The description focuses on the physical construction and mechanism of action of a cranial remolding orthosis, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".
Yes.
The device is prescribed to improve cranial symmetry and/or shape by applying pressure to prominent regions of an infant's cranium, which addresses a medical condition (plagiocephaly, scaphocephaly, brachycephaly) and is a form of treatment.
No
Explanation: The device is a Cranial Remolding Orthosis, which is used to improve cranial symmetry and/or shape by applying pressure to an infant's cranium. Its function is therapeutic/corrective, not diagnostic, as it does not diagnose a condition but rather treats one.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components like a plastic shell, foam liner, and hook and loop closure, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
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.
- Device Function: The Cranial Remolding Orthosis is a physical device applied externally to an infant's head. Its function is to physically reshape the skull by applying pressure and allowing for growth in specific areas.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples from the patient. Its action is purely mechanical and external.
The device is a medical device, specifically a cranial orthosis, used for therapeutic purposes (remodeling the skull shape). It does not fit the definition or function of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Cranial Remolding Orthosis is prescribed for use on infants between 3-18 months with moderate to severe nonsynostotic positional plagiocephaly, including infants with plagiocephalic, scaphocephalic, and brachycephalic-shaped heads by applying pressure to prominent regions of an infant's cranium in order to improve cranial symmetry and/or shape. The Cranial Remolding Orthosis is also prescribed for use following minimally invasive surgery for infants between 3-18 months with craniosynostosis who still need moderate to severe correction of plagiocephali-shaped, brachycephalic-shaped, and/or scaphocephalic-shaped heads.
Commonly diagnosed head deformities are positional plagiocephaly, brachycephaly (head is disproportionately wide and flat posteriorly), and scaphocephaly (head is disproportionately long and narrow). In addition, the Cranial Remolding Orthosis can be used following a minimally invasive surgery for infants with craniosynostosis who still need moderate to severe correction of plagiocephaly, brachycephaly and scaphocephaly. They are less common but represent an emerging patient group.
This condition is defined as a malformation of the skull resulting in an "oblique", "crooked", or "parallelogram" shaped head. Other similar conditions which are positional in nature are Brachycephaly and Scaphocephaly, and they result in heads that are well out of proportion to the normal width versus length. Medically diagnosed non-synostotic deformational plagiocephaly is typically assessed by a combination of clinical observation, xray, CT scan, and possibly an MRI to rule out craniosynostosis.
This conditions is caused by the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures of the skull; causing the head to grow into a usual shape. It presents in a dissimilar way to deformational (positional) plagiocephaly. However, in cases where the physician cannot make a definitive diagnosis, patients are referred to specialists such as neurosurgeons or craniofacial surgeons. These specialists will order a test such as a CT scan or MRI to confirm the diagnosis of craniosynostosis.
Following surgery to release the diseased suture, the same principles that guide cranial remolding of deformational head shapes are applicable. A prescription will be provided if the craniofacial surgeon deems that a helmet is medically necessary. In both deformational head shapes and post-surgical head shapes the Cranial Remolding Orthosis is designed to maintain total contact over the areas where growth is not desired while providing space over areas where growth is desired.
Cranial asymmetries or disproportions are commonly caused by external forces to the head and are influenced by many differing factors that include supine sleeping positions (Back to Sleep campaign in 1992), preferred head orientation, torticollis (limited head rotation), increased incidence of multiple births, low tone (hypotonia), and extended supine positioning. The device allows for growth of the flattened areas of the infant's skull into the voids within the shell and foam lining. This combination of total contact and relief allows for significant correction of the asymmetrical head shape; thereby giving the infant's skull a more symmetrical and/or proportioned shape.
The Cranial Remolding Orthosis is fabricated from a 3/16" co-polymer base plastic shell with a ½" foam interface liner. The type of material used on the foam interface liner is Pelite polvethylene foam, Plastazote, or Aliplast foam spacer fills a ½" side opening, opposite the deficit, utilizing the same material as the corresponding foam liner. The anterior inferior edge is trimmed just above the eyebrows, and the sides are trimmed above and around the ears. The posterior inferior is trimmed distally to capture the occiput. A hook and loop closure (also referred to as Velcro within the industry) is attached on the side of the deficit, bridging over the side opening, keeping the device securely in place.
Materials:
- 3/16" outer shell of copolymer plastic
- ½" hypoallergenic polyethylene foam (Pelite, Plastazote or Aliplast)
- 1 1/2" strap of dacron
- 1 1/2" chafe buckle

6.) Comparison to Predicate Device
The Cranial Remolding Orthosis is a custom orthosis used to treat an infant's abnormally shaped head from three to eighteen months of age, This condition is clinically known as positional or deformational plagiocephaly. The Cranial Remolding Orthosis contains and limits growth of these bossed and protruding areas while promoting growth of the flattened areas of the skull as facilitated by the voids and spaces created within the helmet. The Cranial Remolding Orthosis is only available when prescribed by a physician, a certified pediatric nurse practitioner or other qualified medical professional.
The Cranial Remolding Orthosis' design has been illustrated in Table 5.1 below. There is not a significant difference between the helmets' materials selections, and the processes for fabrication are substantially equivalent. The inner liner is made with hypoallergenic polyethylene foam. These materials can safely come into contact with the skin and not cause redness, rash or irritation. A speedy rivet or pop-rivet will be used to attach the strap and chafe 3

to the Cranial Remolding Orthosis. The rivet system used provides a cosmetically appealing product.
Similarities in the Cranial Remolding Orthosis and the STARband device are design, production, intended use and special controls. Both devices consist of outer plastic shells and an inner foam lining. The materials used and processes of manufacturing the device are handled in an identical manner to the predicate device, incorporating all the safety and standards of practice. The proposed indications of use, biocompatibility, function and effectiveness are equivalent to those presented by the predicate device.

Comparison of Willow Wood OMEGA Scanner vs. STARscanner
The predicate STARScanner and the OMEGA Scanner are equivalent in many ways. They both achieve the same result through slightly different means while maintaining the highest levels of safety for the patient. Both scanners are Class I FDA approved laser imaging devices that provide a 3D digital image of the patient's head that is accurate to .5mm. The both used the same computer OMEGA Tracer Software. The STARScanner uses eight cameras and four lasers to capture the image, while the OMEGA Scanner uses two cameras, one laser, and reflective stickers to capture an image that is just as accurate. The accuracy, reproducibility, and repeatability of the STARScanner and the OMEGA scanner were evaluated by scanning three cylindrical shapes five times and downloading the files three times to the digital image. Standard measurement system statistical process control procedures were used to evaluate the scan rate of error, standard deviation, repeatability, and reproducibility of multiple scans. Both devices met the predetermined acceptable criteria. Both devices are approved by the FDA to be used in scanning an infant. No eye protection is necessary as the FDA as deemed these devices as Class 1 lasers.
There are some differences between the STARScanner and the OMEGA scanner. One of the major differences between the two devices is that the predicate STARScanner is much less portable than the OMEGA scanner is; with the STARScanner the patient laying on a sled type table and has the measurement devise passed over the patients cranium when they are laying in the appropriate position. This requires the infant to lay as still as possible. The OMEGA scanner takes it readings by waving the hand wand around the infant's reflective cap; the patient can be held or sitting up.
6.)Performance Standards and Data
