as "specialized surgical instruments intended to be used to perform lumbar decompressive procedures for the treatment of various spinal conditions," directly indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as a set of specialized surgical instruments for performing lumbar decompressive procedures, which are treatments, not diagnoses. There is no mention of the device being used to identify or analyze a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "set of specialized surgical instruments," which are physical hardware components.

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 device is a set of surgical instruments used to perform lumbar decompressive procedures. This is a surgical intervention performed directly on the patient, not a test performed on a sample of bodily fluid or tissue in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a set of surgical instruments.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a surgical tool used for treatment.

Dear Mr. Coombs:

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 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the [kit/tray] have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit/tray. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, and labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

FEB - 4 2010

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
