No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and function of a bioresorbable gel, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes.
The device is intended to separate tissues, control bleeding, and act as an adjunct to aid in the natural healing process, all of which are therapeutic functions.
No
The device is described as a "space occupying gel stent intended to separate and prevent adhesions," "help control minimal bleeding," and "act as an adjunct to aid in the natural healing process." It functions therapeutically or as a physical barrier, not to identify or characterize a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "sterile, transparent, viscoelactic, bioresorbable gel composed of cross-linked polymers of hyaluronic acid," which is a physical substance, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes a device that is physically placed within the body (middle ear, external ear canal, nasal/sinus cavities) to provide structural support, prevent adhesions, control bleeding, and aid healing. This is a therapeutic and supportive function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details a physical gel composed of hyaluronic acid that fills cavities and separates tissues. This is consistent with a medical device used for physical intervention, not for analyzing samples from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites are internal body cavities, where the device is physically placed. IVDs typically interact with samples taken from the body.
In summary, the MeroGel Injectable Bioresorbable Nasal Dressing and Sinus Stent and Otologic Gel is a medical device used for physical support and healing within the body, not for performing in vitro diagnostic tests.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
MeroGel Injectable Bioresorbable Nasal Dressing and Sinus Stent and Otologic Gel is a space occupying gel stent intended to separate and prevent adhesions between mucosal surfaces, help control minimal bleeding following surgery or nasal trauma, and act as an adjunct to aid in the natural healing process.
MeroGel Injectable Bioresorbable Nasal Dressing and Sinus Stent and Otologic Gel is indicated for use in the middle ear and external ear canal following canalplasty, myringoplasty, tympanoplasty, and stapes and mastoid surgery. The device is indicated following nasal / sinus surgery or trauma to prevent lateralization of the middle turbinate and nasal adhesions during the post operative period.

Device Description
MeroGel is a sterile, transparent, viscoelactic, bioresorbable gel composed of cross-linked polymers of hyaluronic acid. The MeroGel device fills ENT cavities following surgery or trauma to keep tissues or structures separate during the healing process. During this time, the tamponade effect helps control minimal bleeding normally associated with routine ENT surgery. MeroGel leaves the site of placement by natural elimination, or it may be aspirated from the cavity earlier at the discretion of the physician.

Dear Mr. Kouchakjy:
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.

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 device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
4
forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
