No
The device description focuses solely on the physical components (plates, screws, mesh) and their materials and dimensions. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any functionality that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
No.
The device is a system of titanium bone plates and screws for cranial closure in cranial surgery, which are implants used for structural support, not for treating a disease or medical condition.
No
The device description indicates it consists of titanium bone plates and screws for cranial closure applications, which are used in surgery rather than for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components made of titanium (bone plates, screws, burr hole covers, mesh), indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The Frontier Devices Neuro System is described as titanium bone plates, screws, burr hole covers, and mesh. Its intended use is for "selective trauma of the cranial skeleton and cranial surgery." These are all devices that are implanted or used within the body during a surgical procedure.
The description clearly indicates a surgical implant system, not a diagnostic test performed on bodily fluids or tissues.

Device Description
The Frontier Devices Neuro System consists of titanium bone plates and screws of various shapes and sizes.
Plates
The plates are made from unalloyed titanium that conforms to the ASTM F67 standard. Plates are 0.4 and 0.6 mm thick and come in a variety of shapes and sizes that are designed for cranial closure applications. The shapes and corresponding sizes include:
Straight plates 9-12mm long (1x1, 2x2, 5 and 7 holes)
Box plates 10mm x 10mm to 16mm x 16mm (4 hole)
X-plate 8mm x 8mm (4 hole)
Y-plate 16mm long (6 and 8 holes)
Double Y-plate 18mm to 21mm long (6 and 8 hole) Strut plate 24 and 35mm long (6 and 8 hole)
Burr Hole Covers
The burr hole covers are are made from unalloyed titanium that conforms to the ASTM F67 standard. They are 0.4 and 0.6 mm thick and are circular in shape with equi-spaced drill holes around the circumference. The burr hole covers have two basic shapes. The burr hole cover for shunt has a segment of the circular burr hole cover missing which is where a shunt device is placed. The other burr hole cover is a complete circle. The corresponding sizes include:
Burr hole covers Burr hole covers for shunt 12mm to 24mm diameter 12mm to 24mm diameter
Mesh
The mesh is made from unalloyed titanium that conforms to ASTM F67 standard. They are 0.4 and 0.6mm thick and rectangular in shape, 90mm x 120mm.
Screws
The screws are self-drilling screws that do not require a pre-drilled pilot hole and are made from a titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V, that conforms to the ASTM F136 standard. Screws are 1.5 to 1.8 mm in diameter and range in length from 3 to 6 mm.

§ 882.5320 Preformed alterable cranioplasty plate.
(a)
Identification. A preformed alterable cranioplasty plate is a device that is implanted into a patient to repair a skull defect. It is constructed of a material, e.g., tantalum, that can be altered or reshaped at the time of surgery without changing the chemical behavior of the material.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Technology
Frontier Devices Neuro System
Frontier Devices Neuro System is intended for use in selective trauma of the cranial skeleton and cranial surgery.
The plates and screws of the Frontier Devices Neuro Closure System have similar dimensions, designs and materials as the predicate devices. The plates Characteristics are 0.4 and 0.6 mm thick, made from unalloyed titanium (ASTM F67) and have similar design shapes and sizes as the predicate devices. The screws are all made from titanium alloy (ASTM F136) with diameters of 1.5 mm and 1.8 mm and lengths of 3-6 mm which are similar to the predicate devices.
Performance Tests Screw insertion tests on representative screws showed them to have similar results as predicate screws. In addition, LAL endotoxin testing was done on screws, plates and mesh devices and all the devices had endotoxin levels of less than 0.06 EU/ml.
Substantial Equivalence
The Frontier Devices Neuro Closure System consists of plates and screws that are similar in material composition and have the same indications for use as the predicate device. All of the technical characteristics are substantially equivalent to the corresponding characteristics of the predicate devices. There may be slight differences in dimensions and shapes between the Frontier Devices Neuro Closure System and the predicate devices, however, the information provided in this submission proves substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.

Dear Dr. Peterson:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
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.
