The DCS Lacrimal Stent is intended for use during repair of the lacrimal system for intubation and bypass to canalicular pathologies.
Device Description
The DCS Lacrimal Stent is a sterile, single-use lacrimal stent. The DCS Lacrimal Stent is a hollow flexible silicone lacrimal stent designed to be positioned distally in the paranasal cavities and proximally at the medial fornix conjuntival reflection. It is composed of a medical grade silicone tube with an internal diameter of 1.0 mm and with a total length of 15.5 mm.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and function of a silicone stent, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for use during repair of the lacrimal system for intubation and bypass to canalicular pathologies, which restores the normal function of the lacrimal system. Additionally, the performance studies mention that the device facilitates the drainage of tear fluid from the eye, implying a therapeutic effect.

No

The device is described as a stent for intubation and bypass, intended for repair of the lacrimal system. Its function is to facilitate drainage, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "sterile, single-use lacrimal stent" made of "medical grade silicone tube," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside the body.
  • Device Function: The DCS Lacrimal Stent is a physical device intended for intubation and bypass within the lacrimal system. It is surgically placed within the body to facilitate drainage.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a procedure performed on the patient's lacrimal system, not a test performed on a sample from the patient.

The device is a surgical implant/device used to treat a physical condition within the body, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.

Comparison Table of the DCS Lacrimal Stent to the Predicates

Device dimensions are suitable for the intended uses. Any differences in technology are in regards to the manner by the devices are designed, with the narrower / longer 510(k) predicates for intra-ductal intubation and the wider / shorter Jones Tubes and DCS Lacrimal Stents for extra-ductal intubation. These differences do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Performance Testing

The performance of the DCS Lacrimal Stent was verified by bench and cadaver testing to have adequate tensile strength and internal flow profile for intubation of the nasal punctum and lacrimal anatomy to facilitate the drainage of tear fluid from the eye.

Biocompatibility

The medical grade silicone material used in the DCS Lacrimal Stent was successfully tested for biocompatibility and is suitable for the intended use as a prolonged contact

duration device, externally communicating with tissue, bone, dentin, as described in ISO 10993. The biocompatibility is substantially equivalent to the 510(k) predicate devices and there are no new types of safety questions.

Sterilization

The Device is labeled sterile, for single-use only. The packaging and contents are radiation sterilized by a validated process to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10° per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-2 for radiation sterilization of health care products.

Substantial Equivalence

The DCS Lacrimal Stent was evaluated in accordance with 21 CFR 807.87(d - g) to verify substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. The applicable predicates are identified in the comparison table provided in this summary. The attributes and technological comparisons to the predicates support the substantial equivalence of the DCS Lacrimal Stent for its intended use. Combined with the product performance and biocompatibility testing, the DCS Lacrimal Stent is substantially equivalent in function. technology and intended use to the commercially available predicate devices. Anv differences between the DCS Lacrimal Stent and the predicates do not raise any new types of safety or effectiveness questions.

Dear Dr. Ross:

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.

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
