The document describes a mechanical device and a modification to a wire component, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
No.
The device is described as a surgical tool for cutting and biting tissue and bone, which are procedural actions, not therapeutic interventions.
No.
The device is described as a surgical tool for cutting and biting soft tissue and bone, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a handle, shaft, cutting platform, cannula, catheter, and wire, all made of materials like Nitinol. The modification described is a physical surface finish process applied to a wire. This is a hardware device with a physical modification, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "accessing, cutting, and biting soft tissue and bone during surgery involving the spinal column." This describes a surgical tool used directly on a patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical device with a handle, shaft, cutting platform, and accessories like a probe and wire. These are all components of a surgical instrument.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
IVD devices are specifically designed for testing biological samples outside of the body. This device is clearly intended for use within the body during surgery.

Device Description
The MicroBlade Shaver device is comprised of a proximal handle, rigid shaft, and flexible cutting platform used for cutting and biting soft tissue and bone. The Probe Accessory is comprised of a telescoping proximal handle, cannula, and deployable catheter used to access the decompression site and place the accessory iO-Flex® Wire. The Distal Handle Accessory is comprised of a handle to accommodate the iO-Flex Wire using a wire locking mechanism and wire capture receptacle and allows manual control of the MicroBlade Shaver and Neuro Check® devices.
This 510(k) pre-market notification describes a modification solely to the iO-Flex Wire. The modifications include an additional surface finish process that employs heat treatment and a subsequent chemical etching process applied to the proximal wire section intended to improve the fatigue stress resistance. There were no changes in the wire material and a small change to one nominal dimension.
The modified iO-Flex Wire is manufactured from nickel-titanium ("Nitinol") and is designed to connect to the distal end of the Neuro Check Device and MicroBlade® Shaver device for placement and allows manual control of the MicroBlade Shaver and Neuro Check devices in the neural foramen. The iO-Flex Wire is packaged with the Neuro Check Device and available as a separately packaged accessory device.
The Baxano Inc. MicroBlade Shaver and Accessories are designed for accessing, cutting, and biting soft tissue and bone during surgery involving the spinal column.
The MicroBlade Shaver is designed to be flexible, with a low profile to allow access to compromised neural areas in the spinal column. The accessories include a Probe, Distal Handle and the iO-Flex Wire. The fundamental scientific technology and operating controls remain unchanged from the predicate iO-Flex Wire design.

Performance Data:
Substantial Equivalence: Mechanical bench top comparison testing was conducted on the modified and non-modified iO-Flex Wire designs to verify that the modified iO-Flex Wire meets current design specifications and performance characteristics, based upon the intended use.
The MicroBlade Shaver Device and Accessories are substantially equivalent to the MicroBlade Shaver and Accessories (K100958, cleared on July, 23, 2010). The MicroBlade Shaver and Accessories have the same indications for use and fundamental scientific technology as their predicate.
The indications for use, technological characteristics and operating controls remain the same. Non-clinical performance test results of the modified iO-Flex Wire do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Conclusions:
Baxano has determined, based on the same intended use, technological characteristics, operating controls and non-clinical performance testing that the modified iO-Flex Wire is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Any statement regarding "substantial equivalence" made in this 510(k) submission and summary only relotes to whether the product addressed in this submission may be lawfully market approval or reclassification, and is not intended to be interpreted as an admission or any other type of evidence in any potent proceeding, including patent infringement, litigation or proceeding before any Patent Office. The present submission and statements therefore should not be construed as affecting or relating to the scope of any patent application, or to whether the product addressed in this submission, or its use, may be considered indistinct, from a patentability perspective, from any of the other devices referenced in this filing.

Dear Mr. Sinclair:
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.
